Maybe I’m missing the obvious, but can someone tell me WHY synthetic winch rope requires an aluminum hawse fairlead? I can understand why you wouldn’t want to use a chewed up roller fairlead that got that way from a regular cable. All the rough spots would fray the rope. But if a roller fairlead has brand new and smooth rollers, why can that not be used with synthetic rope? And just cause the manufacturers say to use an aluminum hawse fairlead is not a technical reason why.

My stock radiator got a hole in it so I replaced it with a aluminum radiator. Now the fan will not stop running. Any ideas why??? Its a 2007 polaris sportsman Deluxe

2013 sportsman 500ho oK went for a ride while riding at night I notice the lights dimming down ever so often didn’t think much of it thought it was just the fan comming on till it stopped doing it the. Said well what the fu…? Fan came on after I shit the bike off

Hello Fellas, went riding this summer a few times on our normal trails, some spots are waist high deep mud/clay with the consistancy of watery pancake batter. both times have gotten this watery goo in the clutch. NOT GOOD!!! guessing it is coming through exhaust vent for clutch??? Any suggestions on relocating or kits to fix this problem? As currently it is in the shop getting repaired for stripped linkage to transmission for shifting hard…Thanks Dave

I wonder if Honda will ever make a 2up? The reason I bring this up is that I was talking to my wife about keeping the old 4wheeler when I get a Rubicon DCT and she could drive the new one. Her response was that she would rather ride than drive. Neither one of us want a side by side and I don’t really want to go to a belt drive.

After tons of confusion, I think polaris made a terrible choice going to the SP model designation. It confuses alot of people. Especially since SP 500 for example, always meant Sportsman.

They should have a name for the value models (VL 450/570) for example.

And the XP name on the XP chassis machines again.

Having :

Sportsman 450
Sportsman 570
Sportsman 570 SP
Sportsman 850
Sportsman 850 SP
Sportsman 1000 XP

It groups the 450/570/850 together. When they are wildly different.

What do you think?!
