Hey all, just curious if anyone with a 17 570 has upgraded their clutches yet? if so what is a good set up, i do like to hit mud and i have went up a size in tires, i was reading that if you go bigger than a 26, then you should consider clutch upgrading to get the most to the wheels, any suggestions on where to look at some websites would help, also what kind of belts are you running, if im going in there i might as well upgrade from the stock belt as well

So long 6×6….
It is with much remorse that I report that my 6x6 is no longer with me :sad. Sadly, I had to sell my 6-wheeled beast to get into a sxs for the purpose of carrying family. She will be missed, :crying , my 3/4 ton fun.
Shovel Mount
I am doing some trail maintenance, and need to bring a shovel along when I ride. What do people recommend for mounts?
A chainsaw mount and branch clipper are also items that I can see needing to bring with me.

03 700 sportsman Headlight and speedo electrical problem
Hello,
I'm having some electrical problems when I turn on my lights. When I flip the switch on the handlebar all of the lights (including the speedo gauge) turn on normally but, after a couple of min. all of the lights on the machine shut off and then after a min or two the lights all come back on. This power outage seemingly confuses the speedo gauge as it displays a message saying the machine is off when it is in fact still running. My lights will continue to cycle on and off for the the entire time I have them selected on, it will also do this on the high beam. This makes night riding to be almost impossible and it is an annoying bug. Any help would be great. Thanks!

650 XT First ride impressions
Took it out on it's maiden voyage last weekend.
Things I noticed: The heat on the left leg, not a big deal. My 2004 Arctic Cat 650V2s do the same thing. I bet any V twin will do the same thing.
Interesting is that DW thought it was better than the ACs in this regard. I thought it was about the same, just lower on the leg. T I think the different perceptions is due to our different body types/measurements... So YMMV.
I did notice that the heat is noticeably less when using the performance key... Perhaps the AF mixture is richer when using that key?
The deluxe fairing and mirrors,, well the mirrors in spite of the difficult and rinky dink attachment system were surprisingly good. The shake was not an issue on decent roads, where they would be most needed. rough trails of course rendered them useless, but any of my past mirrors are that way too... And on such roads it is unlikely that they will be needed. I am still not convinced that they will last very long though, I will keep them as long as they hold up, just because they are doing a good job so far.
The ride with the fox podium shocks is very good. I will try it the way they are for spring Turkey. That will give me some idea if it needs heavier springs for the weight of me and my gear. Plan is to use the stock springs with the Foxes if needed, and go to the HD springs if even more capacity is needed.
The mode button on the display is loose. It appears that the plastic trim that holds it all together came loose. I will look into this, but think it just needs reinstalled.
Love the wireless winch option.
And the 3000# warn is noticeably stronger than the 2500 Warns on the ACs.
The Baja light option is fantastic, as are the fairing LED projector lights.
The trunk stayed shut and dust free. I think it will be a nice feature.
Power is great! My ACs have about 41 HP, so going to 62 is quite a bump up. This will take some getting used to.
Mileage appears to be better than the ACs. It looks like I will have the same range with a smaller tank. Win win.
This was the main reason I did not go with a bigger motor. Decent power and longer range beats big power and shorter range for hunting purposes.
Love the fuel injection. Colds starts are a breeze.
The parking brakes gets tighter or looser depending on temperture. Not a big deal with the tranny park function, but the ACs don't do this.... But they don't have a tranny park either.
I like the rear trailing arm setup. With the ACs, when I strap them on to my quad rack, the tires spread apart taking up more room on the rack as the suspension compresses. This makes a tight fit even worse. The Outlander track width stays the same all thru it's travel. I like that a lot. Any handling benefits are an additional bonus.
Thats about it for now. I think she will be a keeper.

Has any body has expirence with offbrand primary clutchs.
I was looking at offbrand primary clutchs for my older sportsman and I was wondering if any body has had any luck with them before. I could get a used one for about 250 but I don't have that much money laying around. I was seeing the offbrand ones for 110 through 130. Any help would be appreciated.

2005 outlander 400
Trying to replace rear cv boot on right side. I was able to get shaft out, but having problems getting cv joints off. There appears to be retainer rings on, that are holding joint on that I cannot figure how to get off. Can anyone recommend a good service manual that would provide step by step instructions? Any help would be appreciated.
Hello from Arizona
Hello group,
Looking forward to researching and learning. We're interested in a new Polaris Sportsman 570. This would be our first ATV. Prior to that, (when I was a bit younger, I had a few dirt bikes). Right now, we have a Jeep Wrangler for some of our off road trips. But lately, I've been thinking of a ATV 2 Up. For Wifey and I to ride about. I have a Ford F-150 that I could haul a future ATV around in the bed.
Any rate, I plan to research here.
TIA for future suggestions and guidance.
regards,
-Jav
