We just bought a the 650 Max with a set a tracks to push snow with plow. Used it about 4 times and it looks like the belt is blown. Don’t want to open it up to check if that is the issue cause the bike is still on warranty. If it is the belt any idea why it would break?

Hello everyone, I’m currently looking to buy a 01 sportsman 500ho. It is owned by a 80yr old man who is 5’4" tall and he says the only reason he is selling it is he simply can not steer it through his woods anymore. He said the machine is like new, everything works perfectly but the speedo and odometer. That’s where the problems start for me. Wouldn’t the 4×4 not work if the speedo is broke? He is also asking $3000 for the machine, and it looks very nice in the pictures he sent but $3000 is top dollar in my area for an 01 sportsman I think. Also with the odometers not working I couldn’t tell what it really has for mileage… He says the odometer currently reads 179mi. With all that being said it is nice and I would like to at least look at it and make him an offer unless everyone here feels I should stay away?? So looking for everyone’s help here to give me an estimate on what the speedo would cost to fix in worst case scenario, what you guys would offer on the machine, and what to look out for when I check the machine over on Friday. Most people I know dislike Polaris Atv’s, so I want to make and educated decision. Lastly, I’ll be using the machine for light trail riding, and yard work mostly. I just need a good reliable machine and sportsmans are all that I can really afford in my area. Thanks!

Brought my 2017 570 EPS home today, did some light riding for a combined 1 hr. and heard ‘clunk clunk clunk’.. No forward no reverse. Hopped off and saw the drive shaft came apart at the articulating knuckle or whatever the joint is called.. I could tell that either Polaris forgot to put the pin in or it was crappy and worked itself out. Had the dealer send a mechanic out right away. Dude pounded a compression pin in and all seems ok. I’m not bitching, just throwing it out there. I guess check your pins.. My snowplow needed some tightening down too when it got home.
