Looking to buy a 2017 450 HO for plowing my drive this winter, but am hearing people say Polaris are badly made and unreliable. The competing dealers of course, but also on a shooters forum I visit.

With blade and winch it's $8000 (canadian) out the door.(Thats about $7000 before tax. Seems too good to miss, but I'm worried about what I hear about build quality and reliability.

I know this is a Polaris forum, so may be biased, but this seems such a good deal. Should I be scared off and buy a Yamaha for the extra $3000 ?

My first visit to this forum. Thanks for your help.

Took the atv out to a bachelor party and let some buddies ride around, bad idea i guess. It has about 50 hours on it now but this weekend it started having what i believe is some kind of driveline issue. When you put it in gear and ease on the throttle, it hesitates a second or two to accelerate, but when it does the rear tires spin a little and then she goes like normal. Took the clutch housing off and the belt still looks brand new. All of the Polaris shops around me are backed up at least two weeks, and its about to be hunting season. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just want to see if anyone plan to go for Pumpkin Run this year ?

new to the ATV community
first ATV is a 2017 Can Am XMR 1000
Friends are already suggesting mods?
Air snorkel kit
Exhaust snorkel kit
front and rear L.E.D. bars
Rear winch (5000 lb)


with these suggestions I think my first purchase will be chest waders lol


Hope to learn a lot and have some fun here

Just ordered a 2018 Outlander 570 Max DPS. I'm told it will be here in October. I've been riding family or borrowed machines for quite a while now but this will be my first. I ordered a pretty much bare bones machine and plan to add skid plates, bumpers, and a winch at a minimum. If this forum is like a diesel truck forum I am sure that I will find other things that I don't need and my wife will want to ban me from the internet.

I currently live in Northern VA and have started to look for places to ride within a couple hours drive.

Got a kinroad 110cc buggy and noticed it keeps revving high so I've changed carb, checked carb to manifold for leaks then I find a whole next to where the spark goes in! What is best way to fix this! Bike still runs but bogs out on acceleration, will I need a whole new head?

So I have to load 2 sportsman and a suzuki ozark on my 16x6.5 trailer. And trips, tricks or suggestions?

Good afternoon,
I have a 2008 Sportsman HO 500 with 2500 miles that does not seem to hold a charge. I have read that this could be a bad stator?
How do I test to confirm?
Is this a DIY project? I have worked on cars but not much on ATVs.
Does anyone have a good breakdown on how to test/replace?
What other parts should I consider replacing "while I am in there" ?
TIA

While I had the central panel cover off this weekend, I noticed that the wires were off the back of the power outlet. I just bought the 2011 Outlander 500, used, so don't know history. Just thinking it should have wires there to hook up. Called dealership, and they described wires I just didn't see. Hate to run it up to them just to hook up two wires.
Any ideas?
