Polaris code (520 194 7)

After a lovely 4 days of owning my new machine, the bike throws the check engine light at me and the code reads (520 194 7). Its a (Throttle Release Signal) and is getting taken to the shop today. Was told the part SHOULD be covered and labor as well. Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden this part went out? I understand electronics malfunction, But is there any actual reason other than defective electronics that could have made this happen? Bike will probably be there for a week or so. Hoping no long than that…

just another wheel/tire question

Hey everyone, I have searched the forum and internet and I cant really find what im looking for, so here goes. Im looking at going up to 27" sti black daimonds my question is will my 570 be able to turn those and the itp steel wheels fine? I thought about going aluminum for rims but they are expensive! Im a pretty light guy, about 155lbs. I cant do clutch work because of the extended warranty so thats not an option. I ride a good bit of rock and hardpack but i do love to try conquer a nasty mud hole now and again. So to sum it up, will I be fine with 27s and the steels wheels?

Wheel Test.

So I decided to test fit a set of 14" Polaris XP wheels and 27" tires on the front of my new 570 today.

Please excuse the dirtiness. I like how they look but unfortunately there are issues (which I knew there would be).

So just wanted to show some of the newer guys what issues you may run into and why wheel offset and tire size are important. As for me, these wheels will be painted gloss black and spacers will be installed.

What to do?

What am I going to do with my 80yr old dad, he took the 570 for his first ride today, I told him to run it in low for a little while to break in the belt, he just called me and said that it was popping around 30mph in low , I laughed told him I think it’s alright for him to run in hi, I’m glad he’s out riding. :yikes:

ATV-GURU / Broken Bolt Question

So, as I was attempting to mount my new brush guard on the front, I managed to snap one of the mounting bolts! :damnit::banghead:

It was tight going in due to the self-tapper that was in there prior. I should have ran a tap thru the hole first, but I was just so damned excited to finally have my brush guards that I was rushing it. (the six-week wait was hell!!!)

My question is: Should I take my time and try to drill the broken bolt out without damaging the threads too much? Or, should I go ahead and drill them both for a 5/16-18? I believe the existing holes are threaded 1/4-20 to begin with.

What say you???

new member sportsman 570 100 mile review

So after reading and researching on my first quad purchase I feel I owe it to this forum to do a basic review. Purchase price (5788.00)+ 2.99% 6 k otd.6 month warranty.purchase date 2/26/15(missed 5 year warranty by 2days)build date 10/30/14 did proper break in.machine has more power than I need.no boiling gas/melted seat.I do notice heat on my right leg(only in low gear for extended period of time) but not to hot to ride.i have never owned a quad so don’t know what to compare to.extremely smooth suspension some clunking when slowing down(apparently normal) but have learned to prevent it using throttle.bought a badlands 2500 winch(49$) for emergencies just haven’t got KFI mount yet.two small issues I had were brake reservoir not tight(on left handlebar) ruined 2 nice shirts during break in and noticed tires wearing uneven (25psi)not 5.asked service manager for open bottle of brake fluid to fill back up no problem.so far happy customer thanks again to everyone on this forum.

Back in the game

Picking up my 570 tomorrow and wondering if I should go with 28 or 29.5 ol2? Or should I go origiginal outlaws. Plan on using stock rims if possible. If anybody is awar if I can use stock rims with no rubbing please let me know. Also do they make hotseat or looney tunes slip on for the 570?

Haven’t had a quad for 6 years and also wondering any other tires I should look at maybe that would be the same size and fit also
