2016 570 oil filter cross reference

I’ve tried a few searches already and can’t find this. (I might be missing the obvious somewhere.)

Is there a link or a chart that shows the part numbers of different brand filters that replace the Polaris oil filter for my 2016 570?

I’ve seen a lot of topics that say buy Wix, buy NAPA, buy Purolator…. I am just interested in the different part numbers and I will research and decide which brand I want.

Axle Nut Size for Front Axle

Hi there! I’m new to the forum and have a 2015 Sportsman 570 (non eps) and recently changed my rear wheel bearings and the Axle Nut was 27 mm on the rear axles however the front one is smaller.

Anyone know the size of the front Axle Castle Nut off hand as I need to head to purchase a socket for it?

this may be pushing it but anyone know the socket size to drive out the Front Wheel Bearing from the hub to go around the outer ring without breaking the hub when pushing out.

Thanks!

i had purchased an 1985 trx70 for my grandson 3 years ago . now i have picked up an 85 trx 125 . the 125 has been setting for 15 years or so , but i cleaned the carb and put in a new plug and battery it started up and ran fine , but smoked . the 70 after 3 years of pretty hard yard riding is started to smoke also . over the years i have been familar with plenty of 2 stroke motorcycles , but never a 4 stroke . i was wondering when i tear into these , is there anything that i should be aware of ? i figure i’ll have plenty of questions along the way , so i will thank all of you in advance ,thank you .

2015 Renegade 500 (Front Left Axle/CV broken)

I’ve spent the last two weeks searching and still either cannot find with part I’m looking for, or can’t get confirmation the part will actually work or not for my quad.

I can find the part all over for around $70 up to $100. Most say will not fit 2015, some say they will, but part numbers are different on some pages, and the same on others. Can Am lists it for around $300, with yet again a different part number. :th_smiliepullhair:

Can some one PLEASE help me find the front left axle with cv joints for my wife’s 2015 Renegade 500…(that I broke) …for less then $300 preferably.

Thanks in advance!

2003 Sportsman 400 Running Problem

Ok,I usually have a quick look around and see if I can find an answer for a problem i’m having,but just throwing this out there while I have a look around,to see if anyone has come across the same prob.

Bike is a 2003 Sportsman 400 non-HO….that seems to have an intermittent spark problem. The bike started with a bucking,bogging problem,so I assumed dirty carb. Took it off,was very clean,but went over it good anyway,drilled out brass plug,removed pilot screw,cleaned everywhere,set floats,cleaned out the gas tank and screens on fittings on tank,new petcock(cuz plastic ones SUCK,and break almost every time u need to get lines off :ugh: )..all new gas lines…took fuel pump apart and cleaned…new spark plug…new gas..

Start it up…same thing…bogging down..skipping and dying out at idle..just generally running like crap…

So set the valves,and noticed some scoring on the exhaust lobe,and know these have probs….So order up the new cam and exhaust rocker kit..install it yesterday….AND STILL THE SAME DAMN PROBLEM..:ugh:

So while i’ve got it running in garage…skipping and dying out…I can hear a clicking among the wiring at the front,thats under the front hood.It really sounds like its coming from the coil…and every time it starts with the clicking,thats when it starts running like crap….it will run fine for couple secs,then hear it start clicking and the bike will die.

I looked over the plug wire while I had it tore down,as read on here before about probs with rubbing behind the tank,but wasn’t wore anywhere.

I’m going to go out here shortly and go through the electrical tests in the manual,hopefully i’ll find something.

Just hoping someone might have had the same prob,and can chime in what it ended up being…these things have so much extra electrical crap compared to other manufacturers.
