Looking at a ’09 Sportsman 850 xp with only about 1,035 kms. It has a 2 inch lift, snorkels, rad relocate, snow plow and aftermarket tires as well as stock. He’s asking $4000
Power steering isn’t working right now, he says it’s just a relay? Any ideas?
Also the belt could be changed he says he is supplying it.
I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet but what does everyone think?
Deal? Or stay away?
Thanks guys.
I’m new to the forums and have tried to find some info on this but haven’t found any yet…
I’m going to buy a new sportsman 570 in the next week but I’m not sure if I should buy the 570 base or 570 EPS. While it sounds like a nice feature, I’m not too concerned about the EPS because I’m a younger guy and I’ve been able to steer all my previous quads just fine. I’m more curious about the EBS. I live in SE IN where there are plenty of hills and I will be using my new sportsman mostly for work around the house and at the farm. I am wondering if the EBS is a worthwhile feature for the extra cost since there will be plenty of times that I will be pulling a trailer full of wood, gravel, tools/equipment, etc and will have to go down some steep hills. Any information is appreciated, thanks.
I have the opportunity to purchase 3 quads. An 86 250r, and 87 trx 250x and a 200x. The only thing that needs work is the carb on the 200x. Everything else looks to be in decent shape but is 3200 a good price?
I’m new here. New to ATV’s. I’m trying to figure out what to buy. I’m thinking I want something close to the Sportsman 500. There seems to be many variations and frankly I’m getting a little overwhelmed. There are some features that sound like something I’d like to have. It seems there are some machines that are less desirable than others. Some chassis are better than others. Which engine? [500, 550, 570] I like the idea of EPS. So I can use some guidance. Is there a comparison chart that has all these and other variables to help me sort through.
I purchased a 2003 Rancher 350 es. I purchased it without a pink slip as I planned on using it for work around my property and nothing more. The seller said the quad was his father’s and his father was terminally ill. Which made sense the quad is very sun faded and has 260 miles on it. So I went to look at the quad and met with the son and his grandfather. I explained to both of them that I had no interest in buying a stolen quad. They offered to go to the police dept. with me so I could have the vin. number checked and be assured the quad was stolen. We went and the officer ran the vin # and said the quad was not stolen.
Now I’ve been riding for a few days and it’s so much fun I think I will want to trail ride. My next green sticker is due in June of 2016. I called the seller and he said if I took the old registration card into the DMV next May I can pay for the green sticker and the quad will remain in his fathers name.
Can I do this or will i have to keep the quad for work around my property?
thanks

Just sold my trusty old 2004.5 700 yesterday and found two 800efis I really like. One is an 05 with 400 miles and 80 hours, 3500lb Polaris Winch and hard lock n ride rear box for 4500. It’s black and red and looks absolutely perfect.
The other is an 06 with 530 miles and 90 hours, and has 589 tires on the stock wheels with no other "extras". The bottom line on that one is 4200. Looks to be in great shape, but not as nice as the 05 black one (literally looks new).
Any thoughts? I will need a winch eventually, as I plan to plow this winter. Thanks in advance!
