Im not too picky on which version of the wheel it is. i have the all silver wheels currently. (silver in the center of the spokes, Machined on the outer edges and lip) just want one to mount a spare tire on.

Must be an Aluminum Wheel! Thank you!

Hello All.
Bought a 570 Sportsman X2 in early December and finally got out this past weekend. What a blast. This is my 1st ATV-raced dirt bikes-moto & hare scrambles in my younger days. Went upstate NY and rode in the snow. I've added a few goodies but the one I'm most impressed with are the Pit Bull Growler XOR tires.

I do have a question-how do I post photos? I have a Shutterfly account & wondering if I can do it from there?
Thanks & look forward to being here. I've already digested lots of information that helped me to make some accessory buying decisions.

Anyone know what thread size Polaris part #7512232 is?

I recently purchased a '95 Magnum and while looking at it i noticed the hi-beam didn't work. The colored indicator light by the key would come on indicating the hi beam was on, but the light itself won't come on. So this weekend i went to swap the bulb. Upon pulling the old bulb, it looked just fine but i replaced with a new one anyway. Still didn't work. I followed the 2 yellow, 2 brown and 1 green light and I didn't see any signs of rubbing or fraying.

So i'm wondering if there's something else i need to check?

One thing i did notice and not sure if it means anything or not. When i slide the switch to turn from off, low beam and hi beams there is a clicking sound on each spot except for the high beam. Not sure if this means anything or if it could mean the switch itself is bad.

Thoughts?

So this weekend i went to change the fluids on my '95 425 Magnum i acquired last week. Per the manual, i was supposed to drop a skid plate to change the tranny fluid...well, when i looked under there i could instantly see the drain plug for the transmission. I was able to change the fluid without dropping or removing anything but the plug.

So, how critical is it to have this skid plate? I mean, what does it all cover? Anyone have a picture of it?

Is it worth hunting one down and if so, is Ebay my best choice?

Anyone seen a front diff casing for a 2011 Sportsman 500 HO? Cracked the bolt threads. Appreciate any help.

I am looking at a couple of used machines and trying decide between these two. The choice is between a 2013 Sportsman 800 EFI and a 2017 Sportsman 570. They are about the same price, similar hours and miles. This will be my first ATV, using for hunting, ice fishing, and around the farm. Some of the questions I have are:

1) Ultimately, which machine and why?
2) What is the right price for an almost 6 year old 800EFI with 1000 miles?

As ATVs get older, do you get concerned about repair parts availability? I know it's been a problem for some brands other than Polaris. I hope to own for 10 years. I don't know much about the 800EFI engine and drivetrain. It appears 2014 was its last year in production. I have heard really good things about the newer 570. My primary concern is reliability and longevity.

added a back up light to the 850. Switch is a waterproof push button i 33lb 3M outdoor double sided taped to the throttle control. Power from a unused orange and white ignition wire under by the battery. wires ran soldered, shrink wrapped, and loomed. Rounded off radiator support as the battery already has too much hooked to it. its a Grote BZ301-5 lamp
