Hi Guys. Had some issues with my 2017 Polaris Sportsman 570.

After hours of “issue free” riding I felt I was losing power on the throttle for short periods and it would be fine again until it would do it more and more until eventually stalling. The check engine light popped up and the code on the screen showed 651-5. (to my understanding this has to do with fuel injector wiring). Within this my battery was unable to hold a steady charge and I was losing volts. I figured charging system and not having enough volts to run the injectors properly.
I had to boost it a few times and I could limp it home ( stalling a few times and getting low voltage ).
I brought it to dealer and explained the whole scenario and they said only issue they found was a damaged wire in the harness to the injectors and that the charging system was completely fine. Its ready for pick up and when I return home I will be able to get it and I will find out how she runs. I know this is their profession but it seems odd how one damaged wire in the harness would not allow the battery to keep charging while it is running.


Anyone experience this ? Thoughts ?

hey all so I have a 570 2 up. Plan on getting rid of it to get me a 850 or 1000. I find myself full throttling a lot on my 570, esp on climbs or up hills. I live in Colorado, so it could be elevation and I always weigh 230 lbs.

Is a 1000 really in aover kill? or would an 850 mbe more than enough power and speed and power is definitely good where i wont have to full throttle it.

Before anything....yes I know I tag a lot..just trying to get followers. just like to communicate with other people who share the same passion!!

ill just post some updates as I go on! feel free to send me your youtube as well!

Hello,

I have a 2010 525s and I'm very interestred in making it street legal. I live in Florida, where It's not legal register an Off Highway Use Only vehicle to be street legal. However, there is a company called DirtLegal.com who claims to be able to make it work along with some modifications on my part (blinkers, DOT tires). Has anyone ever heard of this before or know someone who has? I just dont want to get scammed.

Thanks,

Michael Pallos

1st off...thanks for having me!! I just purchased new to me Polaris ATV for the family!
2016 Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring

I am looking to buy tomorrow another 2014 Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring

The 2014 has a small issue..doesn't effect the bikes function (running wise) but the fuel gauge is flashing on the dash.
I've read a ton about this...Seems like a common problem for the Polaris bikes.
Should i run from this?? or is an easy fix?

I've looked around the interweb and can't seem to locate for sale the fuel sending unit for sale.

Any advice asap.... Supposed to go pick this bike up tomorrow!!

Thanks for your advice in advance!!

Have an '11 Griz 700 that hasn't been started in a year due to a dead batt. I'm about to put a new one in and crank her up.


Should I do anything to the engine to prep it for running after sitting for so long? I'm thinking in terms of pre-oiling parts that the oil would have long fallen away from. Would it be a stupid idea to use a turkey baster and put some engine oil into the spark plug hole? Crank it a couple times, replace the plug and then try to start it?


I'm afraid of rubbing metal parts together during the start before the oil pump gets everything lubed.
