I’m new to Polaris ATV’s. Just purchased a 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS. Wondering if the Cargo box, dump bed setup from a X2 570 will fit the Sportsman.

I just purchased a Sportsman 570. Not until a few days after getting it , i noticed the two metal guides that the seat slides into near the gas tank are not straight. One looks normal but other points up. THe are not adjustable as the are on piece and bolt down flat. Its so much of a difference that it lifts the seat in the corner.Should i take it back to dealership or just try bending them down. Any others have this issue?

Hey all.. I was out for the weekend and did some quadding on the beach. Went to cross a shallow spot that was not very shallow. Basically I sank not quite up to the seat. I did not swamp the machine, it stayed running but did take some time to get out of the water. Once I did get it out I pulled the plug on the clutch cover and I had a good amount of water come out.. Should I pull the cover and clean it up, or is there any need for that? let me know what you think, thanks…

I’ve been extremely happy with my 570 Sportsman but I had an issue with the heat as everybody on here seems to be talking about. My exhaust actually melted a hole in the cargo box/trunk!! A little grass/mud got piled on top of the exhaust (it’s in the wheel well…..) and got hot enough from the exhaust to burn right through the plastic right where the exhaust attaches near the box. It’s been a week and still waiting for my dealer to call and let me know if Polaris is going to warranty it.

No clue how it happened went to go up a hill and noticed only left tire was pulling trying to figure out what the bracket is called that the a-arm bolts too. As well as suggestions for new axles.

I haven’t done the 3 headlight mod, not because I’m scared or lazy, but I don’t really ride at night and what few times I did the low beam headlights seemed enough for me, this is because the high beam is pointless as it never seems to give you the light where you need it. So I can see why the 3 headlight mod is a popular one.

I did some reading on the mod and it seems there are a misconception about using a relay as opposed to wiring up a Diode. Some say when using a diode it will overheat and stop working. This can be true if you face the diode the wrong way in the circuit….I’ll explain

I traced the circuit down in the service manual and the low beams are relay driven and the high beam is powered directly from the switch itself. Page 443 has the full wire schematic
Service manual

Here is the break down

Switch on handle bar
Low beam – Pin F – Dark Green
High Beam – Pin E – Yellow

Relay in fuse box
Coil High – Pin 25 – (relay trigger input)
Relay out – Pin 29 – (relay high current output)

So the low beam wire doesn’t have a real load on it because it feeds the relay as a trigger, the relay output is where the load of the headlights are on. (Switch pin F —>relay trigger, Relay output pin 29—->factory splice—->headlights)

The high beam wire coming from the switch actually is connected bulb directly so it has a load on it. (high beam wire Pin E—–>high beam headlight)

So if you want to use a diode, make sure you put the Cathode end(silver stripe) towards the Dark Green wire(low beam) and the Anode end on the Yellow wire. This will have the low beams operate normally and the high beams use all 3 lights. Keeping an relay energized take very little power you could use a 1-3 amp diode.

Now it is possible, if someone were to flip the cathode end to the yellow side, you could actually cause a failure in the diode. if the diode amp rating is lower the the circuits amp draw it would overheat and fail. You would probably need a 10-15 amp diode to handle the load. You would know if you hooked it up backwards, if you turn on the low beams and the high beam turns on too and if you turn on the high beams and the low beams turned off.

There is nothing wrong with using a relay but you don’t have to use one if you don’t want to. A relay just requires a couple more steps(connections) as opposed to the diode.

Hope this clears up any Confusion. I posted this in the 570 section as I only have the 570 service manual but I am sure most other models are the same.

I’ve got a new 2015 570 with about 10 miles on it. I know….. I put a winch on it yesterday and playing around with it while not running the motor I ran down the battery. Is there any problem hooking my battery tender leeds up to the distribution block inside the front storage area access where I hooked up my winch power? I thought it would be a easy place to access.

Thanks!

I am currently looking at the 570 eps. I happened to be in the Minneapolis st Paul area and decided to look at what there prices were here compared to what they are almost two hours away near my home. The lowest I have seen is 5500 with cash. High is 7000 plus additional fees. I am curious what you guys see or have purchased them for. Please note location
thank you!

Hi,
I’m new to the forum and new to Polaris ATV’s. (Had Hondas)
I just got a 2015 Sportsman 570 SP Hunter, and need to center mount my old Warn Plow.
Warn lists a mount (94644) for a 2014 Sportsman 570.
Is there any reason this will not fit my 2015 570 SP?
Warn tech service is no help; they just said there’s no listing for a 2015 570 SP.
Thanks.
