2018 Sportsman 850

I bought a brand new Sportsman 850 sp this past spring. I changed oil and filter at 25 and 50 hrs. I check oil every couple times riding and have noticed the oil level ever so slightly creeping down. I do notice at idle, standing behind, there is a little smoke/smog coming from the muffler. Is this normal or is there a chance I’m burning oil? I use Polaris extreme duty oil. Thanks for any feedback

fucking lower control arm bolts

I have a 2011 sportsman 800 I bought used. the fourth time I had it out one of the front control arm bolts fell out. this caused the lower control arm to slide off the shaft when I was going about 40mph on a relatively smooth trail. the result of the control arm sliding backwards caused the tire to get bound up in the foot well locking the tire up and caused the four wheeler to pitch sideways, roll, and throw me. anyways I replaced the bolts with grade 8 and used red locktite. I ended up spending 4 hours in the emergency room and missing time from work. I will post pictures when I can.

2 stroke oil for cold weather.

So after a week in the 30 degree range i noticed my lucas 2 stroke oil was fairly thick in the resovoir on my trailboss 250. What oil should i use for cold weather with the oil injection? I will be using it all winter so i want to make sure i do not starve the motor of oil.

2004 Sportsman 600 Radiator Tabs Broken

Came back from a 120Km ride and half way in noticed the 2 radiator mounting tabs at the top of the radiator were cracked and one was completely broken off. Limped home for 60Km after some zip ties and duct tape held things together.

Before I drop some money on another radiator, has anyone had this happen before?

Quad only has 850Km and I want to make sure this isn't something that will happen again.

What other years does 2001 plow mount work on

I have a Polaris Glacier plow and mount from a 2001 Sportsman 500. The mount will not fit on a 2004, the front mounting bolts are different than the 2001. What other years will it work on? I think up till 2003 but not sure on the older versions before 2001. If anyone knows can you please post what years are the same mount as the 2001. Thanks much
