I'm looking to trade with someone who has the front rack found on a Sportsman 850 for my storage box/rack found on a Sportsman Touring. Or, just purchase a front rack from you.

Thanks!

I just purchased a Maverick Trail 1000 and plow. I would like to add reverse lights - any recommendations? I would like a kit that has a 3 state (always on, always on and on when in reverse) switch that looks OEM.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,

God bless the USA!

The Diesel Brothers definitely don’t do anything halfway so when it comes to building a patriotic Polaris RZR XP4 Turbo, one could only expect it to be over the top. The Patriot is definitely brimming with red, white and blue and with a character like Diesel Dave behind the wheel, it doesn’t get much more American than this.

Hi all, Happy New Year.

My seat blew off my 2016 Sportsman 570 EPS on the highway (it was bungeed and I still lost it). I recovered it but it is destroyed. From what I can tell the OEM part number is 2686695-070 and is expensive. Does anybody make an aftermarket seat that fits this machine? I can't find anything searching the various sites.
Thanks.

Happy New Year to All! I just picked up a 2017 Sportsman 570 X2 and looking to changing the tires. I've narrowed my choice down to the Pit Bull Growler XOR 25.5 x 8 & 25.5 x 10 to go on the stock 12" wheels. Is anyone running these on a 570 & if so did you experience any rubbing issues?

Asking in the event I need to order wheels with an offset.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Anyone know how to time a sportsman 450 HO, and what the head bolt torque specs and sequence Is? Thanks

So after having flu like symptoms for the past 2 weeks through the holidays, I was finally getting over this crude and getting a bit of cabin fever. So yesterday was the first day it was sunny in over a week instead of gloomy and cloudy so put on some insulated coveralls, gloves and my Russian Ushanka to do some work outside. Despite it was below freezing.

I decided to get my ATV out to have a bit of fun. Actually the main reason was to move it from my storage building to my garage to hook a trickle charger to the battery and all of my other cars and lawnmower in case these subfreezing temperatures ruined the batteries. Which I normally do anything through winter. I also wanted to do a few things to it.

I really didn't think it would even start at 18F but I think I had been using the wrong cold starting technique. But after a few seconds of cranking, it fired right up to my amazement.

I normally leave my ATV in neutral with the parking brake off. So I proceeded to put it into reverse and the gear shiftier wouldn't move!

So I linked up a couple of extension cords and grabbed an old hair dryer. After about 10 minutes of heating the shiftier box, it finally started to free up. Once it broke loose, it shifted fine even in low range.

Any of you guys ever had this happen before?

Could there be water in the shifter or could someone have used a thicker oil? Or no oil at all? I replaced most of the fluids and greased everything I could find on this thing but that is one thing I have not checked.

When I got this ATV, the shifter boot was busted. I replaced the boot and used some nylon ties as clamps so no water should have gotten into the shifter mechanism last time I was on the trail busting through some mud puddles back in October.

Unless there was water in it before I installed the new boot and it never dried out. Is this the item that requires something like a couple of ounces of 0W30 motor oil?

So what's the technique used to fill it? Remove the shift knob and the star head bolts and pull the top half off and fill the box that way and try to see what's in it first?

I would appreciate some help. I am currently working on a 2017 Polaris sportsman 450 HO. Cam broke so replaced it along with gear. I cannot find info on timing this bad boy. I see 2 horizontal marks on the gear which i assume would be parallel to the head. I'm guessing the little tab on the cam that goes in the notch on the cam gear lines up with a mark on the chain, I see only 1 mark. I took out the sensor and don't see any distinguishing marks on the crank positioning. And is it the typically top dead center alignment or I read somewhere about a bottoms dead center alignment. Also what are torque specs on the head? Thank you. Or if someone can point me to an e manual for this beast I would appreciate that also. Thanks!
