Hey guys, I need some advice here...

I have a 2008 Sportsman X2 700 EFI with stock Polaris steel wheels and Carlisle 489 tires. I picked up a set of brand new Polaris steel wheels (pull-offs from a 2016 or later Sportsman) for cheap off Craigslist. I thought I was good to go, so I ordered up a set of Kenda Bear Claw HTRs and had them mounted on my new wheels. Well, today when I went to mount them up, the wheels don't fit my hubs. Apparently Polaris changed the hub size somewhere along the way and now the center hole in the stock steel wheels is smaller than mine. The bolt pattern seems to match, but these new wheels just aren't going to mount to my hubs.

So I'm looking for advice on how to solve this problem. Here's my options as I see them now. If anybody has any better ideas, lemme know.

Option 1: Put new tires on old stock wheels. Only problem is that my front left wheel is dented pretty good (previous owner hit a big rock) and it doesn't hold air more than a few days. Can a wheel like this be repaired? Maybe I just pick up a new front wheel...

Option 2: Buy a set of new ITP Delta Steel wheels and get my new tires swapped over and go on with life!

Option 3: Would a set of wheel spacers make these new wheels fit my hubs?

Option 4: Will a set of wheel hubs from the new Sportsmans bolt up to my machine?

I've attached some pictures that may help. Lemme know what you guys would recommend. Thanks!

2002 Sportsman 500 ho, needing to replace Front Left/right assembly. What years are interchangeable?

Hey y’all,

I’m wondering how everyone mounts their license plates to the back of your 570’s. I have the Polaris rear brush guard. I’m looking to affix the plate somehow without drilling holes in the rear storage anywhere. Any tips or ideas?

Thanks

Is there a proper way to adjust the choke on a 98 Sportsman 400 2 stroke ? It does not start when cold without a shot of starting fluid with or without choke but once it starts it runs great and restarts every time - I do not see much difference if the choke is on or off

Well I’m one of those typical Yamaha guys that litteraly bleeds blue unfortunately for me Yamaha doesnt make 1000Cc ATV model so I decided to sell my 2017 grizzly 700 for a 2016 Can Am Renegade 1000 XMR I purchased the bike used well barely used the atv is basically new the exhausted hadn’t even been heated to the point where it changes color to that mud soaked dirt rust color haha i have had it for a month or so but took it for its first real ride today and MAN is this thing a beast I love the power and the insane things it glides through. One thing I noticed and maybe you guys out there in the can am world can help I do here what I believe is clutch noise sometimes knocking after I hit the throttle or throttle out into a down hill idle can an let me know do the xmrs have a little more play to allow for the crazy power etc anyone else experiencing these noises

Does anyone know if they make different footrests, for running taller tires??

I have attached a video of my clutch engaging it seems to make a knocking I hear it alot while riding I thought it might have been a drive issue but there doesn’t seem to be any large amounts of play in all my joints any help would be appreciated thank you

Just installed a set of 2018 Defender Max Lonestar wheels and tires on this thing. What do you think, will I be ok? 27 front and 28 rear. Thoughts? Looks pretty badass.

So I was looking at replacing the bushings in my rear control arms and was curious if anyone makes aftermarket arms . I was looking at a set of the arched front arms(give ya 1.5” of clearance ) and now I’m wondering what everyone does for the rears. I have a 07 sportsman 800 picked it up used earlier this year and the left rear bushings seam to be warn now so I want to change them but thought maybe I could do a better set of lower arms while I’m taking it all apart. Anyone have any good arms to use or where to go? Thanks for the info :grin
