Hi all - brand new to tinkering with this so please be merciless in treating me like a tool.

First, I think the hose I'm holding in the pic is off the air cleaner? It's completely detached. How do I reattach?

Also, one of the fuel lines leaks like crazy right at the clip/joint. Is it relatively easy to replace? Can I remove the entire front of the shell so I can get my hands in there?

Thanks for any advice.

I would be interested in hearing advice and stories from guys and gals who do a lot of winter quad riding. I realize that an atv is not a snowmobile, but apart from deep snow, there is no reason why we cannot run our atvs all winter.....am I right? as long as we use the right oil and let the engine warm up. In my climate I see a lot of folks running at -20 C (0 F)...and wander how cold can we go. Any long term maintenance or wear issues? My 2007 SPM 450 seems to start well and run fine.

Spent some time at my new local dealer yesterday. They have lined up inside:

2018 Sportsman 1k Red
2017 Sportsman 850 Red
2018 1k touring blue
2017 570 EPS touring white
2018 570 SP hunter edition camo
2017 570 EPS camo

Dealer rep and I spent a lot of time going back and forth sitting on the machines, comparing sitting positions, handbar positions, foot wells, standing ergos and finally at his suggestion, going from machine to machine pushing down on both the front and the rear to compare suspensions. We went back and forth, pushing hard and soft over and over. What I found really surprised me....and I think it surprised him too.

1. The SP 570 has the best overall cushion going down AND coming back up in both the front and rear of all the 570s. He said the first 570 SPs out were so stiff they simply would not sell. The new ones are really surprising. They do what you expect them to do if you are looking for a soft, plush, yet controlled ride. (In fact, it is better in plushness than even the 2018 1k and the 2017 850, more on that in a minute) I am not sure if this is due in part to the added weight of the front and rear brushguards, winch etc but it is really nice if a good ride is what you are after. My guess is they targeted the hunter on this model who is not going to be blasting trails and jumps but rather traveling long distances to get to the best hunting spots who will want a comfortable ride on those long hauls.

2. The 570 touring had a soft initial "down" in front but then went back up fast and without control. I can see how one might think they are a more plush ride than the XPs if you are going at low speed over small to moderate chatter. However, if you hit anything large they run out of travel fast. The back end is terrible...hard and stiff like a lumber wagon. It was so bad it completely eliminated any further discussion of the model from further discussion.

3. The 570 camo (non-sp) was the same in the front but not as bad in the rear as the touring. Neither were anywhere near the pleasing performance of the 570 SP. The dealer mentioned the strut version go through tires faster than the aarms because they are always moving in an arc. Since this is a rural ag area, they sell a lot of this version machine because of price and the lower maintenance with the simple platform. "Putting around the farm" they do fine he said. The farmers and ranchers like how durable they are for pushing cattle.

4. Are you ready for this? Both the 850 and the 1k were stiffer and firmer than the 570 SP. I guess that is what they call "sport" suspension tuning. Still much better than either the touring or regular 570 but defiantly "tighter". Another thing I noted with them sitting side by side. The tubing on the arced aarms is definitely larger than the straight arms on the 2017 850 (the 2018 850s have now gone to arched) The arched also have an extra cross brace on all the arms compared to the straight. We were unsure if this was to increase the strength of the new arms vs the old or was required to make the arched versions as strong as the straight versions. Our guess is the suspension is stiffer to take the high speed hits and jumps they anticipate riders putting these machine through. Based on what I saw with the 570 SP hunter edition, I can't help but wonder if the XP1000 hunter is tuned in a similar manner.

5. Now for the big surprise....the 2018 850 touring is more plush than either the 2017 850 or the 2018 1k in both front and rear! In fact, I would say the 570 SP and the 850 touring are very similar. Plush going down and coming back up with a consistent medium speed for both. I told the dealer if this machine came with arched aarms and the 3 mode throttle it would be my choice.

