I recently purchased a new 2016 Sportsman 570 in sage green. This is my first Polaris ATV, but so far I like it. I’ve been reading several posts and the information is great. I look forward to the reading and learning from others experience. I sold my Suzuki z400 a few years back and have missed it ever since. I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things and look forward to ATVing again.

Fast Trail Riding
What’s up everybody, sorry it’s not a Can am video this time but I finally got the chance to take the 700xx out for the first time this year last weekend and I figured I’d share a short video from the day. My brother came over with his 700xx (which I recently sold to him) so we figured we’d get a good workout in lol. Enjoy
New From Michigan
Hi Everyone. I am new to the forum and recently got my first ATV, a Sportsman 570. I took it through a local trail a couple times last weekend. It was a blast and didn’t seem that muddy until I tried to wash it. My thumb hasn’t been that sore since GTA3 came out. I had a problem with it stalling several times but have read many articles on this forum for advice and find it very helpful, so thanks.
I tried to post a picture but couldn’t get it to work.
Searching for parts for 05 sportsman 800
I had some bad luck. I had an accident pulling the quad on the trailer. Sad to say the quad is totaled, but I am looking to rebuild it all. I’m in need of everything from frame, hubs, axles, shocks, brake lever, plastics, racks… I need a lot lol so if anyone has any for sale please feel free and post what you have for sale.
Greasing Schedule/Pressure washing
How often do you guys grease your fittings? I seem to get suspension creaks and squeaks far too often. As soon as I grease them up the noises are gone. I find myself having to grease them almost once per week to quiet everything down. I use a pressure washer to clean my atv after almost every ride. Is it normal to have to grease so much or do you think the pressure washing is having an effect?
I ride maybe 25 miles per week.

01 scrambler 500 4×4
I have a 01 w/electrical issues and a 04 ho that’s wrecked. Does anyone know if I can steal all the eletrical off the 04 and switch it to the 01. The flywheel and stator are a 1/4 inch smaller ID. Everything else mounts the same. My real question is are the flywheels balanced to that particular engine or can they be swapped? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Grinding noise in my 2004 rancher
I have a 2004 400 Honda and when I going up hills I notice a grinding noise coming from the bike. Any ideas what can be causing it
Vin issues please help
So I picked up a 96 trailblazer for cheap. Needed some work and parts so I got that done. So I got it all ready to ride and can’t find a vin on it anywhere to get it registered. The tag under the seat is missing and the tag that’s supposed to be welded to the frame on the right by the shifter. I know it’s looking like it is stolen and if it is then I would understandably give it back to its rightful owner but I want to know if there is any other way to find out the vin so I can be sure that’s what it is. The only serial number I can find anywhere is on the shifter
