whos in , and when can we get out ???? we got to get at least 1 good all day street cruze this season !!!!!! :grin

I have a 5x9 utility trailer and need to go pick up a new 2019 Polaris Ranger 500. The specs listed on the website for a 500 is 110" long by 58" wide.

My 5x9 trailer is 110" long (OK) by 4'9" (or 57") wide. So that would be 1" too narrow between the wall. So my question to the group. Does anyone have a 500 and can tell me how flexible or liberal the website's listing of a 58" width is? Sometimes an inch between two doors or hard fenders are a bit less flexible than maybe a conservative website listing between the tires when really flat and having an extra inch of play for their conservative purposes. So thought I'd check and see if I need to go rent something bigger over 1", or if it's worth driving out my trailer out 30 miles to see if it works. Thanks

I'm looking at the EPI Sport Utility 0-3000 Kits for 2015 570 x2. I'm just torn between the kit for stock tires or the kit for 27-28" tires. Going by tire size, I would say I should go with the stock tire kit since it's not a 27" or larger tire. I do know the Kendas run heavy and a bit over 26" so that makes me think the 27-28" kit would be better. Anyone here have any direct input?

Please don't reply with "I didn't think my 570 needed one" or "contact Ryan at EVS." Both of those are valid opinions, I'm just looking for something more specific to the EPI kits.

Hi all, not new to the atv world, owned 20 different sport quads since 86. Not bragging, just a lot of years of great riding! This Polaris is my 2nd 4x4, just sold 1st one, new KQ 750, Only rode it a few times, and wasn't the right fit for me, rolled over on me breaking a few ribs, this spring! way too top heavy in my mind, roly poly kind of machine! I'm very pleased with this Sportsman, reminds me more of a sport quad, w/ lower profile, but much easier/comfortable to ride!

Been riding camping around St Helen, Rose City, Mio areas. Our first trip/ride/camp, and many afterwards at Ambrose lk., then Mac lk. many times, Even camped out in the woods, many more times! yet recently for the past 5 yrs at St Helens campground....our favorite as of now! Great memories over the years, with kids, family, and friends. Never rode alone, too dangerous, I prefer experiencing the trip with others....definitely not a loner. I'll be like many others already have, asking a bunch of dumb, stupid, overly brought up questions soon! You've been warned lol Got a lot to learn about 4x4's. Thanks for the invite:wave: Steve Grinke

Before I hit the trails with my new 850 is there anything I should do to it. On my other past atv’s I always di-elec greased all connectors.

Just purchased a new 2019 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP. Having owned Yamaha Atv’s all my life last one being an 04 grizzly 660, sold it back in 2014.

My cousin has a 2007 Polaris Hawkeye that he just got out of storage. It's been in storage for a while and won't start. When he got it out of storage, we noticed a fuel line hanging off to the side. It has a fuel filter attached to it. We've looked all over and can't figure out where the line is suppose to go. Everything appears to be connected. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have a 2004.5 sportsman 500 HO. The LCD screen went out, and I am looking for a new gauge. Somehow, they are nearly 300.00 for a 15 year old machine. Is there anything special about this gauge? Without the gauge, does 4x4, fans, lights, and everything else still work, or do some of the machines features rely on the gauge?

If there is nothing special about the OEM gauge, then an aftermarket gauge should be fine I would think. Has anyone found an aftermarket gauge that works with this machine?
