This is my 1st new ATV. I purchased a 2017 Sportsman 570 EPS in indy RED Wednesday. I purchased my 1st used ATV last Fall a 500 Predator. Been on a couple of weekend trips and new I needed a 4x4. So far love the sportsman. Always had snowmobile and have a 2018 coming in another month or so.

See my video of taking delivery and getting ready to ride:

Hi there. I hope all is well in your Polaris world. I have a 2015 570 SP with 560 miles that has developed a loud clicking noise from the left rear when turning left. When driving straight or turning to the right, the noise seems to go away or greatly lessen. It starts just off center to left and gets louder the harder the left turn. I just noticed it over the weekend after riding about 50 miles at Tall Pines in western New York. The drivetrain has always been noisy and I brought it to the attention of my selling dealer when it was brand new. They told me it was the drive chain and it would lessen as the chain stretches and the tensioner moves to the next notch. The noise now seems like the worsening of the original noise but I can be sure. Im in the automotive service business and I would guess it could be a cv joint but Im wondering on why a rear joint would be making noise only when turning??? Any thoughts is greatly appreciated!!!

Came on today after a ride. It is idling around 1700 rpm, won't shift as a result. Cel disappeared today but problems did not. Im not sure how to check codes on this model either. Any suggestions on common causes for this problem? Sounds like a harness short off the top of my head but without a code I don't know where to start.

Hey y'all, On my 2000 Magnum 500 I polished the speedometer lens because it was hard to see through, Now that i can see i noticed that the mileage is very dim you can hardly see it. Is there a way to get it brighter?Maybe the led's are wore out? Also' when i shift from neutral to any gear it grinds and clunks hard. The idle speed is correct and Im at a dead stop whenever i shift. The linkage is also adjusted correctly.I bought this used and i don't have a owners or service manual, so any help will be appreciated.

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.
