Picking up a new quad

Wednesday i will be picking up my new quad (650 Outlander Max XT). I was curious if there is anything i should double check before i take official delivery of the bike?

it is being assembled right out of the crate, so safe to assume if there are any recalls they will hopefully be done as they assemble it. Are there any known recalls for the 2018s?

i am a car guy and this is my first bike, so i am nervous and super excited.

Giving polaris a try

Just picked up a new to me 16 sportsman 850 sp, was told it was a light rollover with just cosmetic scratches remaining. Dealer also told me they just put a new front diff and axles in it and I made sure to get a 2 year extended warranty as well. Past quads were a Kodiak and a king quad both of which I loved, but figured I'd go a different route this time. Haven't had time to get to a trail.

Elka shocks, can you run them soft?

I was wondering, I am a light driver, and I adjusted the stock shocks to get them as soft as possible.
The atv rides MUCH softer now, I almost don't feel the bumps.

But, I can't really go faster because the atv is going everywhere and is hard to control, it's like they bounce even more now, kicking me all over the place.

With elka shocks, are you able to run them soft and keep better control, or it also comes at the cost of firmer ride?

Trying to figure it out, because I do a lot of really bumpy forest trail, I don't want a shock that is going to be too firm, more like tuned for hardpack racing.

Stage3s will probably be my next upgrade, because I can't keep control when going fast with the stock shocks. It's like I can't even turn, the atv kind of rolls to the side instead of turning, a little hard to explain.

Thanks.

What I know for sure ........4 wheeler would turn over but not start. Thought it was carb. Replaced it. Still same thing. Cranked on it until I burned starter up. ( very dumb I know). Replaced starter. Back to square one. Will crank now but not start. Replaced spark plug. Still crank no start. Pull spark up and ground to motor. No spark. Just ordered ignition coil. Should this solve problem?

06 sportsman 500 No electrical power HELP

Hello All
I am new to this forum. Please help.
I have a 2006 Polaris sportsman 500 HO. Carb engine.
The ECM and the stator has been replaced ( Due to other issues). The ATV was running fine. Parked it and now there is absolutely no electrical power to the console. No lights also. I can hot wire the ignition switch and she will start. I also replaced the ignition switch. NO LUCK. I don't know what else to check. The kill switch in in the run position. Please help.
Thank you all.

2015 850 Touring Surging at 55mph

I have a 2015 Sportsman 850 touring with 900 miles. The machine runs great all the way up to 55mph. Once you get to 55mph, it feels like it pulsates or surges and eventually you get up to 75mph.

New plugs and wires
New belt
Running Maxzillas

Otherwise it is bone stock.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Charging issue.

OK so i bought my 570 about two years ago and my nephew borrowed it for a day when i was out of town and the battery died on him. He said it died when using the winch he jumped it and it stayed running for a while and if he got over 40 it would start to cut out. I replaced the battery on it and it started up just fine volt gauge only running at 11.3 fan kicks on 11.0, lights not much difference. He mentioned the winch so i disconnected it and it still doesn't go up. its actually gotten worse and when i parked it today it was down too 11.1. I'm really new to working on an ATV so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

So like the title says we the wife and I picked up a new 2018 570 touring EPS. This will be the Mrs wheeler. She has actually never ridden except for a very little around the house. But we figured it would be nice to be able to ride together with the option of taking one of the kiddos. Going to do a couple of upgrades before it hits the trails. On the short list is Iron Baltic full skids, Guru bumpers front and rear, Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires, Raceline Black Momba beadlocks, Polaris front rack extender, and an OGIO front Honcho semi rigid bag. I'll be doing a winch but I wanted to see how the wiring was done before I decide on a Warn or Polaris setup. Also I'll be doing a 10" Rigid Industries LED light bar which I will have John at Guru fab mounts on the front bumper for. With all the great things I hear about the 570 it was an easy purchase to make.
