570 Prices are coming down, finally….

Holy cow, Abernathy’s has base model 570’s for $4600- and EPS 570’s for $5600. Wish I could find that price out west…..

I thought I saw a Mfg rebate of $1000 on one website; has anyone seen that too?

Dealers must be getting pressure to gear up for 2017 models, but there aren’t too many (2016) bikes in stock where I live.

Ground Clearance

My new 2016 Sporstman Touring 850 SP has about 8" of ground clearance under the plate where the oil filter is. Is that normal? I am new to ATVs, well I have been around them and rode snowmobiles and dirt bikes my whole life, but this is the first ATV I have owned myself. I thought these newer machines had a lot better ground clearance than in the old days. And it does in the front and back. But in the middle, not so great…I was kind of surprised when I started dragging so easily. Normal? The specs list 11.25".

2000 Honda Rancher 350 TE Shift problem

Ok I am new to this and just looking for some help.

I recently purchased a 2000 Honda rancher 350 TE and I am having trouble with the shifting of the fourwheeler. When I turn the key on, no codes flash or anything, and you can shift through all gears with fourwheeler off, both up and down. Now when I start the thing and start running through the gears, if I don’t give it full throttle and just "putt" through the gears everything is fine, it will shift both up and down. but if I get into fourth gear and throttle wide open, it won’t allow me to shift into fifth, or back down into third, I have to turn the fourwheeler off and turn it back on and everything goes back to normal, it is not an intermittent problem, it does this every time. I read on one forum where someone said the angle sensor being bad would cause this, mine wasn’t coding bad, but I went ahead and changed it.

The speedometer does not work, and when the wire connectors are plugged together for the speedometer, my gear position doesn’t read, but if I unplug the speedometer, the gear position will read correctly.

I know this is a long shot but I am very frustrated and figure it cant hurt but to try and ask others with loads more knowledge then I have on these things..

Thank you all for taking the time to read my thread and any help would be greatly appreciated.
