Thinking about a 18-19 1000 TOURING instead of a XP 1000
The local dealer doesn't have one I can physically look at.
Will be used 99.9% as a single rider .The main reason Im looking at it is,,,
The touring 1000 has the same lights and storage as the 2015 850
The lights matter because I have the HERETIC Studios LED's and would love to keep them. The storage matters because thats what Im used,and I like the old box's better
Besides a 4" longer wheelbase I see its Around 3 inches longer but what gets me is How is it 8" higher (pretty sure thats what I was reading)and the touring has a 3" seat height difference then a 850 or 1000? Anyone know why? Is it the back seat they are referring to??Does the touring have the upgraded pinion cover? Arched A arms front and back? I read there used to be a storage box for the seat delete but is not sold anymore.Is that true?
Besides the measurements does the touring have all the upgrades the XP has
Any downsides besides tight trails ? Any regrets on getting a touring ?

Hello, new to the forum. Bought a 2016 Sportsman 850 SP and figured I should join here for questions. I was looking at my battery terminals trying to figure out a side problem with what I think is a newly installed winch draining my battery, and noticed a red fused connection between each terminal and a black fused connection between each terminal. I'm not an electrical minded person, so could someone just tell me what this is for? Not used to new atvs. Seems like so many connections. My older 2007 Arctic Cat 650 TRV that I'm used to doesn't have these same fused wires that run from each terminal post. I'm guessing negative and positive fused protection? Thanks in advance.

Lately my 4x4 sticks on. If I go to in reverse for just a split second it cuts right out but if I stop in 4x4 and switch it to 2x4 I'm still in 4 wheel (display shows 2). Fluids always changed and very clean not contamination in front diff. Any ideas?

Hello there
I have a 2010 Polaris Sportsman 550 with EPS,
i am having a hard time getting it running I have found the my ECU was no good so I’ve put a new one in then found stator to be no good so I put a new one in then my starter Selanoid was bad so that’s new, have found my voltage regulator was no good so that is new as well sooo.....
now when I turn the key I get no spark I don’t know what else can be the reason I don’t get spark
All input is appreciated

Are there any Sportsman nuts here who know the upgrades/changes/differences they made to the 2018 Sportsman 850 SP's? I can spot a few, but curious if anyone knows for sure. Even the dealers don't know haha.

2017 sportsman 570. 56 hours/ 450 miles.

I get to our cabin once a month to ride it. Muddy trails but I'm 52 and don't ride crazy.

Started it up on Thursday, said Lo 10.5 when I started it, eventually went back to DC 12.5.

Same thing Friday, but then voltage started going down and bike died after we'd been riding for few hours. Wouldn't start up.
Took a battery from a friend's 400 to get the 570 back to cabin. But even that one said LO 10.6.

Charged up original battery, put it back i, started up, and that one says LO 10.6. Didn't ride it again, but it started up fine next day to get out on trailer to take it home on Sunday, still saying LO 10.6.

Was going to take out to the dealer, just concerned they will charge an arm and a leg.

Worth replacing regulator, then stater or should I take it in?

Ordered a aftermarket ..would not run ..backfired through carburetor and seemed to affect timing...and simply would not idle....was sent a replacement..SAME PROBLEM..
Each time I replaced aftermarket with my original CDI .. unit is a 1997 Polaris 425 magnum 6x6..run well except times want idle or shut down with switch.
Any suggestions except buying Polaris CDI..?.....thanks for reading!
