Here I am in a nice RV park in Tucson, AZ. I'm walking the beagle and see a Polaris RZR 1000 XP down the row. Nice machine. The beagle and I notice it has a South Dakota license plate on the back. I see mirrors and turn signals on the machine. I did not realize South Dakota has a street legal law for ATVs and UTVs. I'll add that one to my list.

Then on the other side of the campground is yet another RZR with a Montana license. I knew Montana has a street legal law, but with some caveats if I recall correctly.

And of course Arizona is the leader in street legal ATV laws and has been for a long time. Arizona is a great place to vacation with your ATV. Maybe the law grew from golf carts in retirement communities, I don't know. But you can license and ride your machine on public secondary roads here in Arizona. I think Arizona accepts ATVs licensed in other states like they do my pickup.

I saw a Can Am Maverick X3 two seat on a 4 lane boulevard sitting at the stop light. It looked great to me.

Our hobby would be enhanced significantly if we could ride on public secondary roads, especially in the rural areas.

I purchased a 2018 outlander xmr 850 and was wondering if anyone has found an option for a front tow hook? The Polaris sportsman highlighter has a point built in to the bumper. I’m considering installing a plate on the winch bracket.

I took the front hubs apart on my 2003 sportsman 500 as the previous user put grease in them rather than the proper fluid. The 4x4 was still working, but I wanted to make it right.

I got everything cleaned up and when putting it all back together I noticed that each wheel has one bearing where the inside edge is rounded over.

Is that a worn bearing or does each wheel have a rounded edge bearing that goes in a particular place?

I figure it's just worn but I'm unsure since both wheels have the same looking bearings.

I've attached a pic of one 'normal' bearing and a rounded one so you can see what I'm talking about. The rounded one is on the left in the pic.

Thanks,

Hey guys,

I have a 2017 sportsman 850. It has been jerking real bad lately starting out, when i'm going its fine.
I took a look at the belt and it looks like it is ready to be replaced. Just had a couple of questions.

1. What does everyone recommend for belts, or if I should just go for the OEM Polaris belt?
2. How long should a belt last if broken in properly?

If you have any recommendations, links to Canadian pages would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello group,

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 2-UP ATV. Been tossing between the Outlander 570 Max DPS and a Polaris 570 Touring (EPS).

At the moment, leaning towards the Can-AM. A good way to go? anything you "experts" would advise?

(Admins - please push this to right forum if I've misplaced it).

TIA to all,

Hello group,

Hi sorry if this has been asked already,

I am a proud owner of a new 450 eps ho

One thing I noticed is the battery location which is under the radiator quite exposed now I realise this is probably better for weight distribution but I’m a bit concerned about submerging it in water?

I'm hoping to get some responses on my other post (RZR 1000XP vs Maverick XC) but can anyone tell me if the 2017 maverick XC still gets super hot in the cab like I've been reading? Thanks!
