Hello All,

Been through a few PoPo ATVs and currently have a 2012 base 500 and a 2012 550XP. I'm to the point of looking to consolidate down to 1 machine.

Probably 80% of the miles I put on are working around the 10 acres we own. The other 20% is light trail riding or just going to my buddy's house.

I'm attracted to the X2 mainly because of Turf Mode. My wife is mildly interested in ATV riding so the rear seat might get some use.

The box is not a big deal for me as I came up with a way to quickly mount a 50 gallon heavy duty plastic tote to the back rack of my current ATVs. I can load this up with everything I need for a day of woodcutting with room to spare.

Turf Mode: Is this limited slip or if I break traction can I expect the tire to just continue to spin? I read that some guys just leave TM enabled for trail riding - I can imagine during a high speed turn the inner tire losing traction then abruptly grabbing once the tire sets back down (putting a good shock through the differential).

My concerns with the X2 include: more weight, longevity of the rear differential, stiffer rear suspension and of course the huge jump in cost.

If I didn't go with the X2, I'd probably go with the base 570 with EPS.


Regardless of which model I go with, it'll most likely be a 2018 model.

Thank you!

Hello. I just changed my belt out on my 500 and was giving the bike a few revs to insure everything was good. Not even a second later the clutch exploded nearly taking my arm off. I don’t know what kind of clutch I need of it. I can’t find the vin anywhere. Please help

So put on new carb and new correct Jets and everything is running great but leaks a little gas out bottom of carb only when running. I adjusted float by pushing down on float tab but still does this. Any ideas?

I have a 1997 Sportsman 500 and it starts right up and runs good but after 30-35 minutes, I have never timed it it just up and quits. First time it was out of fuel, so I thought nothing of it but it continues to do it.

I use it to plow snow and it takes about 35-45 minutes to plow it all off and I never quite get it done before it quits. Let it set 30 minutes or so and boom fires right off and runs.

I replaced the ignition coil with a brand new one and still does it.

Seems to me to be electrical related and something gets hot and it quits, once it cools life is good. Engine is full of oil, full of coolant.

Any ideas?

Installed a new cheap e-bay carb because slide in original carb would not rise. New carb is running great except that bike is idling too fast even with idle screw backed out all the way. Wondering if main jet could be too large, it is not marked, or should I check to see where pilot screw is set. Not sure whether it is plugged or not. I think it is supposed to be backed out 2 5/8 turns from seated. Thanks, Hoot

Now that I have fixed the voltage issues, I need to replace all the bulbs. Does anyone know how to replace the bulbs in the low beams (two lights in the front brush guard). Wondering if I need to take the entire reflective backing out of the housing to get to the bulbs. Any bulb number would be great.

Thanks

Was in a dealership checking out atv’s and Just happened to see a used 2013 camo 1000 XMR Outlander in amazing condition, I thought at first glance it was brand new! It looked so bad ass I couldn’t resist and came home with it! I’ve added the passenger seat with the back cargo box and just put on the Yoshimura slip on, love that sound! I’ve had it about 2 months now and I love it, but with the warmer weather coming should I get some type of fuel pack or tuner for the pipe, I’m hearing off this site that this ATV runs pretty hot? Also looks like acs has been disconnected and I’m seeing a set of 4 piggy back Elka shocks which a couple people from this site said should be a bonus and a step up from stock suspension, just not sure what stage they are! I’ll add a picture of them just in case anyone might have the same ones! Great forum lots of good reads, see ya on the trails!:-)
