570 shimmy @ 40

Picked up a 2015 570 sportsman. went out on first ride over 30 and noticed a shimmy at 40 mph. Anyone know what this could be? Called Dealer and they want it back to fix it.:slomo:

Still waiting

I bought a new ATV about a month ago and am still waiting to hear from Polaris on the "ATV Training offered every new buyer." Has anyone ever heard of this training and is it worth waiting for?????
disappointed in Flint

i purchased a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 850in white!! This is my very first ATV I have ever owned. I will use it to push my Sprint Car around the pits and for personal enjoyment!! I should be picking it up in next couple days.

New From Ohio

Hello All!!! While everyone around me is running the newer, prettier quads I still have fun on a ’98 Sport 400L and a ’01 Trailblazer 250. Parts are getting harder to come by so I may have to suck it up and get new soon lol. This seems like a great place for info and ideas. Thanks so much!!!

Hey everyone,
Just bought my first atv a 2007 sportsman 800 stealth black edition. Bought it to use ice fishing, plowing and hopefully do some trail riding. The quad only has 500 miles on it, from what I understand that’s low. I have been searching the site the last two days trying to gather information without asking the same questions over and over. I am looking into doing a clutch kit soon and maybe buy a set of wheels and tires. I wanted to change the exhaust but think I’m going to hold off until I hear some other ones out there to make sure that is a good decision.

2003 Polaris Sportsman 600

I have a 03 Sportsman 600 that I am having a couple of issues with. First off, it will not always shift into high gear. Sometimes it goes right in and other times it will sit there and grind and never go in. The other issue I am having is that when I ride it and it really warms up, I cannot change gears. I have to shut down the machine put it into the gear I need and then start it back up. I was wondering if anyone on here has had or heard of problems like this and point me in the right direction. THANKS!

I have an 05 Polaris Sportsman 800 efi. I noticed that it had started leaking oil around the oil filter. Picked up new polaris filter and changed it. After cranking it, noticed it was still leaking and gasket was sticking out from filter on top. Took filter back off (again) fixed gasket back in grove of still new filter and reinstalled. Cranked it again and as it was idling, it was ok. When I gave it gas the gasket around filter " blew " again. After research, I changed the oil pressure relief valve and this seemed to work. Went for ONE ride and it did ok until I got it home. I unloaded bike to put it up and oil gasket " blew " again. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for fix. Thanks from Ms.
