ATV Newbie with 17 Sportsmen XP 1000 touring (798 lbs)

I know this post should be posted under the maintenance forum but I thinking this thread knows whats under my ATV.

Can anybody recommend Lift /Stand for my ATV? Or should I be lifting up the front and back separately to do maintenance like I do vehicles. I see ATV Lift /Stands everywhere and they appear to make sense. I need access in order to perform the standard owners manual maintenance. Thanks

My 2005 sportsman 500 lcd screen is hard to see in the center. If I angle the LCD screen then it becomes easier to read. I know there is a polarizer film on the lcd that wears out. However I took a little piece of polarizing film and held it up in front of the lcd and rotated it. The lcd went from light, to blacked out. But during the rotation, the graphics did not become easier to read. If it becomes easier to read at an angle, that has to mean the polarizer film is bad right? Is there a specific type of polarizer film for this lcd, or does the old one need to be removed in order for the new film to show a difference?

I have a 2019 450ho, utility sportsman. Is there a different engine temperature sensor ( lower temp) for when the radiator fan will turn on. I really don't like the 200 deg temp engagement. Huge temp swing, I would prefer a fan engagement, more around 185. Or has someone wired in a fan switch without hacking the harness!

I just bought a used super atv power steering kit off a totaled low mile 850hl. I’m going to be putting it on my 19 850sp. Has anyone installed one of these kits?

I am getting an error 168 3 over voltage reading on my 2018 570 Sportsman, I replaced the Voltage regulator and have checked all wiring for shorts and loose connections, I even ran stator wires in the same plastic wire protector as the rest of the wiring so it couldn't short to anything. I have have also swapped the battery with same symptoms. My concern is that even disconnecting the battery, the code remains without starting the machine. I believe there is or must be a way to reset the code internally because it doesn't appear disconnecting battery clears it.

Can someone confirm for me that the 2016 Sportsman 850 SP has a fan circuit breaker similar to previous years? If so, can you tell me where I can find it?

I was out riding today and the fan would not kick on at all and my machine overheated. Power to the fan is good and the fan runs if power is directly applied.

On my 2013, there was a 10A circuit breaker in the wiring harness that caused the same symptoms. I replaced that with a 20A circuit breaker and intended to do the same on my 2016 as I had a spare. However, I was unable to find it in the wiring harness of the 2016. I removed most of the wire loom and electrical tape, but no luck. I was on the trail when I tore in to it, so I didn't go too deep, but I wanted to ask before I spend any more time on it.

Thanks in advance!

Picked up this 2001 magnum with brakes not working, I thought "no worries I can sort that" pull the wheel off to see this. 🙄

Im looking for a battery and getting internet overload
I have it down to 2 that I believe will work for the 2015 850
Any opinions??
Does anyone have any info on the OEM-30AH,12 VOLT,AGM battery,Part number 4014609?
Polaris says it wil fit,I think it needs the bracket(BRKT-BATTERY,30AH [USED W/4011224])
but it looks bigger.I cant find any measurements for it

Was also looking at the Odyssey PC925L Battery. Read some guys on here use it but you need some Brackets
