hi guys, i picked up my new renegade 1000 yesterday and i discovered a few strange things. first, its equipped with ABS brakes, which is freaking me out a bit as im not sure how its going to react on the trails when coming into corners, as well as how well it will work in the six month winter we have here in norway.
but the strangest thing is the good old thumb throttle has been replaced by an electronic throttle system with a lever operated by two fingers instead.
its a strange plastic lever operated by the forefingers, leaving me to hold on with only my two little fingers. you can turn it around and operate it with the palm of your hand as well but i found that too alien. after riding it for a few hours, i found my hand and forearm were aching from operating the throttle and holding on with only two fingers. i cant find any info online about this, not even a picture or reference to it. has anybody heard of this before, or is this another strange europe only thing?

aw man!

I’ve got a 2015 570 and the battery wont charge. Battery is 2 months old and went and had it tested and it’s fine. Also used a buddy’s good battery and it didn’t change. Tested the stator and it has .4 ohms which is good. And it has 20 something volts ac when running at idle which is good. Tested the regulator rectifier and it’s good. Did a insulator breakdown test on both and they’re both good. But still not charging. Idk what else to do. Are there any fuses or breakers for the charging system. I’ve got a wild boar radiator relocation kit up on the front rack so didn’t wanna take it all off to look at fuses just yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hola group,


Wifey and I have been really enjoying our new 570 Max DPS Outlander. I'm now getting the upgrade fever. Here's what I'd like to consider, and would appreciate any feedback.


With the 2-up I only ride with Wifey on the back, (I do let her drive a lot though, and she loves it). So it's always (2) on this ATV whenever we ride. We do not have an overly aggressive riding style. We don't ride off of the trails, nor hammer down the rocky slopes at plus 20-25mph. We just enjoy the scenery, and taking our ATV out for a nice sunny day.



- I'm thinking of going with the Iron Baltic skid plates. I kinda like the idea of plastic for all of the rocky terrain we have here in AZ. Yes, I understand the fastener's might be an issue if I scrape a lot of rocks. Where we ride in Bulldog Canyon, plenty of rocks. So I understand the need for protecting your bottom.


- I kinda like the idea of going with a winch too. Looking at the Superwinch Terra 35. Reviews look great, and the install appears to be snap.


- Also thinking of going with an EJK, EFI controller. I do suffer the heat on the left ankle thingy, even with the 2018. I'll do a bit more research here, and maybe some of the home brew heat ducting ideas might work.


- Last question, is it necessary for adding a frame mod? Something to stiffen things up? Is so, is there a kit recommendation? Simple install?



thanks again, just throwing these ideas out there for your feedback.

Hi does anybody know for sure what years Polaris Sportsman 500 I can interchange my 2009 Sportsman 500 high output carb model transmission with?

My first atv was bought new in 1987, a Suzuki LT125. Currently I am running a 2005 Sportsman 500. The SxS bug has bitten me recently and I have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube. One thing that started bothering me the more I watched is the trail destruction on many of the videos. The newer larger machines on any kind of soft ground just rips up deep ruts in one go. SxS's seem to create more destruction than almost any ATV can do. Some of what causes that is they take the SxS in places an ATV would never dare attempt to ride. They also have to take multiple attempts to get through, and when they do, they are not easy on the loud pedal when they do.

Many people in those videos I am sure don't ride on property they own. Many also don't go to off road parks like Hatfield&McCoy where they maintain the property and can clean up the roads on a yearly basis. Does that destruction of trails and property not concern anyone else.

So suddenly my fuse for the read taillights keep blowing. What could be causing this?

Does anyone have a part number for the stock lug nuts for the plain black steel rims? I am going to get a new set of tires next month and my old ones look pretty bad.




Thanks

Hey people. My name is Terry and I drive a 2012 Commander 1000 side by side. I just started to have this problem. Right after the machine starts, the alternator light comes on for a brief second, then goes out. When I turn my key back for the lights to come on. They don't and my alternator light comes back on and I get the message, check engine. The only thing that I have done so far was check the battery. It's fine. I was wondering if there is any modules that i should be looking for or any suggestions before I rip the hell out of it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a 2004 Polaris 90 I got cheap and am trying to rehabilitate for my kids. When I first got it, it would only run with the choke on. I pulled the spark plug which was black but in surprisingly good shape. The air filter was also in pretty good shape. Pulled the carb and it looks brand new. Cleaned it out anyway, made sure the jets were clear, etc., Put on a new fuel line between the petcock and tank, and the gas seems to flow freely.

Put everything back together, kicked it over, and it started right up without the choke on. Started to give it gas and it died immediately. Started it again and it idled ok, but died when I tried to give it gas.

Adjusted the air screw (so many times I forget which setting I was on) and got it to where the engine would idle, and I could apply gas and take off. Under heavy throttle it was bogging down (too lean or too rich I can't tell), but when I brought it back to idle it would die.

Tried adjusting the throttle slide stop screw and nothing really happened, except once or twice when a slight adjustment coincided with the engine dying.

Starting to chase my tail here. I'd really appreciate any insight as would my kids!
