Hey guys – can you recommend any good spots in the Central NJ or Lehigh Valley for riding? Want to exercise the Grizzly and my 7 acres isnt cutting it.
Pulled front engine cover to replace output sgaft seal and install epi clutch kit and found this? Obviously been hot but is it normal or a burnt clutch?
I have a 2015 sportsman 570 EPS EBS and it’s lacking the low and mid grunt that it use to have when I first bought it. When I first purchased the machine, my dealer changed the clutch weights for higher elevation (Utah) but, I ended up hitting the rev limiter and they switched the weights back. Once they switched the weights back, my machine lost some of its grunt and I just assumed it was normal and so I continued like that for the past 1000 miles. What made me realize that it is not normal is when I raced my brother who has a 2015 sportsman 570 base model. His machine would pop a wheelie and slowly pull away from mine. After he whooped on me, I decided to get on his machine and it made me sad how much my machine lacks the grunt his has. So I bought a new belt and clutch kit last week from Ryan, and then tried multiple setups with different springs, and switching between stock weights and the new weights. Even with all the different setups, my bother beat me every time. Not once would my machine lift its front end up, even with the clutch kit and stock tires.
I have talked to Ryan from RVS Performance about this and he suggested a few things that might be the problem. Such as I might need a new belt, clutches needing to be cleaned, and maybe needing some new bushings. I have bought a new belt and scrubbed the clutch sheaves with a scotch brite pad but, have not messed with the bushings. Besides for those few things, is there any other things that could be causing the lack of grunt?
I am looking for suggestions of possible causes to help better diagnose the problem and make the dealer fix it when I take it in this week.
I’m wondering who has experience putting on a looney tuned slip-on exhaust on their sportsman 850? I have a 2015 850 and bought a big gun exhaust and it didn’t fit for nothing. I’m curious if I’m going to run into the same issue with a looney tuned or if it will fit perfectly? Thanks!
I have an 05 Polaris Sportsman 800 efi. I noticed that it had started leaking oil around the oil filter. Picked up new polaris filter and changed it. After cranking it, noticed it was still leaking and gasket was sticking out from filter on top. Took filter back off (again) fixed gasket back in grove of still new filter and reinstalled. Cranked it again and as it was idling, it was ok. When I gave it gas the gasket around filter " blew " again. After research, I changed the oil pressure relief valve and this seemed to work. Went for ONE ride and it did ok until I got it home. I unloaded bike to put it up and oil gasket " blew " again. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for fix. Thanks from Ms.
The other morning I went out to start my 570 to go cut wood and when I went to start it it stalled, 3 times until it would go. Sparkplug? mine is one year old and it has the original in it. What’s the number on the NGK sparkplug to fit my sportsman, currently it has a champion in it. Thanks.
