Lots of 570’s.

Not sure about you guys, but boy am I seeing tons of 570’s. In the past 3 weeks I have seen 5 of them in people’s driveways, being ridden around yards, and seen two on a power line. Yesterday while on I75 I seen a bunch iof them as well on trailers mixed in with other machines headed north. Polaris must be selling the hell out of these things!

Auto stop fairleed issue

I’m stumped and need some help. I have an auto stop fairleed which is really awesome, but it’s not working right and I can’t figure it out. It stops when a magnet gets close to the fairleed and doesn’t allow it to pull the hook in.

Symptoms and troubleshooting so far

For no consistent reason, I was not able to winch in, but out always works. Sometimes it works 10 times straight and then it’ll stop for a while. The only way I’ve been able to get it to work almost every time is to shut the machine off and then turn the key to start it again and in will work? This tells me I’m tricking it somehow by killing the power for a second rather than a loose wire? At no point was the magnet close to the fairleed when troubleshooting.

Anyone have any ideas? I’m stumped.

Also started to experience seat melting today. Anyone get Polaris to fix this yet or have luck with their dealer? I’m only in warranty for 45 more days. I emailed him today.

Blown head gasket?

So I was going to go out for a ride with my dad today on the 570’s and I started mine and the check engine light started flashing and read an error code 0520194/2 looked it up in the book and it says throttle sensor, sensor out of range. So I shit off the engine and looked around it and discovered a slurry of oil and coolant leaking out just above the Polaris industries sticker between the cooling jacket and block. Me being pissed off walked around the machine and opened the oil dipstick and discovered a foamy froth inside, so now I want to know how hard it is to change the gasket once I’m down to just the engine if I should get an aftermarket gasket and what might have caused this. There’s only 5 hours on the new oil change I run 5w-50 full synthetic castrol, it has 28in tires and a uni filter, there’s 2000km’s on it. Oh one more thing how do I know nothing else in the engine was damaged what do I look for?

Side wall of tire

I gouged the side wall of tire, Small hole takes about 3 days or so to go down about 1/2 way. So can I pull this tire and do you think the dealer would patch side wall from inside, Or are they going to say new tire?
I know they wont do autos or motorcycles, But an ATV might be considered different. What do you all think?
