I am having real problems with new Polaris ATV's. I bought these all new,

2016 850 Sportsman - Very hot melted side plastic, no power steering, nearly impossible to shift and fuel gauge didn't work. Traded it in.

2017 850 Sportsman Touring - Fuel pump over heats (Replaced fuel tank) Replaced primary clutch bearings 3 times. Fuel pump overheated again last week so I'm taking it back in.

2017 1000 Sportsman - Fuel gauge didn't work and fuel pump over heated. Replaced fuel tank 3 times. Rear wheel bearings replaced and new front shock. Power train is now very loud so it's going back in.

Has Polaris given up on ATV's and concentrating on RZR. The repairs have been under warranty but that's about over. My family has bought 14 Polaris ATV's over the last 4 years but after these last 3, I may change brands. Anyone else having quality issues like I am?

The heat shield (P/N: 715003431) that Can Am made for the 6x6 by the muffler that was for excessive heat on the bed and included a heat shield to protest the exposed gas tank. Well it turns out the shield installed by the gas tank can cause another problem, and that is it rubs against the gas tank and may rub all the way through. I am doing some maintenance and when removing the muffler, I saw that the shield had rubbed a gouge about ½” long and maybe 1/8” deep. It will be an easy fix to trim the shield back about 1” so it can’t touch the gas tank, and I will fill the gouge with epoxy but I thought it was worth mentioning to all 6x6 owners if they have that heat shield installed to check it.

I have been going back and forth with the dealer now for 1 week. I got the phone call yesterday and the manager told me out the door 11000.00 OTD. Is it worth it ? OR Should i drive 5 hours north of me to get the same bike for 10,700 ? I am really excited to purchase this beast. Thanks guys.

Hi I'm new to the forum and to can am. So far I'm impressed. I have a 2007 outlander 500. The problem is : it starts and runs perfectly but if I turn the engine off it will not re-start til the entire display goes off. Otherwise the check engine light comes on and won't go off until you let it shut down completely. I've checked for p codes and it says " active p codes check engine end "
Nothing else is displayed have not been able to find a code. It does the same thing if the engine isn't started but just the key turned to the start position and turned off check engine light back on. Any help is appreciated

Hi everyone I'm Mike from central Florida just purchased a 2007 outlander 500 and love it so far.

I've read several different posts that Canam uses self tapping screws to mount their mud guard kit to the fenders for the Gen 2 bigger bore machines. Is this still true or have they updated the mounting hardware? I'm especially interested to hear from anyone with a newer 1000 Outty on this.

I have run Direction 2 Fender Extensions in the past and they actually bolt to the fenders and are very rugged. I do however prefer the look and style of the Canam kit but really would like something more rugged than just screws holding them on.

I could really use some help. There is a clear tube coming out of the frame near the seat on the left side. Where does it connect to? It's about a foot long.

2000 Scrambler 500 4x4.

Thanks in advance.
