Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, but not to Polaris Sportsman quads! I own a 2003 Sportsman 400 I purchased new in March 2003, and I am still riding it, and I just purchased a new 2016 Sportsman 570!
I really like the ’03, have not had any real problems with it, rode it hard, worked it hard, even crashed it hard, and it is still going strong! That was the major reason for my new purchase of the 2016 570, the long lasting, tough, durable, reliability of the 400 made me a fan!!
I am enjoying the 570, but the heat from the exhaust is literally baking my leg!
What can I do to cut the heat from the exhaust down drastically? Wrap the exhaust pipe with heat tape and add another layer of silver heat sheild under the plastic body side panel?
I live on a limited income, and can’t afford crazy expensive mods, so am looking for a good, fairly permanent solution, or fix for this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Ron Denning (with a baked right calf):)
