I have a friend who bought a new 570 last summer, hasn't ridden it much yet because of work, just over 50 miles. Anyway, she had a issue with the winch not spooling cable in, took it to the dealer, they fixed it, but called her and said her rear end was destroyed! She said she heard no noise, wasn't having any issues, they said you didn't hear it clicking? I haven't seen it yet, but sounds weird to me, she doesn't drive it fast because so far she's been riding it near our cabins and it a 15 MPH limit in the area. Of course it just out of warranty, telling her it going to cost $600 to fix. Anyone else had an issue with the rear diff?

Howdy,
I've just recently purchased a 2015 Can-AM MAX XT 650. Found a great deal on it and plan to learn all that I can about it and how to improve it from the forum. Located in Colorado where there are plenty of areas to enjoy it which I plan on very soon. While the machine is nearly new, having only 5 hours on the engine and 12 miles on it, I plan to research skid plates to install in the near future. I'll read the information available here and see what else is needed with time.

Been pretty arid around here so creek in our local riding spot really low, wanted to see if we could ride it to the river. Spent alot of time winching up and around deadfalls and such, then when river got within eyesight everything turned into a quegmire. At one point i was walking in shin deep water on sand to tie winch rope to a tree, and next step i sunk to my crotch...scared me actually. But we both ended up getting very stuck, winching to c if either of us could get free, just as the storm rolled in, so got rain wet and took shelter under bridge for a bit until it let up to come the miles back home by trail.

Hey guys!

New to to forum,

Trying to trade my 92 CB750 for a Yamaha Wolverine 4x4 or Polaris Scrambler 500, or other Polaris 4x4 4stroke.

Thanks for any help I get!! Tell your friends

After I get this traded, i'll probably be getting my YFZ450 up for trade/sale

Hey guys. I have a 98 Polaris Sportsman 500. I've been having performance issues for a while now…mostly bogging and recently what I want to say is some type of miss. Ive had to replace a few things over the couple of years since my dad sold it to me. It originally became mine when my dad bought a 700 but I ended up buying it when I moved far away. Today I decided I would adjust my valves. I know its supposed to be done every 100 hours or so and I'm afraid to even guess how many times im over that.

Anyways, as I was setting it to TDC, I noticed the recoil plug "T" was off compared to all of my other TDC markings. From looking at the pictures below, could anyone tell me if this is typical for the TDC markings. I did get my exhaust and intake valves set to .006, just wanted to make sure my timing isn't slightly off. Thanks.

I have a project going on in my garage so unfortunately my ATVs have been spending the last week outside.

Last night there was a heavy rain and after backing up my Outlander about 20ft and putting it in high it felt like there was no power being sent to the wheels. I had a feeling it was the CVT even though nothing sounded out of the norm. I took the cover off and water poured out. I'd estimate that it was about half way filled.

Any ideas how the water got in?

I'm just curious since I've never driven one how the control of the accelerator is over bumps

Anybody else have something like this happen?
2015 Sportsman 1000 - 7400 Miles, 360 Hours or so. Factory battery, all stock charging system.

I was riding at night this weekend, and had some weird electrical things going on. A couple of times, when I was doing about 45-50 MPH and had throttle on running about 6000 RPM or more, my headlights would cut out (I have the Polaris LED headlights that came on the scramblers- maybe they have an overvoltage safety?). I have the interactive digital display so I kept an eye on voltage when this happened, and saw voltage spike to 18-19 VDC from its normal 14.5 VDC at anything under 6000 rpm.

I assumed, and ordered a replacement voltage regulator which will arrive at the end of the week, but now I'm second guessing... wondering if anyones had a similar issue and if so what was the solution.

Or any suggestions to try before I replace the factory regulator?
