It seems manufacturers are going toward less maintaince. I know Can-Am are saying no service due for 1st year at all. I was just on Polaris site and saw their new recommendations. At break in the only oil they say to change is engine oil. Trans fluid is at 1 year. Gear case oil only check at 36 months. I think it’s crazy to not change all oils at break in. Why do you think it’s heading in this direction? Do you think customers complain about to much maintaince?

It idles quietly, revving it up is loud. In a way, I think it is as loud as our 3600 rpm generator.
Car engines seem to manage the noise lower, not sure about motorcycles. I know some people like it louder.

I did find this here.

And here, they made it real quiet using a car muffler.

Does anyone know if a company makes these for the sportsman 1000?

Got the first ride in on my 19' Renegade 1000R. The bike is a blast. The suspension really soaked up a lot of the roots and bumps. The power is amazing. I do wish it had power steering for the kickback I sometimes I get in the bars but I just got spoiled to that when I had my polaris. I love this thing!

Pick up a 2001 Polaris 500 scrambler last year and I noticed that my handle bars are crooked when going down the road. I checked the alignment of the 4 wheels and they are spot on straight. Is there an adjustment for the steering column besides the tie rods? It looks like one tie rod would be too far in and the other side too far out to correct the issue. Thanks in advance

I was wondering why Polaris decided to stop making the Polaris Scrambler xp 1000 for 2019. Does that make those of us who have them charge a little more for the ones we already have if we are going to trade. I dont want to sell the one I have was just wondering about the resale value?

I am thinking of unscrewing it and replacing with a 45* type.
Anyone else have trouble with this one?
What size are these, and are they metric?
for a 2001 Sportsman 500

Bought a 2019 Outlander XT 650 and with the weather ranging between -5 to -10 Celsius in Nova Scotia already I am adding a set of hand and thumb warmers. Wanted to add the Symtec Heat Demon 215047's but I have the XT package and the hand guards run the full length of the handlebars on the 2019 XT's. Just wondering if anyone added them and if there was room or not or would I have to go to the BRP ones, which also look they would be tight for room. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also does anyone know if there are any LinQ adapters that could be added to the front rack for attaching a shockproof bluetooth speaker to somehow. Have the handlebar mount for it but I am in the same boat again with my current setup. Not a big issue but have one I would take on the occasional trip. Attached a pic of the handlebars. Thanks
