I'm just curious if anyone has put factory 850/1000 Sportsman 14" wheels/tires on their older style (strut suspension) 570 or 450 sportsmans? I recently upgraded My 2017 Sportsman 850 SP to some aftermarket wheels and Big Horn 2.0 tires and would like to put my stock 14" wheels and tires on my wife's 2017 Sportsman 570 EPS . Now I've tried just bolting them on but where the bolt pattern is the same, the hub size on the 570 seems to interfere with the 850's wheels?? I'm sure they make some kind of adapter? Now I don't want to go with some 3" thick adapter that makes the wheels stick out way past the fenders, I'm just looking for maybe a 1" adapter to make these work. I'm hoping to not have to remove and install new studs. Any suggestions or links to a site that sells these?> Thank you!!:grin

Hello all, I'm new here and fairly new to the ATV/ 4 wheeling world. I have been riding snowmobiles for awhile now and finally (last June) decided to get my first 4 wheeler( 2017 sportsman 850 SP). After experiencing the 4 wheeler I had such a good time I decided to get the wife and 2 boys involved and picked up a 2017 Sportsman 570 (red/EPS) and 2 used (2012 / 2013 Outlaw 90's). I have had no experience with 4 wheelers and no bias to any brand for my purchase other than my neighbor's 2003 Sportsman 700. He bought it new and the only issue he had was replacing a belt in 14 years!! I think that speaks for it's self ! I ride Arctic Cat snowmobiles and until I'm proven otherwise I think they are the best sleds as Polaris is the Best ATV's!! I will have lots of questions and hopefully as I learn about these Machines I will be able to help in future discussions. So I look forward to chatting with a lot of you> Happy Riding :grin

Hey guy so my 2016 can am outlander XMR 1000 Battery finally left me upset.
Loaded on the trailer when it was about 65 outside. Went the following day to the weekend ride and was cold about 30 outside and she said low battery and no start:( jumped machine off and road around and it started all day no issues. I know how this will go so I want to replace. What is a quality battery to go with

Yesterday I was out with the Outlander ice fishing and later in the afternoon in really cold conditions I experienced an issue I never encountered before and would like to know where to begin looking. I turned the key switch to head light, nothing happened, then to far right and nothing happened- no lights, no display on dash, nothing.


The machine would turn over, but never started- just cranked and cranked.


What the H would cause this now? Key switch? Would the extreme cold conditions cause this in any way? It wasn't the battery because I have an auxillary LED rack and that lit up well.

I recently upgraded from a 2004 Outlander 400 to a 2017 850 Max. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with the increase in power from the 400 to the 850. This is not the case. Regardless of what key I use, the regular or performance, the 850 has terrible throttle response. I can't even get the tires to spin on snow covered ground on initial take off with the performance key. In addition, it has no more power then my old 400 which is needless to say, very disapointing. My question is this. In spite of the fact that the key reads "performance key" on the dash when plugged in, is it possible that the performance key is programmed as a regular key? I barely notice any difference between the two keys in regards to performance. The 850 now has about 40 miles and 10 hrs on the machine.

New to the forum. Just bought a 2001 Traxter 500 foot shift. Was told it needed a sprag clutch. The guy I bought from has had it for a few years and was told this when he got it from a friend. So needles to say it hasn’t been started in a few years.

When you pull the starter cord it doesn’t budge. I can’t get it to turn over.

He had the starter off cause he thought it was stuck. I checked this sprag by trying to move the gear with a screwdriver. I can move the starter gear in one direction but not the other. This should mean this sprag is good correct?

Not sure how to test the sprag in the clutch. I did put it gear it will roll backwards no problem however the wheels lock up when you try to move it forwards. I’m assuming this tells me the clutch sprag is good? Thoughts?

I’ve been reading past threads and have not seen these symptoms with any other sprag issues.

Do you guys think it’s seized?

Hi Everyone,

Newb to the forum but owned my sportsman 570 for a few years now. First real issue I have had :)

grabbing the hand brake will engage the starter, engine running or not, key in and key out of ignition. gear position doesn't matter.
trying to see if anyone else has this happen. not sure if I am chasing a safety interlock in the brake circuit or if this is an ignition issue. ie the ignition is 'hanging' in the start positon.

thinking not as I type this because I can start it with the key and once the key returns to the 'on' position the starter will disengage as per normal.

I will add that the foot brake has no effect on anything, purely a hand brake cause / effect.
Also, the STOP / RUN / STOP switch can be in any position and again grabbing the hand brake will cause the starter to spin


thoughts on where to start much appreciated

I've read good reviews on the new Maverick Trail as well as the Polaris RZR 50" and the Polaris ACE. These narrow body machines may someday surpass the traditional quad. I like the idea of a lower center of gravity, a longer wheelbase, seat belt and a roll cage. I think these machines are quite a bit safer than a quad. And I think they would be more comfortable for a long trail ride. They would not be as good in the mud.

Do you think the Maverick Trail will overtake the Renegade and Outlander?
