So I got the full set on a black Friday deal, went to install today and run into the rivet issue for the foot well side pieces, who the hell has a rivet gun? Can anybody point me in the direction of a decent one they have used?

I read all about guys having all kinds of trouble with these things.

Also I have a front hitch reciever on mine, it looks like I wont be able to use it, has anyone else installed the front plate with a front hitch reciever?

Giving my 2001 500 Sportsman a valve adjustment. First, it’s due. Second, hoping it’s solves my decompression lock up problem. Directions I found state to remove the gas tank. I’m not able to find directions as to what needs to be removed to get that point. I’m trying to avoid unneeded removal. I have the side panels off and can see both sides of the valve cover but can’t get my hands in to remove the valve cover, much less a feeler gauge. Does. The front rack need to come off to get the shroud surrounding the gas tank off?

TIA

Can some with a 2019 Outlander 850 or 1000 tell me if there is some coolant
in the water pump tubing, mine have 700km and there is a little bit of coolant in the tube

I know if there is coolant in the tube it's because of the water pump seal, just want to know if it's somewhat "normal" because the engine is new

thanks!

My 2015 sportsman 570 Touring keeps dying after a little bit of riding and the engine light turns on. Then I can shut the key off and it starts right back up then it will go for a little but longer. I tried draining the tank and putting new gas in and that didnt help.

Bought used 2005 Sportsman 500 HO and speedo doesn’t work which is fine. We have had it parked outside for six months not covered. Lights worked then but now both high n low do not. I have it covered now but have had no luck getting them to work. Bulbs are fine. Appreciate any help and have come up empty on researching.

I just removed two broken off bolts from a Polaris ATV metal rack extender using a torch. Simply 4 bolts hold rack extender to the plastic rack . Cant heat it so, if they break too bad.
After separating the parts, broken bolt end stuck up a little. Heated end of broken bolt and welded on some metal to build it up higher. Then heated surrounding threaded area to red hot.
Let it cool down, then touched candle wax to give it some grease. Grab onto welded bolt using vice grips and wiggle back and forth till it started to move and they came out. MUCH easier and quicker than drilling and tapping. AND will grease it or anti seize to prevent from rusting again.

I needed to remove it as it needs paint. it is getting rusty and glad I did this. The base of the extender was rusting into the plastic rack. But the idiot assembler did not use grease or anti seize on the bolts, so now I need to buy 2 new bolts. They seem to be metric.

Rear rack likely has rusted bolts too.

My wifes 2015 570 eps efi 20 hours, had a eps light, I replaced battery because the fault code was low voltage to source, sprayed all connections, check relays and fuses, read where it might need to be reflashed, its 500 miles to the nearest dealer and Polaris was no help, I finally cleaned and sprayed the main connections to the computer, and it cleared the code, now the steering feels sluggish, not like my machine, but better than when the light was on any ideas why?
