335 A arm bushings

I have a 99 Sportsman 335.

Found that the bushings are shot especially the outer top one in the rear and the shock bushings. Bought the JC Capri set and was installing and came up with 2 issues:

1. the inner bottom bushings do not go all the way to the frame mounts. There's probably a 3/16" gap at least. I don't remember if the stock ones had a gap or not. I do have both spacers in also and still have gap.

2. the bottom outer aluminum spacers that go in the bushings and mount into the bearing carrier seem to be worn a fair amount. I went to buy new ones on Polaris123 and they were $20 each, so I'm having a local guy make me a new set much cheaper. Is it normal for them to be worn? The bushings were not that bad.

I sure hope JC Capri bushings hold up better although the I think the quad has seen a lot of use and abuse before I got it. I don't know why I never noticed those being so worn before.

Thanks!

Snorkeling, what to do with vent lines?

Like the title says, I'm starting my plans for snorkeling and I've been doing some reading around in the forums and checking out pics and and write ups but it recently just hit me I don't ever remember seeing or really hearing what gets done if anything to all the vent lines?

Reliability of Polaris ATVs generally

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.

2015 Sportsman 570 throttle delay/clutch issue?

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.

Future 570 Max owner

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.

Not a Polaris but help needed please

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?
