Oil leak from drain tube
Hello, I'm new to ATVs and new to the forum.
I bought a new 2016 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS last year. I'm not a hardcore rider at all. I live on acreage and just use the machine for tooling around the property and odd jobs. I think I have 40 some miles on it.
I park it in my pole barn and have always placed cardboard underneath it. Lately I've noticed a leak (I believe oil) coming out of the one drain tube on the bottom of the machine. It's not gushing or anything, but is quite noticeable on the cardboard. And actually, it keeps leaking days after use. Like a week after I last used it, it was still leaking. I checked the oil and it seems like it's still full.
I've tried searching the net and of course there's a wide variety of responses, just thought I should come to the experts. Any help would be appreciated.

Thinking of getting some new tires
I'm supposed to go look at a set of Commander tires and wheels this afternoon. Tires are Big Horn 2.0 27/9/14 and 27/11/14 and are from a 2013. My 2013 Outlander currently has 26/9/12 and 26/11/12 tires any one for see any problems with this set up? Don't want to buy them if it means having problems of any sort.
Thanks for any input.

Tire advice-street legal in Mexico
Buenos días amigos:
I am retired and now living in southern Mexico. There have been suggestions made to me by members of this forum (but in a different section) about changing out our tires on our 2017 Outlander 1000. ATVs are street legal in Mexico. It has been suggest that I put on 8 ply hard surface tires. Not knowing anything about ATV tires, I have some questions. Hope you guys can clear some things up for me.
1) Hard surface tires, are they solid rubber or do they take air? If they take air, what would the tire pressure be?
2) Were do I get these tires? Keep in mind I'm in Mexico so I'll have to search out a place here, but what I'm asking is do I go to a normal tire shop or an ATV dealer/parts house? I haven't checked the Can Am shop in Puerto Vallarta yet.
3) Will I have to change rims?
It has been suggest from ATVers living here that it is just the front tires that need to changed. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any advice about this.

Poll: Do You Work on Your Own ATV or UTV?It’s easy to think that if money were no object, who would want to work on their own machine verses having the work done for them? The reality is, a good many folks want to know that the job was done right and for that reason, they won’t let anyone else work on their equipment. Which […] more
Front rack /rifle mounts?
Looking for a way to attract a rifle/bow mount to the front box without drilling the box.
Any front racks that will allow me to clamp on a rifle/bow mount?
If so please provide a link.
Thanks

Dies when riding
Don't hang me,I looked and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.i have a 2014 570.the battery was dead from sitting for a little bit so I put the jump pack on it to get it going quick.problem I'm having is that it will start right up and run ,but once I start to it will die on me.used jump pack again and had same results. No lights were running nor was the winch being used. Could it just be a bad battery or something else?
