brush cutter

this is a good idea that didn,t fly. the Rincon is to fast, the bottom of the Rincon looked like a porcupine with branches and sricks everywhere. so now on to plan B. gona scrounge some 12 inch mower wheels and make it a hand push brush cutter.

Reverses without throttle (2016 POLARIS Sportsman 570 Touring SP EPS)

My brother is not too happy with his Polaris lol…… When he drops it in reverse, it backs up without applying any throttle…He’s livid about it, since the dealer says he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. He also found out his front Diff is leaking. He’s already sick of it and its only 3 months old, he wants to go back to Japanese quads.
Anyone else have this issue?

Purchase decision…

Well, I am trying to decide what to get for a second ATV. I have a 2013 Outlander Max 800. I’ve been looking at the Outlander 570XMR, Renegade 570XMR and the Outlander 650XMR. The Outlander 570XMR is about $1,500 less than the other two (Renegade 570 XMR and Outlander 650 XMR are the same price). I want something that is different than the Outlander MAX I already have. Don’t want massive power.

My local dealer also has a 2009 Arctic Cat MudPro 700 that is absolutely mint for about half the price of the Outlander 570XMR….

Overheating 2010 Sportsman 500

My 2010 Sportsman 500 HO has been overheating every time we have taken it out this summer. I have cleaned the radiator fins. Just took apart the water pump cover and the water pump is clean and functions when the machine starts up. On the other side I took the thermostat out, checked it in a pan of boiling water and it opens up and operates as normal. The cooling fan is operational (recently replaced). Any other ideas as to why I am having this overheating issue?

Thanks,
Brad
