2018 Sportsman 570 EPS Warning Lights.

Very long story, short version. New machine, 40 miles. Never rode hard (i'm 65), never pressure washed, just around house work and trips to deer stand. Working around house, EPS light came on, followed by engine light, triangle lights. Shut down, checked everything. Restart, lights off. Shortly, same thing, happened several more times. EPS works fine, all temps and levels ok, just lights. Hauled to dealer, machine 9 months old, w/6 mons warranty (of course). Dealer says communication problem can't find issue, may just send it home to ride with lights on...uh, no! Now saying new EPS unit or complete wiring harness, $1200-$1800 plus labor! They say Polaris is good about helping with parts, if i'll cover labor. Again, don't think so. If machine needs new EPS or wiring harness, I took it from dealership WITH those issues. Still no word on final outcome, been there a month. Ideas or suggestions?

Winch and winch mount plate questions

On the wife’s 2016 sportsman 450ho I purchased the factory Polaris 2500lbs winch kit when I bought the ATV. Well last weekend the winch fried and is in need of replacement. But I don’t want to replace with the same winch being how short the first one lasted. My question is can I mount a equivalent warn 2500lbs winch in its place or do I need to get another mounting plate for it.

2004 Sportsman 500 HO: No grease fittings on suspension bushings

I recently bought a 2004 Sportsman 500, and am starting restoration work on it. I noticed there are no grease fittings on any of the suspension connection points. All of my other IRS Polaris ATVs have them (2001 and older models). Is it worth drilling into the A-Arms and installing grease fittings, or did Polaris accurately determine that grease in those joints doesn't add much in terms of durability?
