Did anyone else get this email? I own a 2014 570 Sportsman and knew it was a matter or time before they are recalled as well.

Recall A-17-04

Received an email from Polaris today saying there is a recall on my 2014 570. Just looked it up, has to do with fuel leaking into headlight pod possibly causing a fire.
I just put that heat shield for the fuel tank on a couple of weeks back, that's probably all they will do. It keeps the tank from getting too hot & pushing fuel up the vent.
Have to wait for the official letter in the mail before calling my dealer.

2014 polaris sportsman rear brake

I bled the rear brakes and the front brakes using dot 4 brake fluid.

the rear brake has always been crappy since it was new.

but now,

the rear brake will build pressure, and then loose pressure when pressing the pedal down.

the master cylinder and the thing it connects to is $80.

anyone replace that part with sucess?

or do you just use your front brake?

Why Does My Belt Keep Slipping?



Polaris Sportsman 500 owner struggling with belt performance

Why does my belt keep slipping? This is what one confused Polaris Sportsman 500 owner wants to know and he turned to the ATV AnswerMan for help.

Here is exactly what the reader asked the ATV AnswerMan, followed by his answer:

Quote:
I have a 2003 Polaris Sportsman 500 4×4 that grinds when putting it in gear. We took cover off clutch and the secondary clutch keeps turning when in neutral. So we looked and the belt wasn’t lined up, we noticed the belt had slipped over on the track of the clutch. We moved it over and it worked fine so we put it back together, road it and it slipped off again. Is it the belt or the clutch?
