Hey guys,

Looking for recommendations for a snow plow without breaking my wallet for my ’13 500 HO. Would like to get steel blade and use my winch to lower/raise it. Are there any deals going on? I will need the whole package (blade, push tube, and mounting plate).

Appreciate any help!

Thanks guys!

Picked this quad up the little while back. It has the EBS and around 8500km’s on it (5200miles).
It seems like it has very little get up and go. Can spin the tires in gravel and just kind putters.

I’ve never owned a automatic quad before, but several sleds. Should be same principle.

It is supposed to have Hotcams in it (not sure what style came or even if the make different types. I also do believe a seen a clutch kit on one of the receipts, but can’t seem to find them.

I took the belt to local dealer and it the correct one for EBS as well as same dimensions so it is in new condition. No glassing on it. So I ruled out the belt.

Without a belt on the machine I can squeeze the primary clutch together fairly easy. Is the normal? Looks like the stock factory colour spring (blue with yellow strip). I blew out all the dust and checked the weights and rollers. All seem to be okay.

Secondary I took apart and cleaned and greased the bearing. Reassembled. All seems well until I read some stuff that says it need to be preloaded. But the spring does not have any notches to put in holes.

Questions are:
Should primary be fairly easy to compress?

Does all secondary clutches always have preloading capabilities?

Gentleman, I am new to this site.

Looking at getting a wheeler soon. My family has always had at least one around for me to use in the past, but I want to start going on trail rides.

So here is the question / start of the debate.

My family currently has a 04′ sportsman 700 efi, late 90s 500 and a 12′ 850. The 850 has eps but the others do not. I am looking at a slightly used 15′ 570, non eps with 27" tires and 14" wheels. How similar or different do you think it will be to the 700?

Power, speed, handling, hauling, towing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all.
Need a flare kit for Sportsman 550X2, 2010 model.
I have looked at spare parts but couldn’t find any. Any ideas re – RETRO flare kit from similar models.

Also would like to know if there is a map holder or similar to rest above my speedometer.

Thanks
Tony

Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a 2012 850 Touring with 2000 miles. It had some issues when I bought it as I have had to change the front wheel bearings, a lower ball joint and a front drive shaft u-joint (next to front differential). The rear had been changed and is good. All fluids have been changed as well as I did the brakes on all three wheels.

When I drive it, it has a squeal/squeak that starts at about 5 mph and quits just as you get past 10 mph. It does not appear to be rotational in that it does not get louder or quieter as you accelerate or have that wish/wish sound like it comes and goes as the shafts go around.

No oil leaks on the cv boots and it will not increase or quit when turning the bars lock to lock.

Noise sounds like it is coming from up front so no heat shields to vibrate. Can’t make it stop when grabbing the brake or using the foot brake.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what this may be? I just come off a 08 Sportsman 500 Touring so this is an entirely new animal to me.

It does have EPS and that works as it should.

Thanx for reading this!

My son has a 2008 sportsman 90. He was riding across the field and it died on him, the fuse had blown. Replaced the fuse but the regulator started smoking and blowed it again. Ive looked all over it and cant find any bare wires. Is there a way to check my stator to make sure its still good? Im going to replace the regulator for sure, once the smoke gets out,its hard to get it back in! Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Looking to buy one just not sure which one kinda scared of an 850 after reading about the timing gear deal. If I got an 800 I would add power steering any opinions on the super Atv kit is it as good as Polaris factory PS? The 570 looks a little narrow and not real sure about the power but kinda like it because the best one I’ve owned was a 2004.5 500 and the 570 should be about the same just with PS. Thoughts or opinions thanks.
