Bought it off of a farm boy with 1000 miles on it, and warranty left. It came with an extra set of never installed 26 inch mud lites on aluminum rims.
Turns out while he owned it, it had the transmission replaced under warranty, as well as a rear axle.
I have had it for three weeks, and now there is a serious rattle coming from the front end. Took it in for warranty, and they are not sure yet, but they told me either the front diff has a problem, and will need to be changed, or the front left axle has a problem. Also, they found a problem with the belt. The ATV creeps ahead while at an idle, so they are addressing that when they look at it.
I can get another 54 months of warranty put on it for 1000 bucks. Should I do this, and spend the money, sell the darn thing before something else happens, or keep it after they fix it and hope for the best?
Aside from the idle adjustment knob rotting off the thing, my 2012 500 has been bomb proof. Not sure what to do. On an ATV this new I dont feel there should be this many issues of this caliber. Eventually the crrent warranty will wear out. Then what?
I have a 2012 sportsman 500HO, a 2008 400HO, and a 2014 570 EFI, as well as a Pro x 800 sled, and a custom built 440 sport with a 153 inch mountain suspension and track under it for trapping.
Just so ya know, I need some advice on issues relating to problems I am having with my new 570.
New to the site. I need some advice on the oil pump. Currently doing a rebuild due to water and sand getting in the motor. Not sure what to do about the oil pump if it is ok the way it is or replace the case and new pump.
Hi just bought a grizzly and apparently the guy I bought it from didn’t fill the diff up after he did some work. First ride out completely shredded it. Busted the case and all. Anyone have a used diff in good shape for sale. Kinda hurting for money after just buying this thing so any help appreciated.
