Hey gang
I’m joining because the wife and I just ordered the 2019 570 sp touring and are excited to meet other enthusiasts.

Looking for original seat and back rest

Hey guys i'm back after a long break from the forum. Some of my old posts from many years ago mention this machine. A little background: It was my wife's grandfather's that he bought new, and when he passed away around 2010/2011, we were given it. It had not been running at the time for a long while.

I got it running around 2013, the carburetor needed cleaned, i needed a new battery, and i had to drain the old gas / varnish out of the tank. It fired up, and we had an entire summer of fun with it, trail riding, and using it around the house for small chores. Then life happened, new job, new house, and it sat in my grandparents' shop for about the last five years. Now i want to work on it again, i know it needs TLC and some small things like a new rear sprocket, and the front breaks aren't working, but with me knowing very little about 2 strokes and how they are supposed to sound, how does this motor sound to you?

My dad has offered to do a top end on it if it needs it, but said nothing about the bottom end. Does this motor sound healthy to you? I don't really know what it's supposed to sound like, i have much more experience working on 4 strokes.


Thanks guys!

2016 outty 1000 xtp , only owned it for roughly 3 weeks , soon as I got it , I thought it started kinda hard... It turns over fine .. but takes a few to many spins to get it to fire.... I got a batt tender hard wired to it . So I don't believe it's the batt .... It starts every time but some cycles seem longer than others and I'm just wondering if any one has had this happen ... Granted the weather rite now is almost always below freezing , but I've seicne put new 91 octane fuel in it and a can of seafoam , as the previous owner had let it set for a good six months ... She runs great and smooth , just a few to many cycles to fire ... Any thoughts ?

I have a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500. A year or so ago we got it running after replacing the kill switch. It ran great but after some use for a couple months it got a flat tire and for some reason we just forgot about it and it sat for some time. Before it sat i replaced the gas

cap, fuel filter, fuel pump, petcock, battery, starter relay, oil and oil filter. I recently went to start it and it started so quickly and without choke or throttle but the ATV wouldn't move till about 1/4 throttle and it wasn't really a smooth ride until 1/2 throttle. it also would bog

out randomly after you came to a stop and sounded like it was getting too much fuel. I cleaned the carb and adjusted the air/fuel screw to 1 3/4 turns out. I also messed with the idle and the throttle cable adjuster up on the handlebars. It's safe to say it now runs worse

than when i started working on it 2 days ago. It takes more effort to get started and bogs out idling after about 30 seconds. I tried adjusting the idle but every time i do it'll get to a sweet spot but after driving it down the driveway and back the idle will go up and down to

the point where i can't put it in gear because the gears will grind. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A friends 570 started running very poorly when he was halfway in water. No codes at all but it will idle and pop through intake then stall . If you give it throttle lo w it'll stumble and bog unless you pump the throttle to get it to rev fully on its own. When the engine is warm it will barely even do that. Fuel pressure is 33 at all times and the plug is new as well as the fuel. I've changed the tps and tried setting it at the recommended setting of which I can't remember exactly right now but I want to say either .68v or .86. When I start it the set voltage drops some though and its charging at 14v. I even unplugged the stator to see if it was causing the voltage drop while running. It also won't put out a full 5v coming out of the sensor at work. I think it was 2.9v at the most. I changed the injector because it was spraying poorly and I did a valve adjustment. No luck whatsoever and i'm tired of messing with it. We swapped the ecm to a rzr and the rzr ran just fine so I'm thinking the wiring harness is faulty but at this point I'm out of ideas. It acts like its not getting enough fuel.

Had it a few weeks now. Work a lot, and it was -15 ish for a few days, so I only have 5 or so miles on it. I've owned a 2010 sportsman 500, and a 2016 sportsman 1k that I traded on my rzr turbo, and eventually decided I needed another 4 wheeler to go with it...soo..here I am and so far she does not disappoint. Here's a pic on the trailer, and after tires. 28" Maxxzillas. Not sure what I want to do next, yet.... btw. The quick connect can am plow is totally awesome.
