maroon?! I can’t believe orange is not offered.

The 2017 sportsman 1000 has 90 HP compared to the Outlander 89 HP. Funny thing is Polaris has 4 1000cc atv’s all four have a different HP….

Sportsman 1000 90HP
Scrambler 1000 89HP
Sportsman Touring 1000 88HP
Sportsman Highlifter 1000 85HP

Correct me if I am wrong but all Can-am atv 1000 engines have the same hp. How or why does Polaris do this? Different tunes? I just thought this was interesting and also how Can-am is no longer the hp leader…..

When we buy a Outlander Max XT it will be in the back of our pickup A LOT because we live in our motorhome and travel the country fulltime. With that in mind I worry about the weight on the tailgate. I have come across a ramp system that also is a bed extender called "Load-all" and was wondering if anyone here has or has seen anyone with this ramp system and if so what you think of it.

Hi all, I am getting ready to sell my kawasaki bruteforce and i am having a hard time deciding what i want. I know this is a polaris forum, but my choices are between a 2016 can-am outlander 1000xt or a 2017 sportsman 1000. I am waiting to see what Abernathy’s in Tennesee is going to sell them for to make my final decison because my local dealer has the outlander. Local dealer also has a red 2016 sportsman 1k but from what iv’e read people say to wait for the 2017’s?? I am not real familar with the sportsmans, what were some common issues with them in 2015 and 2016? Were they addressed for 2017? I am just looking for as much advice as possible, obviously it comes down to personal preference but i would give the new sportsman a chance for sure. They also jumped 2hp from 2016 to the new 2017’s.

Thanks for any advice!

Replacing the belt on my "new to me" Maverick. I would really like to hear peoples thoughts and opinions on what belt to get. I would appreciate any input I can get.

Thanks,

I’m having a problem that stumps me. On my newest project, 1985 ATC250ES, also known as the Big Red. I rebuilt the carb with a kit from GH Atv. Soaked in carb cleaner for 7 days, blew out all passages with carb cleaner in a can then blew out with compressed air. Bike starts up first press of the button but after idling for 1-2 mins starts revving higher. I have installed a new uni filter, checked for air leaks around fittings. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is the tank, it’s soaking in vinegar now. Hopefully I can salvage it.

I say from the road because we live fulltime in our motorhome and travel the country.
We have pulled a Jeep Rubicon with us the last 4 years but have decided to switch things up and add another toy so we put the Jeep in a storage unit and bought a pickup (6 1/2ft bed) so we can get a toy to haul with us.
We pondered a RZR but I think because of weight and size we have decided on a Can-Am 850 Outlander Max XT. Just need to find one at a good price and pull the trigger.
We spend winters in Arizona and a bunch of people we know ride in the Quartzsite area so we thought it would be a hoot to join in. And hope we could find groups to ride with while in other states as well.
Just stumbled onto this site a couple days ago so hope to become an active member and learn lots.

Ok guys I’ve looked around and can’t find any solid info on this subject , I know a lot of ya’ll have been there riding so any input would be appreciated. We love night rides and I’ve heard the trails close at dusk , has anyone rode at night or been caught on the trails after dark?

Just out of curiosity, Has anyone found an aftermarket, Non-Polaris winch mount that works with the integrated winch mount system on the current 570’s? Just want to know if they are available yet.

Hello everyone, I am in the market for a 2wd honda rancher. I would like to buy new, but the prices on ones that are even a few years old and have been sitting on the showroom floor new are still high. I found this one for sale and am wondering if this is a good price for this atv.

2007 Honda Rancher 420 EFI 4X2, 383 miles

It has had 2 previous owners. The first one used it for plowing snow and the second didn’t ride it much. I was surprised by how many few miles it had and how many hours. (350 miles and 80 hours) Also, does anyone know where to find one new for a reasonable price in the wisconsin area? Thanks in advance.
