Just bought a high miles sportsman 570

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 2014 Sportsman 570 with about 6700 miles on the original everything. The only known problem it had was a bad wheel bearing on the rear right side, it was a pretty easy fix. So far the machine starts right up, has good throttle response, doesn't make any weird noises, doesn't burn any oil or leak any fluids and generally seems pretty tight. I know the miles are high but the price was low and so was my budget. So my question is are there any known weak points in these machines? Anything that is the common first major repair that is needed? I have half a mind to just replace anything (within reason) that is known to be a weak link now before it goes. I am capable of rebuilding the whole engine but what I would like to do is fix any potential problems before that is necessary.

Thanks in advance.

Loud Clicking under load

Good Day,
I have 2016 Highlifter 850
I've noticed under load (Low Range, AWD mode), occasionally i will hear some loud clicking when pulling through some deep mud etc
Its a new machine to me, but has approx 600 miles on it. Other than that everything sounds normal.
Is this something that this front diff in this model of Polaris does?
Or perhaps an axle is starting to go?
Thanks
JP

Excessive Fuel Consumption 2005 Sportsman 400

I went out on a ride with my wife and son, after about 12 km in the bush I noticed I only had 1/2 of tank of gas left and I started with a full tank. I immediately headed for home.
What could be the cause of this?
I also noticed a breather hose sitting on the deck of my trailer, but I don't know from what machine it came from.
I pulled the belt housing off and it was extremely dirty with black dust, could a bad belt cause the fuel issue?


Any help would be appreciated.

EFI and check engine light came on

After a heavy rain where were riding. I started My ATV up and it sputtered a little no big deal. After riding it a bit the Red EFI light and check engine light came on. So I parked it for the night. The next morning when I started it no sputter so I road it for a good 30 minutes and no lights came on and road fine. Has this ever happened to anyone else and should I be concerned.
