The new Polaris

I recently purchased a new 570 Sportsman. I am not new to four wheeling as I have been riding a Polaris 400 Xplorer 4×4 since I purchased it new in 95. I just felt I was due for a new one. But I have to admit I like the old one for riding better.

I live in Northern Wisconsin and there are ATV trails everywhere. When leaving my driveway, I am on an ATV/snow mobile trail. So I can just jump on the wheeler and go.

The new Sportsman has me a little concerned I have to admit. I rode it about fifteen miles and went home with it because I was sure I could smell something burning. Once home I called the dealer and they assured me it was just because the machine was new.

So my next plan is to get a winch and snow plow for the machine. Also is the extended warranty worth it? With the smell of burning it did make me think that if I work the machine hard in the winter, maybe something would break. Anything to watch out for?

Thanks,

Dave

New member looking for recommended Polaris dealer near Houston TX.

A buddy I served with is looking to buy a mud ready quad, I recommended that he test drive the new 850 Highlifter edition. My question is what dealer do ya’ll recommend in or around the Houston Texas area?

This will be his first ATV, and I know how important dealer/customer service is especially when it comes to any possible warranty issues. So that being said what dealer has the best customer service/service department in or around the Houston area?

I appreciate any feedback. I want to make sure he has the best information seeing as this will be his first ATV.
