newbie here;
just bought an 09 polaris 550xp EPS. Haven't used it much yet, still waiting for snow :grin. I put a warn winch on then the 48" KFI plow. Took me a couple days of watchin TV, drinkin :beer: and smokin :joint: but I got er done. with the hand grip brush guards I had on it I couldn't find a windshield for it that I wouldn't have to cut up to get to fit so I put my inginuity to work, it works great. Been lurking here :nerd as it threw out it's first code yesterday and I wanted to know what it was :gruebel:, figured it out on this site. Also wanted to do maintanance on it and wasn't about to buy polaris oil, not gonna happen at that price! :shock: Found out what people are using on here. I found this site to be very informative and I appreciate that and the knowledge of people on here is outstanding :applaus: of course :postpic: so I posted.

I can’t find any aftermarket exhausts for the new 450, could I use a 570 exhaust?

Thanks ... greetings to all from Rimini. Happy owner of an Outlamder MAX 1000 LTD. :aniwheeler6:

I have a 07 Outlander 650. I am having issues with it lacking power. Seems to come and go. I can be half throttle and have no power then out of no where it kicks in and takes off. Almost like it's running on one cylinder. Any help would be appreciated.

Anybody in here ever deal with AAEN preformance before? I'm looking into there racing exaust and big bore kit for my 97 sportsman? Just wondering if anybody has gone through them and if it was worth the money.

Alright so I have an 08 outlander 800, vforcejohn primary with 2 way bearing and an stm secondary (brand new).. the bike shifts and operates fine when first started up and cold.. once some miles are put on and it’s warm it starts creeping and won’t shift out of gear until I turn it off.. idles fine, two way bearing spun free on the primary, the deflection is good and sits fine in the primary, trans fluid is fresh.. I don’t know what’s going on, it sounds like the primary or something in the clutch is growling.. now the crazy thing is if I let cool down again it will work fine for a little again.
I rode it awhile in low gear and it seamed to be better than when I rode it in high.. any ideas??

I bought a used outlander it just started not getting power to the cluster/starter. I wiggled the silionoid around and it started. So I bought a new starter silionoid thinking that was the problem. When I put it on none of the electronics would come on until I hit the start button. Every time I hit the start button It progressively got worse and now it’s not getting power to anything(gauge cluster, fuel pump, lights). Any ideas what it could be?

Not sure where to start my question. Presently my wife and I ride pretty tuff trails at very easy paces together. When on my own I ride these same trails but wick the pace up a bit. Myself I ride either my DRZ400(solo) or TW200 (when wife’s around) duel sport bikes. And her on her (still) nearly new 2016 Sportsman 450ho (570). Her ATV has less the 500kms on the clock mostly put on by myself as shortly after purchase my wife and I were blessed with the arrival of my daughter.

For a multitude of reasons (mostly past injuries of mine taking there toll on my abilities). The time has come to sell of at least one of my duel sport (Likely the DRz). And in anticipation of my now nearly 2 year old daughter being able to join us one day I’m contemplating selling the wife’s ATV as well in favour of a two up machine.

My questions are a choice between the players in the field. I’m looking at the Sportsman 570 SP touring, the Sportsman 850 SP touring, and a bit different the Honda Pioneer 500.

For me the 850 sounds fun because when the wife’s not around I love the DRZ for the insane pace it can keep on the trails AND would hope to get some of that feeling on four wheels once it’s gone. BUT I worry the size and power of it may scare off my wife as she has not ridden in two years now. I also worry of Polaris quality and reliability as even our low mileage 450 has been to the dealer once for warrenty repairs when the CVT case leaked in water it’s second time out.

The 570 would be essentially a slightly longer version of her current machine and be fine I’d imagine but not all that exciting for when I use it. And again quality and reliability remain a concern.

The Honda offers a much more carefree from reliability stand point. A bit more amenities in having a roof and a bit more security it a full roll cage and seat belts. The DCT means no more worry of belt slippage. BUT it’s goong to be slower than the wife’s 450 and lacks traction in the front with the open diff. It’s also a bit on the ugly side.

The parent in me is leaning towards the Honda for its roll cage alone and far better reliability record. while I think TRULY I want the 850 Sportsman. The wife is kinda indifferent but is really fond of her 450 (she loves the blue lol).

Regardless what I pick it will see far more use than wife’s current ride, as wife and I can use it togeather, or wife and daughter eventually, or even Myself and daughter, or even better yet the wife and daughter then me on the trusty old TW200(seriously other than deep deep mud or water this thing is UNSTOPPABLE).
