Are there any Sportsman nuts here who know the upgrades/changes/differences they made to the 2018 Sportsman 850 SP's? I can spot a few, but curious if anyone knows for sure. Even the dealers don't know haha.
No charge to battery
2017 sportsman 570. 56 hours/ 450 miles.
I get to our cabin once a month to ride it. Muddy trails but I'm 52 and don't ride crazy.
Started it up on Thursday, said Lo 10.5 when I started it, eventually went back to DC 12.5.
Same thing Friday, but then voltage started going down and bike died after we'd been riding for few hours. Wouldn't start up.
Took a battery from a friend's 400 to get the 570 back to cabin. But even that one said LO 10.6.
Charged up original battery, put it back i, started up, and that one says LO 10.6. Didn't ride it again, but it started up fine next day to get out on trailer to take it home on Sunday, still saying LO 10.6.
Was going to take out to the dealer, just concerned they will charge an arm and a leg.
Worth replacing regulator, then stater or should I take it in?

Still Brain Box TROUBLE !!
Ordered a aftermarket ..would not run ..backfired through carburetor and seemed to affect timing...and simply would not idle....was sent a replacement..SAME PROBLEM..
Each time I replaced aftermarket with my original CDI .. unit is a 1997 Polaris 425 magnum 6x6..run well except times want idle or shut down with switch.
Any suggestions except buying Polaris CDI..?.....thanks for reading!

NEED HELP 96 xplorer 300 issues
I'm new to this site so this is my first post. I bought a 1996 Polaris explorer 300 4x4 since I moved from the city to the country and I wanted an ATV to do yard work. Two years later I bought a new ATV and want to sell the explorer but it got some issues I want to fix before I put it up for sale. I'll be riding around and after about 15 mins of riding and warming it up ill give it full throttle down a straight road and it will bog down and die, I will try to start it and it won't start I have little mechanical experience with these machines so I have no clue as to what's happening
Tranny oil 2000 scrambler
I just replaced the chain in this 2x4 scrambler 500. I know polaris has all these top secret oils but does anybody use chaincase oil from a snowmobile? The reverse gear and chains are very similar. A snowmobile chain is longer but that is it. The top bearing is sometimes not a sealed unit on a sled chaincase. If so, I hear people using everything from automatic tranny fluid to gear oil to chaincase oil.
Check DPS, Low Batt Voltage, check Engine light on. What could be the causes?
Hello, in running a 2013 650 max outlander and on my last ride the check engine light came on. Then started scrolling check DPS, then later started scrolling low Batt voltage. Was able to make it home but I’m thinking it’s a stator problem. Anyone else have a similar problem?

P0301 Engine Misfire
Hi everyone, I am having an issue that is getting really annoying and I am unable to locate the problem. I am really hoping someone in this community can help!! I have a 2015 Can Am Commander 1000 XTP. It currently has little over 16000KM of pretty much flawless miles and I love the machine. A little while ago upon starting my machine and idling to warm up, I heard a change in note and the engine was obviously running rough and on one cylinder. It went into limp mode and provided a engine misfire code P0301 indicating it was cylinder number 1. I initially just turned it off and upon restarting it worked fine and code was gone. Thought it was a one off... a week later same issue which was again resolved by just shutting off and restarting and the rest of the day was fine. It continued to do this and became a little worse over time doing it every cold startup and disappearing when engine was warm. I was preparing machine for a long trip and had dealer complete a few maintenance items including changing the spark plugs believing one may have been fouled a little causing the issue. The plugs with 15000km on them were in great shape and probably didn't need to be changed. The issue didn't happen at first at the dealer but before I took it they did finally see the issue and while hooked up to computer verified it was misfiring. They felt it might be a dirty injector and suggested I try some cleaner in my fuel. So I was beginning a 1200km 7 day trip and during same I used the best fuel I could find and did use a injector treatment (seafoam). The issue seemed a little better at first however it was still present. By the end of the trip however even with engine warm when I let it idle it would go into a misfire and limp mode. Re-starting still resets it and if I get on the gas I can still go all day!
So I decided its time to fix this for good... I tore everything down and first took out both injectors and the cylinder #1 injector did look a little dirty so I thought bingo... To be sure I cleaned them and swapped them so if issue was the injector it should now be cylinder 2. Nope still have problem and its still number 1. So Injectors crossed off list. Next thinking coil. I swapped out coil from identical commander (friends) and still no change. Swapped out coil wire to #1 still no change so not coil or wires. Had a fuel pump pressure gauge and checked pressure. Seems perfect with the pressure holding strong even when the engine dying down with misfire and not to mention issue never changed to any other cylinder except #1 so I am confident that fuel pump is ok. Next I am going to have a look at the air intake with throttle body etc as I did notice it was a little more dirty then I would like when I removed the injectors and could see behind towards the air filter. Thought about valve issues maybe but there is no sound and with the plugs being in great shape think they are ok?? After I try everything else I can I will get dealer to look valves over if necessary.
So question......... anyone out there have anything similar or any suggestions for me. Very annoying problem that needs to be resolved.
Thanks
