So the other day I'm messing around on Craigslist and came across a pair of 2 year old ATV GURU bumpers for 300 bucks. I immediately grabbed my phone and picked them up the next day (paid 275.00). Theyre flawless and I am very happy. Now I really want a light bar but I cant figure out where to mount it. I would like it in front of the bumper so the "mesh" doesnt interfere with the light. But I'm afraid it'll stick out too far and look dumb. With the mesh covering the head lights it does cast a bit of a shadow. If i go behind the bumper I'm not sure I'll have a solid place to mount it and I'll have the same shadow. Thoughts?

I just picked up my 2017 sportsman 570 last week. So far everything is amazing with this machine.

Wondering what size are the bulbs for the high and low beams? Been searching for part numbers and can't find anything.

Next is there anything to do about the amount of heat that pours out the right side?

I just went on a week fishing trip with my 2016 sportsman 450 and I'm at home cleaning it up and I'm suppose to go out riding this weekend and I just noticed I'm at 29hrs! I just looked in the service manual and it says first service at 25hrs. I don't think I can get it into the dealer in time now. Do I just run it? Cancel plans this weekend? Will it void my warranty? Also I just checked the oil and it's still golden.

Hey everyone just got a new 4-wheeler tonight and the kid said his dad messed with the shifter linkage and he thinks that's what's wrong but my 2000 Sportsman 500 will not go into reverse at all. He said if you jam it really really hard it will go into reverse but I pulled fairly hard and decided I didn't want to yank it that hard. Can someone please give me some advice? I honestly cannot afford a shop.

Hey everyone, I'm brand new and just bought my first ATV tonight. It's a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 and the first thing I noticed when riding it is that it is very hard to steer.

The front tires are worn out to nearly drag slicks and I think it was pulling to the left.

I've never worked on a ATV but I do quite a bit of work on cars so I'd like to accomplish all repairs on my own.

If someone could point me in the right direction so I know where to start looking.

Thanks in advance!!

continues to crank but does not start. You can see gas in the filter coming out of the gas tank. Immediately after we stop it cranking, the fuel filter vibrates.

any idea?

New 570 with less than 20 hrs. Will I damage the electrical system by installing a full size car battery with lots of amps? Hope to add an inverts but don't want to cause issues. Any advice appreciated

I picked up a Magnum 330 basket case that had been partially taken apart. I flip bikes pretty often but this is my first Polaris. It has the famous polaris "Purple Camo" so I am keeping this one for my daughter. I haven't gotten the engine apart yet but the rod is seized to the crank so looks like it was probably ran low on oil. In the process of its death, the cylinder took a bit of a beating, but it's not unsalvageable. The piston got pretty scarred up so I will replace that and i figure it will need to go up a size.

Anyway when I went to look up parts for it I came across The following that looked like what I want.

• Set, Piston, .010 Inch/.25MM O/S [Incl. 4] - PN: 3090236

• Set, Piston, Ring, .010 Inch/.25MM O/S PN: 3087245

I am assuming that the .25MM Over Stock piston requires the .25mm over stock Rings, but I wanted to make sure the .25mm O/S rings were not for a stock piston.

I will measure the crank once I get it out and cleaned up but I was thinking of using the .025 or .5 O/S Rod bearings as I am not in love with the idea of buying a new crank.

I've built motors but, again this is the first Polaris, so I am open to any and all suggestions/advice. I tend to stick with OEM hard parts and I don't mind using a generic gasket set. If there are better options, lets hear em.
