Hello from Vancouver island Canada

Just bought a used 2000 Polaris sportsman 500. Seems to be in good shape top end was rebuilt with a new cam. Starts fine. Bought it for hunting mainly when I go into the interior of British Columbia. Looking for a owners manual right now to download so I can repair if needed. Seems a little jerky when the clutch engages but then rides fine. I pretty much suspect that is normal for all ATV. Look forward to using this machine and reading all the valuable info here. Cheers

2014 Sportsman 400 H.O. Crashed with Plow

I bought a 2014 Sportsman with 400 Miles on it with "Frame Damage". Had a plow and winch and the previous owner crashed it pushing frame back a few inches.

Can anyone shoot me the measurement from the CV boot retainer forward to the frame?

This would help me get it back to original position.

Thank you.

“New” 2014 Sportsman 550 Browning LE

Local dealer has a 2014 he’s calling "new."

Craigslist posted as retail $9499, sale price of $8586. Emailed me back saying he "will also do 30 % off any accessories you want at the time of sale and there is factory financing as low as 3.9% and a full factory warranty."

I won’t need any accessories, will be paying cash, and the factory warranty is only 6 months(?).

I e-mailed back asking hours / miles.

It would be a great compliment to my recent purchase (2013 Browning 550 with 25 hours), but he’s going to have to come way, Way, WAAAAAY down in price. Heck, I can get new 570 out the door for under $7k. And used 550’s with EPS around $5,500.

I’m in no hurry to make the purchase. This would be for the wife, and her only requirements are: needs power steering, need to be as fast as my ATV 🙂

What would be a fair price for this ATV?

Made the move

I sold the Commander and bought a 2016 Wolverine E Spec Fox.
They are installing a 3500 lbs winch , half a windshield, it has a roof . Part of the deal is they keep the 26 in Bighorns and install A set of 27 in Maxis Bighorns. Hope to have it for this weekend !
It is green , was looking at your paint Trev , did you look at a Camo wrap . Move over Grizzly another Yammie coming into the stable !!
