Hey all, Justin Here.. brand new to the ATVing world.. was going to get a new snowblower this year but had always wanted an ATV so why not get a plow and justify it as a tool rather than a toy.. man logic! HAHA

Anyway, it is a 2006 Sportsman 500 EFI. Picked it up for $3900 with the Polaris quick release plow. One owner and only 336miles and 60.5 hours. Pristine!

I even tracked down the previous owner.. He bought it new and his wife rode it until 2010. He just used it a couple times a year to make sure everything worked, always stored inside. New sealed battery in it early last year. He only had the plow on it once as he used the 700 for plowing, the 500 was just backup.

My questions are..

1. I plan to have the local dealer do a full fluid change.. any idea what to expect to pay? I will problem do it them all myself next time, I am just not quite familiar with the process just yet and want get it done and get some trail time in while I can.

2. Are these red suspension parts aftermarket? Or Polaris factory

3. Any other misc tip and tricks for a new guy? 🙂
