It’s come up on my first year (780mi.) with the all new 2014 570. Generally, I ride logging roads and right-of-ways on our property. Occasionally I will ride on an old rail bed and on a 100 year old short line bed with plenty of mud. So far this machine has been very impressive. I consider myself a fairly aggressive rider. I had the whole hot seat issue, but otherwise the bike has been flawless. For what I paid a year ago ($5,390) I consider this bike to be of great value. I have read about all the supposed "issues" with this new bike. While I’m sure some of these stories have some truth to them, I felt it necessary to write about my positive experiences to date. For anyone who is possibly interested in one, I rate it at five stars. At one point I had considered putting mud tires on it. After thinking about it for awhile I realized that this would be foolish as there is only one spot where I was high centering. So I saved five or six hundred bucks and cut a new trail. The money I saved was used for a snow plow. I got an old style glacier with the front mount. Those front mounts are sold under the idea they won’t reduce ground clearance. While this is true, they will reduce your angle of attack. All the rocks and logs that were cleared with ease before now become sticking points. So, needless to say, I will be removing my mount for summer riding. Today while riding with a friend and his new Rzr S 900, I somehow managed to slice my right rear inner CV boot. Initially I remember my dealer telling me that when this happens a new axle is only a couple bucks more. Fortunately I posses some sense and mechanical aptitude and will be purchasing a boot kit. All this having been said, if you’re thinking about it, do it. You won’t be disappointed. Happy riding.

Attachment 24775picked up both on Friday . I was going to get them last fall but there were no deals on the 2015 and didn’t want the 2014 because new model that year. I got 800 off Polaris sale and over 500 off trailer 2015 7×16 v nose tandem axel. Now we are ready to ride except we have a daughter graduating collage in two week and then she is getting married in 6 weeks . Our son will be moving into his 1st apartment memorial weekend with our help (at least get to use the new trailer) looks like maybe 7 or 8 weeks before we can do any real riding

Has any one tried both .Is the sp that much better its the same travel 8.2 but adjustable shocks too. Is the 570sp worth the extra $ .I may get a 15 570eps .I like the price 6500.I don’t ride hard or fast . I do need eps for all the rocky rough trails.the 570 sp does have a cool look to it nice rims its no faster than a std 570.is the old xp550eps better as far as shocks and ride and performance than all 570s? few new xp550eps left around .

Did a quick search, but didn’t come up with anything relating to the 570’s

Apart from the OEM A Arm Guards, anyone have any suggestions? Would rather a metal guard instead of the plastic ones.

Thanks in advance!

I punctured a front tire, Replaced with Mud Lite tires on the front, So far very impressed with the handling and traction, Much better steering control, Guess I will have to replace the rear now, Anybody else run these, Hope they wear well, Seem to be the ticket for Mountain riding great on trails, mud, snow so far.

I noticed while riding Wednesday when I stood up that I could pull the handlebars straight up about 1/8" to 1/4".
Is this a normal amount of movement or should I be checking/replacing something in the steering?
