How do ATV tires sizes work?

That is the subject of Episode 1 of our “You Asked, We Answered” series. This series is designed to answer the Internet’s most commonly searched ATV and UTV questions.

We turned to resident ATV expert Rick Sosebee to explain exactly how ATV tires sizes work

I have a 16 xmr 570. I was pulling a yard roller across my food plots yesterday in low gear at about 6mph. As the unit ran for about a half hour id stop to take a break let it idle and I noticed an audible fluctuation in the idle. I got back on and Everton g seemed fine. When I was done I went to back the roller under the deck and it really started to cut in and out. Unhooked the roller and ran up the road and couldn't get over 40....it kept cutting in and out. Went home let it cool off for about 10 15 mins, jumped on it and it ran perfectly fine. I had one bar of fuel left but I've ran it below that a couple of times with no issues. The machine only has 200 and some change miles on it. I had the fuel pump changed last fall under warranty, but I'm not throwing any codes now. Ideas?

Hi fellas,
I am ready to change the transmission lube in my 2017 850 Max. Has anyone here tried a heavier weight oil to quiet down the gear scream in one of these machines? My last Can-Am (2014 1000) made the same noise but nothing changed, noise wise, with OEM lube replacement at that time.
I ride a lot of pavement and at speeds 40-60 mph, right where the noise is loudest!
Mike

Hey all,

Long time Honda rider here. I've been riding hondas for the last 15 years, and the last 10 years I've been on an '07 Fourtrax 400FGA (Rancher). Decided I was tired of chiropractor visits after a 2 hour trail run and I needed a lot more power so it was time to upgrade. So the Honda is off to the lake for cottage duty and will make a great learner quad down the road.

I looked at what Honda had to offer but the latest 500 Rubicon just isn't enough of a power upgrade for me, and the 680 is a dinosaur. So I bought a low mile '13 Outlander 1000XT and I haven't looked back. This thing is amazing. I'd be happy with just fuel injection, power steering and IRS, 3 things my fourtrax didn't have, but the power and comfort is a huge added bonus. Even with a spring spacer lift and 28" silverbacks it still glides over ruts compared to my fourtrax, and the power is just insane. This one is an XT but with mods it's fairly similar to an XMR with the exception of the diffs. I like the XMR with all the factory upgrades but I absolutely hate the look of the Max chassis (not to offend any Max owners :grin) and I wanted the 1000 engine, so I decided to go the XT route and upgrade from there.

So far I've done a wild Boar rad relocate, rubberdown spacer lift, snorkel kit and a brand new superwinch. Just before purchase the previous owner did 28" silverbacks, a dalton clutch kit and I installed a new Dayco XTX belt when I got it even though the stock belt was probably fine.

Only complaints I have is the noisy ass clunky/whiny sounding CVT which should hopefully be fixed with a full primary/secondary clutch upgrade.

I'm also open to mod suggestions. What should I be doing/not be doing to this thing? Planning on eventually doing a QSC RevX primary and STM secondary when my funds replenish, I also wanna get a can am linq trunk box, and a few more odds and ends here and there. :wink

I have a 2017 Polaris 570 Touring and there is a plug in the rear left fender. I was wondering what it's too. I heard there a lot of plug and play things you can get for them as in the winch to switch already wired. Anyone know what that the plugs for. And if there is anymore accessory plugs that I should know of.

I have a 2005 sportsman 500 ho efi. Have a hard time finding parts on line, this model is not even on most drop down selections for make model year. I understand this machine came out in 2005.5. Should I be searching for 2006 efi parts?

Any one else with a 850 have a slight stumble off idle if u give it half or full throttle right away mine has done it since new I'm guessing a lean spot and hopefully a reflash or programmer could fix it. When I get time il pull the plastic off and check the air box and throttle bodies just to make sure everything is secure. I did check plugs while back didn't really see any brown color

The Polaris website is stating "NEW! Strong ductile steel pinion cover for a more durable front differential."

Appears they figured out they have a problem...wondering if one will be able to order the new version to retrofit the old.