So there you have it....I would have not thought the results to be so but lined up side by side the differences became clear quickly. So now my big question (that neither he nor anyone else knows the answer to) is will the 2019 touring finally get the arched aarms and 3 way throttle?

In the meantime I will be seeking out find a 2018 1k hunter edition to see if that suspension matches the other 1ks or is closer to the 570 hunter.

Hope this is helpful.

I am new owner of 2017 Can Am outlander 570 . It's a fun machine and I look forward to lots of riding and use.

I have some work to do on it. I want to put a winch on it and front brush guard.

Anybody install the 10” light bar on front bumper? Wiring kit and switch looks to be all plug and play, but directions are worthless. Best place to mount the switch for best plug and play and so wiring will reach in front of radiator. Thanks

New to the forum and very impressed with it so far. I have been on many forums over the years and have found that there can be a lot of misinformation given out by so called experts. My first impression here is that there is less BS than most. I find this very encouraging and look forward to participating. I have learned over my 62 year life that if you do not know something, ask! And if you do not know the answer to a question then don't reply.

I just purchased my first Can Am, a 2018 Outlander Max 570 XT. So far I like it. I have previously owned Yamaha and Polaris atvs. I also ride motorcycles (Harley Heritage Softail) and am into classic and muscle cars (1956 Ford and 2007 Mustang GT). Always been a gear head!

As I said, I am 62 years old, retired, and live in northern NY. Thanks for letting me join this forum!

Now that winter is here, my bike will not see as much as action. It sits outside under a canopy, covered with a weather-resistent cover so its reasonably shielded from the elements. Temps go down into the upper teens. Should I be concerned with fuel stabilizer?

If so, what do you guys recommend?

Many of you know I owned and loved my 2016 Honda Rancher (SRA, EPS, DCT AUTO, 4x4). I put over 3300 miles on my Rancher, mostly on the forest roads and trails in my area.

I have been watching the Polaris Sportsman evolve for years, and the 570 has intrigued me. Mostly, it has disgusted me with how many reliability complaints I read online.

My new boss owns a 2014 Sportsman 570 with just over 1000 miles on it. This week he invited me to take it out any time I like.

Today I had my first experience on a Polaris Sportsman 570 EFI (non-EPS). I did a 38-mile loop through the rough country and rode all types of terrain, including: paved highway, rocky road, hills, straights, jumps, sandy washes, two-track, forest road, cross-country, etc.

These are my open/honest first impressions:
1. The Sportsman is WAY more powerful than the Rancher...like, in another league.
2. The Sportsman is far more comfortable at speed, and the engine does not sound/feel at all stressed running down the road even at 45-50 mph. Increase throttle pressure and it picks up more speed. My Rancher was running out of breath past say 43 mph, with a top speed of 50mph. This Sportsman is comfortable/capable beyond 50mph, and I hit 65 mph on several straights.
3. The Sportsman has superior suspension - at least in terms of ride and comfort. On the Sportsman I could sail through terrain that became challenging or too rough on the Rancher. Jumps land like a cushion on the 570.
4. The flat floorboards are more comfortable to me on the Sportsman, when compared to the raised pegs on the Rancher.
5. The standing position on the Sportsman is much better than on the Rancher.
6. Build quality feels superior on the Rancher, especially quality control. The Sportsman's plastics and bodywork rattle like crazy at slower speeds.
7. There is incredible power on tap with the Sportsman 570, but I learned quickly to treat the CVT transmission it like a turbo that has to spool up. If I want a hit of power to pull up the front tires or kick out the back end on a turn, I have to hit the throttle one full second before I want the power surge. This is opposite the Rancher with it's direct transmission that responds immediately to throttle input, but with less power.
8. When I got back from my ride, I felt less fatigued than I did after the same ride on the Rancher.

I will not get into all of the other details. I will point out that I am not trying to be negative about the Rancher, or sell the Sportsman. I am simply sharing my honest impressions from today's ride. I am not even addressing issues like reliability or resale or features. Those are long topics in and of themselves.
