Hola group,

just a quick question. I understand that the width of a 570 is approximately 48". Just enough to fit into the box of a pickup truck.

What is the width of the inner wheel to inner wheel? 35-40"? I'm just wondering if there's enough space to slide some loading ramp down between the tires, once the ATV is loaded onto a pickup truck.

TIA,

New to these parts, currently in process of looking around to purchase new or used Sportsman. Looking between 500-700cc. Really leaning toward buying new 2018 570 but also been checking into a 2011 550 in mint condition but has just over 5k on it.

Hi all, I have a 2012 Sportsman 850XP EPS and was trying to see if anybody has a pdf of the shop/ service manual for it. I have a service manual for a 2009 850, is the 2012 manual very different, and if so, does anybody know what is different?
Thanks in advance!

Newbie poster here, appreciate any advice in advance.

Just purchased a 2018 base 450 HO and a 2018 850 SP Touring. Have $250 in accessories credit on both machines, but can't combine the credits. I was just going to buy a winch for the 850 and be done with it but I can only use one voucher towards that. So, what are some good, must have, recommended accessories for these machines. My 12 year old son will ride the 450 and the 850 is the wife and I. Mostly easy trails, nothing crazy. No plowing or work use, no hunting use, just recreational riding. I am probably going with a 3500 lb winch on the 850 and will pay the difference. What about the other machine? Was gonna throw hand guards on both, but those are cheap. Thanks for the help!

I have a 2007 Sportsman 800x2 it calls for a Fram Oil PH6017A I know this sounds stupid I have had it since new it has been sitting for several years Im getting it out and back running again just looked it has a PH7317 Fram on it don't remember how I came to that any else use PH7317 on there units?

For anyone in the market for new skid plates for their ATV I'm going to pass on what I have found. The following prices reflect a quote for a 2017 Can Am Outlander Max 850 XT full coverage shipped to Massachusetts. Your particular ATV may be priced differently.

Ricochet (Aluminum)
$504.95
- 15% code FORUMS-2018
= $429.20
+ $37.18 Shipping
Total = $466.38

Iron Baltic (HDPE)
$515.00
Free Shipping
Total = $515.00

SPOP (Swedish Performance Off road Parts)
$350.00 (HDPE)
+ $35.00 Shipping
Total = $385.00

I chose SPOP for the following reason:
1. Price (I'm cheap)
2. Designed to work with my Can AM plow mount.
3. Customer Service. I emailed them with a question and received a response within 5 minutes. In all fairness, I did not email Iron Baltic and Ricochet responded to a question within 24 hours.

Please do not make this a debate over which product is better. I am simply sharing this information for anyone that may be in the market for skid plates.

I have a new sportsman 570 and there is a vibration noise coming from the right side when I rev it but it olny vibrates for the first 3000 rpm and then it goes away any ideas and I should I get it looked at

My sportsman olny has about 275 miles on it and 1 day it wouldn’t start it would turn over but never turn on but the next day it started right up so I went to change the spark plugs and couldn’t get a socket in there any tips on how to get the spark plug out it’s not under the air box like everyone else’s

Im looking to upgrade my 650 max with a better set of tires. Its a 2016 and still has the stock tires that came with it. Im looking for a size that i dont have to get bigger shocks and upgrade my clutch yet. I do mostly trail riding. Any suggestions?

Can you guys tell me if the stock shocks on a 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 are rebuildable or not? I took the shocks off and shook them and it sounds like there's water inside. I'm trying to figure out if I should just buy new shocks or bother with the stock ones.

If I buy new shocks, I'm eyeing a set of the Elka Stage 1s. Do you guys know where I can pick up a set? The Elka website doesn't seem to have a complete inventory.

Lastly, the original shock bushings are shot and I can't find new ones. If I buy the Elka shocks, do they come with bushings?
