Help. Is there a way to limit speed or throttle?

Hello Everyone. I was wondering if there was a way to limit speed or throttle on my 03 Predator 500. I am going to be getting a second one for my friend to use, but convinced he'll hurt himself with free throttle control. Thanks for any help, it's appreciated!

Battery Question

I just picked up my new Sportsman 570 on Saturday. The battery had 11.3 volts when I picked it up. The salesman said that was normal and it would improve with use. On a tender it turns green at 11.7 on the gauge. While running the gauge reads 13.5-14. I always thought a good battery was around 12.5 ish. Should I ask for a new battery Or Is This Ok? The bike makes a few noises after it shut off. The noises sound electrical. Is this normal? 2017 570 EPS.

Thank You

Photos From My Second ATV Ride

I just got back from my second trail ride. What a great experience here in Colorado. My Arctic Cat friends and one of their friends loaded up and drove about 90 minutes from my place. This trail was in the Pike National Forest near the little town of Jefferson, Colorado. It was an "Jeep" trail meaning we share the trail with on highway vehicles. I was on the only Can Am I saw today. Here is a little photo log:

I got to ride with a 87 Honda Fourtrax 350. Same owner the last 30 years, he bought it new. A vintage ATV for sure:





We saw mountain goats along the trail. Looks like I caught one of them at a bad time. Embarrassing.




We could see the Breckenridge Ski area after we crossed Georgia Pass. There are a lot of ATV trails in this area.




We took a lunch break at the Wapiti Mine Company office ruins. My friends say the old building collapsed last winter. The snow can get 10' deep here in the winter. It wouldn't be a great place to spend the winter, but people did.




Last but not least, we met another family out on the trail. They were riding everything from side by sides to dirt bikes. All together there were 5 Arctic Cats there. Herding cats. They take a family vacation in this area and ride everyday for a week. We had a wonderful chit-chat about ATVs and all that we had seen. You meet the nicest people on an ATV.




My second trail ride was a great as my first. I can't wait until the next opportunity.

28in tires

Would putting 28in black water evos on my sportsman 850 make it really tippy climbing hills? I want 28in tires for the clearance but I also don't want to roll my Atv down a hill either. Any suggestions?

Gas gauge problem on 550 xp eps

Hi, I bought a 550 with low miles a little while ago and I noticed after a few big rides that the gauge never drop more than one square wich is about 8 liters. during my last ride I refueled and noticed on my way back that the gauge reads full at all time now. Is there any way to fix or diagnostic the problem without pulling the gas tank off? Looks like its a bitch to get to.


Another problem that was a first, I noticed my belt box was very hot from the riding and warm weather I switched to low gear going down a dirt road to ventilate the belt and hit the 60 kph cutoff, the high voltage warning lit up in the cluster. Any chance it is a one time occurrence and wont come again? Love the bike but every 4 ride I get a code or something...

2005 Sportsman 800 Rear Diff

My 05 800 sportsman rear differential is shot. Cant seem to find much info about it as far as rebuilds etc. a new one is about 1300 which is ridiculous. A used one from Ebay is + - 300 but i dont know what Im getting. Is there any info out there on what year and models have the same diff as mine because i can get a 2012 800 parts bike 2 hours away the diffs look the same but now sure havent seen in person. Any other online parts places to find a rear diff?
