I realize there is endless information on this and I have read a lot of posts and peoples opinions. I think I have narrowed it down to three tires that I am choosing between. I have a 2014 Polaris sportsman 400 pretty much stock and will use it mainly for hunting and around the property.
I have 25x8-12 & 25x10-12 tire size.
The three options are:

-GBC Grim Reapers
- Kenda Bear Claws
- IBC Mudlites (insure which model)

Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks

Hi everyone I’ve got a Sportsman 570 SP -15 which runs well and hasn’t been used that extensively since I bought it new. I’ve carried out one original service and besides that only checking the oil levels, except the ones for front and rear transmission.

Now to my issue. A couple of days ago I put on snow chains and changed the gear to neutral and moved it by hand to be able to mount them.

After this I found a fluid stain about 4” in diameter under the front section of the ATV which won’t evaporate. Not exactly sure when it appeared though. The stain is clear, doesn’t smell and is somewhat viscous. All inspectable oil levels are okay except for the front and rear transmission which I haven’t been able to check since I need the right key and be able to lift the machine up.

I also found an unconnected nipple on the underside of the motor which seems to be leaking something, se pictures. Other than that I can’t find any leaks or wet spots on the motor or other mechanical parts on the vehicle.

So now I wonder how much of an issue this actually is? Can I run the machine without ruining it, what is the most plausible explanation, are these kind of leaks common, do I need to take it to the workshop straight away etc?

Sincerely,
Johan

Great site and a wealth of information.Honda owner all my life,bought my first polaris yesterday.Looking forward to trying it out today.Cheers from Nova Scotia

Front end of my newish to me 2004.5 polaris sportsman 600 needed a bit of work, had a bad ball joint, and the tires were leaning in a bad way.
Figured a couple ball joints, and some heavy duty springs were in order.

In my haste of ordering last minute christmas gifts on amazon I ordered factory polaris heavy rate front springs, instead of the epi springs that were labeled as fitting a 2004.
I've got the front end tore apart right now, and comparing the springs, the new ones are 2" longer then the factory ones.
Are these springs going to work or do I need to send em back? I wouldn't mind a bit of a lift to the bike, I plan on running 26" tires here soon on it, and I'm a very heavy rider at near 400# with my regular gear on board.

If I need to send em back it's no biggie either, I've gotta wait in a cv boot to show up, (accidently tore it when dissasembling), and a couple other odds and ends anyhow.

Thanks for any help!

I have a 2008 Polaris outlaw 525s

Running stock everything I’m in Denver so go from 5280-12000ft more in the 5280-8500 range for most part.
I don’t know what was on it before cause I bought it in Pieces I have it back together with stock stuff runs but bogs at throttle..
Had a 138main jet in it I can’t tell what other jets are

What jets do I run?
Anyone at altitude know ? All 3 jet sizes on this bike


And my accelerator pump isn’t spraying on throttle cleaned whole carb r&d floatboul and accelerator pump and new gasket kit why would it not be working

New here so I apologize if this has been answered before (I did search quite a bit).

I have a 2017 Sportsman XP 1000 base model.

I'm looking at upgrading wheels/tires, and trying to keep it as close to stock as possible, and not much wider than it already is. The dealership told me go 4+3, but through the digging so far, I get the feeling it will change the steering characteristics, increase overall width, and be getting covered in whatever I'm riding through. With the 5+2 I'm concerned with not having the necessary clearance inside.

It has the "body armor" the 16 ga steel tubing around it, so fender flares are not an option. (I'm in the NE so it's dense woods, rocky and swamps; old grizzly 700 plastics would take a beating rubbing up on trees/rocks - it has come in handy)

The setup I'd like:
wheels - Method Racing 405 beadlock wheels which'll be 14x7 for all four
tires- maxxis bighorns 26x9x14 in the front and 26x11x14 in the rear

It's really come down to 4+3 or 5+2?

Thank you in advance for your help. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Does anyone know the biggest (cca/ah) battery that will fit the explorer. If so what is it?

thanks in advance.

First day of riding with new track kit. Impressed with performance. Looking fwd to more snow to see full potential.

I just got a 2019 XMR 570, and noticed a couple of screw holes on the side of the radiator which I assume is to mount something. Has anyone had any luck finding a lightbar mount that will fit these holes to mount to the side of the radiator so the lightbar is about middle of the radiator?

I have an 05 can am rally. New drive pulley shaft and clean carb. This thing won't hardle move? Any suggestions? Help please
