2005 500 overheating light immidiatly comes on

I just recently replaced my fan. Have put about 50 miles on it since. Now when I turn the key to power up the bike the hot light comes on. I unplug the connection to the thermistor sensor and the fan does not kick on. I unscrewed the thermistor to clean it and antifreeze shot out. Is that normal? What steps should I take next. I guess I need to get power to the fan to make sure it still works.

Winch Install

Just completed Superwinch LT3500 install. Eliminated Superwinch rocker switch and used existing wiring with purchased OEM winch switch. Since I wasn’t sure which wire was in or out for contactor I tried it one way and when pressing “IN” on switch made cable go out. So I switched wires on contactor thinking this would resolve but when I tried it would only trip waterproof breaker I installed. So I switched wires back and it works, just not as switch should. I thought flipping switch wires to contactor would determine this function.

15 800 xmr seat sucks

Can anyone recommend something to make this seat more durable? Is there one made better? Mine is seriously weak at the forward in and flimsy. I just got that machine and compared the seat to my dad's 2001 Polaris seat and it's 100x built better !!! Unreal poor quality on this seat dang.

2018 570 question

Hola group,

just a quick question. I understand that the width of a 570 is approximately 48". Just enough to fit into the box of a pickup truck.

What is the width of the inner wheel to inner wheel? 35-40"? I'm just wondering if there's enough space to slide some loading ramp down between the tires, once the ATV is loaded onto a pickup truck.

TIA,

New to Forum, Hello all!!

New to these parts, currently in process of looking around to purchase new or used Sportsman. Looking between 500-700cc. Really leaning toward buying new 2018 570 but also been checking into a 2011 550 in mint condition but has just over 5k on it.

2012 850XP Shop Manual

Hi all, I have a 2012 Sportsman 850XP EPS and was trying to see if anybody has a pdf of the shop/ service manual for it. I have a service manual for a 2009 850, is the 2012 manual very different, and if so, does anybody know what is different?
Thanks in advance!

Accessories for a 450 and an 850 Touring

Newbie poster here, appreciate any advice in advance.

Just purchased a 2018 base 450 HO and a 2018 850 SP Touring. Have $250 in accessories credit on both machines, but can't combine the credits. I was just going to buy a winch for the 850 and be done with it but I can only use one voucher towards that. So, what are some good, must have, recommended accessories for these machines. My 12 year old son will ride the 450 and the 850 is the wife and I. Mostly easy trails, nothing crazy. No plowing or work use, no hunting use, just recreational riding. I am probably going with a 3500 lb winch on the 850 and will pay the difference. What about the other machine? Was gonna throw hand guards on both, but those are cheap. Thanks for the help!
