New 2 me 00 trailblazer

Hello, my name is Jason I’m new to the forum. Just wanted to say I own a 2000 Polaris trailblazer 250 new to me. This is the first quad that I’ve ever owned and I have been plagued with nothing but problem after problem. First was tires, then starter, pull start, plug. And my latest fiasco, carburetor issues. Joining the forum more or less for a mental stability standpoint Just good to know that I’m not the only one plagued with a problem quad :chairfall:

New to me ’05 700 EFI Dale Jr.

Well after not having my sportsman for some years now as I sold my ’02 in 2011 I have been in search of a great deal on a replacment machine. I found an ’05 Dale Jr. 700 EFI for a steal of a deal. It was owned by an older gentleman who only used it for hunting one or two seasons. It has 498 miles and 70 hours and came with 2.5 winch as well. Seems sound runs good and has been taken care of. Will go through all fluids and bolts from front to back for a once over then will be out scouting for deer season soon. Best part I picked it up for 750.00 with a two quad trailer included. :fest06:

new sportsman owner from ohio

Howdy,

Purchased a ’15 Sportsman 570 EPS as I felt it was the best bang for the buck. I was looking to trade in my ’05 Yamaha Kodiak but ended up keeping it for my son. Quads sure have came a long ways in 10 years! Anyways, I’ve made a few mods, added rear rack, winch, and most recently, a set of 26" Bear Claws with HD3 rims. I’m not all that familiar with engine/performance mods that I see mentioned on this site, so I may have to ask the experts here when that time comes.

Picked up a 2015 Sportsman 570 in red last night. Ordered some goodies for it already. Called WildBoarATV and got them sending me a set of 30×9-14 Gorilla Silverbacks, some STI HD4s and a radiator relocator. Called Dan at Highlifter and got their 2 inch lift kit. Took the shopping list off of here for the snorkels and after pricing it all out and ordering the air box adapter from Rubber Down Customs in Canada, I actually will come out cheaper by getting the kit from GoDeepInc in North Carolina. I know I will need a clutch kit and a full set of Rhino axles in due time, although my opinion has always been to replace axles with cheap knock off stockers. Always want the weakest link to be to be the cheapest link. I’d rather replace a $110 axle than a $1500 diff. I’ve already got a split speaker set up from a previous build that consists of 2 6.5 Polk DB speakers and a 400 watt SSL Amp. Looks to be a fun little toy to pass the time and hand off to my daughter in a couple years when I step up to a Scrambler 1k or Ranger 900 or Rzr 1k.

New To Polaris ATVs, New ETX

Hi, everyone. I’m new to Polaris ATVs. I’ve owned a 2002 Honda 400ex which I did a lot of things to. I also had 2004 Yamaha YFZ 450. I traded that for a 2002 Polaris XCSP 500 snowmobile. That was last fall. The fall before I traded an old Chevy 6.0 engine for a 1994 Indy Super Sport 440. i sold that after acquiring the XCSP. Two months ago I bought a new 2015 Polaris Sportsman ETX. There was a good sale on them at my local dealer and I’ve been very happy with it so far. I wanted to get a bigger displacement quad but the price was right.
