Deferred Satisfaction

After much debate, internet research, quote gathering, going around in the wrong town looking for machines I pulled the trigger and purchased a new 2016 Sportsman 570 EPS.

So I live in San Diego and have a house outside of Cascade, Idaho. The unit is for Idaho. So I was trying to find various models to look at here in SD which, as it turns out is not that easy as most of the dealers here specialize in go super-fast types for desert riding. Was comparing the Yamaha Kodiak against the Polaris and decided on the Polaris as the machine that would be wife friendly (enough) if she chooses to ride it, comfortable enough for the teenagers, if i let them ride it, and priced more reasonably than the Yamaha, and will be well taken care of and generally fairly gently and occasionally utilized.

So now to the purchase. Sourced all the dealers in Boise and the local dealer near McCall. Dealer near McCall out the gate had the best price, located a unit from another dealership, and will deliver to the house, no extra charge. I don’t have a trailer to move it. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

All bought and paid for over the phone, just have to wait until I’m at the Idaho house to take delivery in 2 weeks. Oh yeah, have to get insurance and an OHV sticker to make if fully legal.

Very excited and looking forward to my first ride. All’s i’ve got now are a big credit card bill and a couple of pictures. Sort of like my other internet experiences <—joke.

I am not mechanically inclined so the thought of spending my limited vacation time fixing stuff is a non-starter so really planning on this unit to be super reliable. Have read the threads on break-in procedures etc. Can’t wait for that time to expire and then move on to the great fun.

2016 outlander 650 xt rough idle and lack of power on cold starts

I purchased my 650 a few weeks ago and love it, but I am having problems, after I let it sit over night / few hours. I start it up after its been sitting and try to take off and it will either stall or have no power till it warms up, takes a few minutes to warm up and them runs fine. Its only been as cold as 60 out , so not cold at all , it gets well below zero in the winter so I’m worried about that. Only 200 miles and 14 hours . Need some advice.

2007 Sportsman 500 EFI charging issue

Guys,

Things going along fine through the winter after I located a loose battery connection. Was very nice to have it go when needed. Battery was 1 year old.

Then … started one day … twice … and then got the dreaded "click"

Put it on a battery tender overnight and it started the next day … once.

Pulled the battery and had it tested. Replaced it. Battery was from Advance Auto. Just under 1 year old. Originally cost $104 … and had a 3 month warranty … good grief!

Now have same issue. The charging circuit must be screwed up. Can someone give me an overview of how this works on the ATV? What voltage should I expect while the machine is idling that would indicate it is charging?

Recommendations?

Thank you!!!
