Picking up my 08 polaris sportsman 800 stealth edition tom! It only has 165 hours on it. Ive rode hondas all my life and took the polaris for a test drive before i bought it and man all i can say is WOW! I dont think ill ever go back! It rides smoother on concrete with outlaws better than my old 420 on silverbacks on the grass! I look forward to posting on the forum and posting pictures of the money im going to sink into it😂 well, thank yall!

Hello! New here. I just picked up a ’07 Polaris 800 X2 Sportsman. I use it for fun and work around the house. I look forward to researching this forum for product review and recommendations. Thanks!

This forum looks great all the info i was looking for in one place….This is my first time ever with polaris products. I am used to honda’s….but i couldn’t pass up the price…..until i found out i can no longer get some of the parts i need LOL…Anyway thanks for having me….

Wanted to say hi from West TN area. Been here quite a few times since buying my 2014 570.

Just bought a 2015 Sportsman 570 EFI. Has 4.9 hours on it and today I noticed fuel dripping from the frame under the front. Anyone else had this issue? It was coming from the area in the picture. It wasn’t much but still shouldn’t be happening. Will any Polaris dealership honor warranty or does it have to go back were I bought it?

I own a 1997 Polaris Sportsman 500 that I have a hard to start. I have to use the choke for a long period of time and then I shut it off after a while it will start and run fine. After starting and left to run for a couple of minute it will start right away. But after a few hours I still have to start it again. Can you Help me to get that machine to start easy.:motz:

Hi! my name is Charlie, and I am from the province of New Brunswick in Canada.

Got my first atv Trail Boss 325
Polaris is very rear here, no dedicated shops for it.
When I bought it, the oil sign probably oil temperature red signal was on. After searching in many shops, I finally found and changed Polaris engine oil, but red light is stil on.
Hope to find solution here.
Many thanks

Just picked up my new 2015 570 EPS Camo last week and took it on a 3 day trip to Hatfield & McCoy trails (Buffalo Mntn). I absolutely love the machine! A big improvement over my ’13 Honda Rancher ES. I did have a couple of issues with it though.

My dealer cross threaded the negative cable on the battery. Surprised the thing hung on as long as it did! After trouble shooting and finding the issue it was a relatively easy fix; even though it was extremely difficult to get to, especially trail side in the mud and rain.

I definitely experienced the heat issues as well as some overheating that I’very read about here. Some of that overheating may have been on me as the machine was extremely muddy. After I hosed the rad out it still ran pretty hot but no lights.

Anyone ever have the bike shut off on them from overheating? This one did once. Idiot light came on and it shut down almost immediately. Made me weary for a while.

Also had the key chain / fob shut the bike off in a hard right turn. Please be aware of this issue and take the hardware off of the key!

Looking forward to testing this quad some more in the coming weeks!
