Polaris 570 EPS Stock Tires

I am looking at making my first ATV purchase with a 2018 Polaris 570 EPS model. My question is are the standard stock tires going to work fine for snow plowing or should I spend the extra money up front to get upgraded tires?

I am not much of a trail guy, so it will just be used for pushing some snow and utility work around the farm.

Any other add-on or upgrades you all would recommend? Hand warmers, etc?

Thanks!

2013 G2 frame vs 2018 frame (Outlander)

Hi guys, I have a 2013 outlander 500 non-dps, does anybody know by chance if the OEM BRP full aluminum skidplates will bolt on in the same fashion to a 2018 outlander 1000 XT? rear trailing arms, front a-arms, front bash plate and full body plate? I couldn't really tell by looking under the two of them it was hard. Want to know if I should take the set off and keep them for my new bike or sell them with the 500.

Thank you!!!

2014 Scrambler 1000 Burning Oil Help

Posting for a friend who recently purchased a 2014 Polaris Scramber 1000. Machine appeared mint with less then 300 miles and 30 hours. Took the machine trail riding and it’s burning oil. Rode around 75 miles and was a quart low. Not burning out of the pipes but did have a little oil residue in air box. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... it’s probably a far shot but would Polaris do anything with this due to machine having extremely low miles & hours and now oil burning issues?

Thanks in advance for any imput!

02 sportsman 700 cam

What is the easiest way to tell if you have a worn cam on 2002 Sportsman 700? It runs fine up to mid rpm range then bogs and if I hold my hand in front of carb without air cleaner I get some gas blowing out of the carb when it bogs. Been thru carb, new fuel pump, new plugs and compression is 150 psi on each cylinder. Would a weak valve spring cause this?

DS 90 clutch belt problems

So my son's belt exploded on the dunes. When looking at the primary and secondary both sheaves on the inside have belt belt melted on them but nothing on the outside. This makes little sense to me. The quad was driving perfect when it just stopped. The belt only had about 5 hours on it at the most.

On the primary drive the hot belt melted the rollers flat on one side and melted the bumpers on it as well. The only clutch modification is the 1,500 RPM spring assembly for the secondary.

I am at a loss as to why the belt would melt on one side of the sheaves and not the other. I was hoping for answers before I put it all back together with a new belt.

Polaris sportsman 500 metal in oil

Long story short, I bought a 2004 sportsman 500, with a botched top end job. So I bored a factory cylinder, and oversized piston. When I had it apart I noticed the connecting rod had up/down play. So I split the case and replaced the crank with a good used crank off of eBay. Anyway, I get it all together and noticed I was getting metal in the oil. Took it back apart, and found the used crankshaft was missing the washer off the side (excess endplay, and I also replaced the timing chain as a precaution. Anyway, I'm still getting a lil metal in the oil on the magnetic drain plug. It could be old, but I could swear I hear chain noise/chain rattling from the passenger side case. All the guides were good. Am I missing something here??
