I just bought this quad from Craigslist, so I have limited history. The ATV starts up and runs fine- except it wont go! I did a complete oil and filter change, inspected the linkage, and cleaned the carburetor. The idle seems low, and gear shifter lights are displayed when changing the gear. You can push the ATV in all gears, the secondary is always moving and the primary doesnt really stop spinning before it stalls. There is a mild clicking sound if you really press the shifter into drive HIGH. The belt also looks fine.

Any help would be great, please see the video of the transmission. Here is a youtube link to the ATV running:

I am writing to ask for your help with an important issue that effects anyone who enjoys the off highway vehicle trails in Uwharrie National Forest. I am the Media Director, Administrator for Friends of Uwharrie, a non-profit organization that helps facilitate volunteers and funding of this public trail system.

In the past few years leading to present day, we’ve seen a big rise in the number of ATV/Dirt bike riders on our trail system which is both a positive and a negative. Myself, I ride a Honda 250 and wheel full sized Land Cruisers on this trail system.

We are having problems with getting all user groups to respect the trail system and the rules that must be followed in order to keep this system open. As with Tellico Plains in Tennessee, our trail system is now in danger of closure due to environmental impact. I am asking you to educate your groups and clubs on trail etiquette, laws and the need to respect the trail.

We are having trouble making people stay on the designated routes and off of roadways unless licensed. Each time a barrier is breached, repairs are made and the damage around the barrier to the environment is studied by an archaeologist. With each breach, this system is getting closer to closure. I’ve created a brochure that explains the rules of this system, please email friendsofure@gmail.com if you would like a copy. I tried posting and was unable to do so. A second resource that is a great tool is www.treadlightly.org where riders can take an online awareness course for free. Please share this information with your riders. Together, we can keep this system open!

Please visit https://www.facebook.com/FriendsOfUwharrie/ to follow current events and issues on this system or to volunteer.

Thank you for your time and effort,

Ok, so now the grizz is running, but the 2wd/4wd isn’t engaging so i’m looking to start by testing the switch, the problem lies in that the letters on the left do not match the letters on the right that show which two to test for continuity.
I’m i missing something or what??
here is a pic that i took to show what’m talking about.
The left pic shows the actual switch with the letters Br, L/R, LG, B, LB but these letters do not match up with the pic on the right!!

I’m obviously missing something, could you please help me out!!LOL!!!!

Hello everyone. I have an issue with my new 2015 Sportsman 570 i purchased this last winter. There is a loud clacking noise between acceleration and deceleration. I’m told it’s normal when I speak to Polaris. It’s so loud that it sounds like a clunker!!! It’s very frustrating. I can even feel it through my body. I had a Sportsman 400 and 500 and it never made this noise. And it seems to lunge you forward when you first begin to drive. How much slack is too much slack? Anyone experiencing these same issues with their Sportsman 570? No Power Steering included and it does have EBS.

I’m new to ATV’s. Been riding dirt and Adv. bikes all my life. I’m now in my 60’s and due to a prothetic leg, can’t ride two wheels any more.

I also can’t stay away from the trails so I’m shopping for the right ATV. I’ve narrowed my choices to either the Sportsman 570SP or the base 850. Price is not an issue.

I don’t care about fancy paint or special wheels. I’m only concerned with the performance and handling.

I am mostly riding jeep trails and the desert out west. Ride Utah and Colorado in the summer and fall.

Any suggestions?
