Anybody know where to get a used seat assembly for a 2004 500HO? Use my ATV for mowing and food plotting and the seat pan is getting so hot it is melting. Going to wrap the exhaust pipe but I need a new seat, at least the pan that I can get recovered. Any ideas?:nerd

If you own an ACE please read this thread. I am 48 years old and have owned and ridden Polaris my entire life. I started riding dirt bikes at age 4 and have ridden offroad ever since. I HAVE NOT contacted Polaris about this problem yet because I felt the info needed to get into ACE owners hands as soon as possible. If you see this post PLEASE share it with your friends because I'm guessing it will be deleted soon. My wife owns a 2017 Polaris ACE 900xc and this weekend at Brimstone offroad park we were coming down a very steep (45 degrees or more) very rocky long hill. She was suppose to wait at the top but misunderstood and started down the hill. She made it maybe 1/4 of the way before I flew up the other side and stopped her, she knows the drill she holds her brake and puts it in park and we do a quick switch (me taking her place) so I can take it the rest of the way down. Now again this hill was steep with large rocks and decent size drops not really suitable for an Ace because of its length. Anyway I get in and I'm holding the brake looking at the trail ahead trying to pick a decent line and put the Ace in gear. At that time it took off like a rocket and I had NO BRAKES....not a spongy pedal, not weak brakes NO BRAKES I pumped them while bouncing from side to side and trying to steer a decent line until ultimately close to the bottom the machine went end over end diagonally and finally came to rest on its side with me hanging in the seat belt. I survived with only lots of bruising and soreness but its only by the grace of God I am alive. This is a REAL problem and I'm hoping Polaris takes this seriously but time will tell. PLEASE be careful on grades if you sit with brake on the let off the brake and re apply something happened and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. I am going to try and show you pictures of the bruising from the steering wheel and seat belt, this ride was no joke.....Thank you.

Hi all. I just bought an '09 850 XP Sportsman and someone had previously put a Big Gun exhaust on it. It would appear based on the fact that the pipe runs into the end of the muffler rather than towards the front of the wheeler that the pipe was changed as well. It's just me, but for how I use this quad I really don't want/need it to sound like a Harley. :smile

Are there quieter "slip on" options where I can simply replace the Big Gun muffler without having to purchase all new factory exhaust? Factory or even slightly louder would be much preferred...

Thanks!

My wife is complaining about the heat on her right leg on her 2016 570 SP EPS. I found some close off panel kit numbers on an older thread here and the one that should fit I believe would be part# 2207445.

The 2 places I called that advertise the kit to see if it would fit say Polaris said my wife's 570 is not part of the bulletin which I think is BS and they won't tell them if it will fit.

It's easier for me to buy the kit regardless if it is on their list or not due to traveling hardships. So I wanted to know if anyone has bought the kit outright and would this one fit her 570 or is it a different part#?

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Hello guys. So I had a buddy drop his quad off for me to take a look at it. The first issue was the quad bogs really bad when he starts working it hard. I am assuming this issue is from all the insulation on the gas tank missing and it almost being out of fuel which would cause the fuel to boil? I am planning to top the tank off and see what If I can re create the issue. The other issue I noticed was that the quad was very hard to push even in neutral. So I jacked it up and spun the front tires by hand and they seemed to spin easy. Then I tried the rear and noticed the RH rear tire was very stiff to rotate and would not even spin when I started the atv. I tried in 2x4 and turf mode and AWD? So I pulled the hub off that side and found the bearing was shot and now the axle spins but the LH now spins intermediately and makes a loud popping noise the odd time then engages and spins then stops? And the front tires also always spin even in 2x4? I am very confused on what is going on here any help would be very much appreciated

The 2013 had 12'' wheels stock. Will 14 inch wheels fit without issue?

I want to buy 28'' mega mayhems and would like beadlock wheels, so I wonder if I should get 12 or 14 inch wheels? What's better?

What wheels should I get? What kind of beadlock model is good? dual beadlock useful? I am looking at the STI HD9, look good, come in 14x7 for front and rear... should work I guess.

Aftermarket wheels don't have the same width as the OEM wheels, will the tires mount ok, will all be ok?

I think the tires are 9 front and 11 rear


shouldnt rub with elkas stage 3?

I Snapped the rear driver side inner CV joint - I have the unit disassembled but without the outer part of the axle to yank on I am having trouble getting the inner joint out of the rear diff - anyone have any great ideas ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - So far I have tried a long pry bar from behind the rear bumper on the lip where the boot clamps and hitting it but no luck

The plastic that is around the speedo and headlight broke. Anyone have one , preferably in red?
