sportsman fron wheel bearings

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,

2017 Sportsman 850

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!

Looking to buy a 2018

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,

-Jav

Walker Fowler Back on Top at CST Tires Camp Coker Bullet GNCC

Arriving just in time for round five of the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series, an AMA National Championship, were near perfect racing conditions at Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve, who hosted America’s premier off-road ATV racers Saturday, April 21. All eyes were on the front row when the 1 p.m. race took off, to see who would take the overall win.

450 battery

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!
