First off, my machine is a 2015 570 Sportsman. It is the first ATV I have ever owned. Anyway, I decided I wanted to put a winch on the machine but having been recently laid-off from my job, I had to at least attempt to do it as cheaply as possible. Hench, I did not buy the Polaris set up.
Based on what I read here, I ordered the KFI mount (#100740) for my machine from Amazon. Next I went to the local Harbor Freight and purchased a Badlands 2500lb winch.
As I was installing the winch into the mount, I thought to myself that I didn’t like the cheap bolts that came with the winch. However, before I went to get some 8 grade fasteners, I wanted to check the fitment of everything. Well wouldn’t you know that the fairlead bolt holes do not line up with the KFI mount. So now I am scratching my head and wondering if I should A) take the 2500lb winch back and measure the distance of the bolts holes on the 3500lb winch to see it they are compatible, B) return the winch for a full refund and get another brand of winch, or C) attempt to drill new holes in the bracket that are correctly spaced for the fairlead that came with the winch? I guess another option would be buying a fairlead that is spaced correctly.
Oh the joys of owning a new machine and learning new things.

I have a ’15 Sportsman 570 and my display has been showing the low voltage message. I took the battery out of the machine to inspect it & the levels of all 6 cells were between the min/max markings. It read 12.48 when I checked it with my multi-meter. I charged it for about 15 hours (which is what my trickle charger instructions said for that size battery) and now it’s reading 12.81. What should it be reading? Do I need to charge it longer?

Hey folks….I have a 1992 Honda 300 fourtrax. Its been a real trooper. Tough as nails. Lately, I have a real hard time starting it. It seems to be kicking back when I try to start it. It always use to start with a kick or 2. And now if I do get it started and run it for awhile the turn it off, almost impossible to restart it again. Any thoughts?
I have an 06 trx 450 valves are in clearance good spark it shuts off then it acts like its seized let it sit and it will start messed with the jetting but no luck any help would be appreciated
I’m missing a zerk fitting in the front prop shaft. I did find the zerk fitting whole after following threads and asking questions in the forum. Unfortunately, the zerk fitting probably was never installed or it came off from the factory.
The issue is, I can’t reach to put in a replacement zerk fitting. I haven’t been able to remove the step plastic as I held off in removing front and rear plastics of ATV. Is there a work-around to this? or all plastics needs to be removed to remove the foot piece?
My other option is to bring it to the dealer and have them install the fitting since I still have Polaris warranty but based on other posts here I think that’ll take about a month.
On my 350d i have one of these bumpers, it bolts right on with no mods, all i can tell you is it has a USA made sticker on the left hand side, could this be a hondaline bumper for a 350d ? Thanks
