Sportsman 850 ride quality

I’ve only had my ’13 850xp eps for 4 days. I thought the ride was very smooth when I did a test ride but as the terrain I’m riding gets tougher I’m really pleased. The only quads I have to compare it to however are my old ’94 sportsman 400, honda 400ex, yamaha grizz 660. The grizz I’ve ridden recently. It was more like riding a horse…it’s bouncy and your butt gets tired and sore after awhile. Plus it has a lot of vibration. Maybe it was just this particular 660. The 850 is like riding a sofa. It’s so comfy and the oem suspension really does a great job absorbing roots and such. Can’t wait to get home to ride it.

’96 magnum questions.

Hi All,

Did all ’96 magnum 4×4 425 come with pull starts? I do not see one on mine, just what looks like a plug.

Is there some sort of parking brake on these or do I just leave it in gear?

Looking for an owners manual because I know nothing about these machines. Can’t find a thing on the Polaris website.

Pink Decals

hi all, my wife seen a recon like hers but with pink racks and has to have pink racks now. last weekend I pulled them off lightly sanded them and will begin painting them this weekend (if it is warm enough). my question is, since i’m doing that I thought I might as well go all the way and add pink decals and grips as well. BUT I cannot find any anywhere!!! does any of you guys and gals know where I can find some? I have not looked for the grips but pretty sure I can find them. BTW it is a 2014 Honda Recon. thanks

Enclosed Trailer

Hey Grizzly Central,

Any folks on here using an enclosed trailer to haul/store their toys?

I’m looking at a 6×12 enclosed trailer and wondered what are some things to look for. I was looking at a 6×10 but the local trailer dealer has a 6×12 for $100 bucks more, it’s a no brainer.

I was looking at the 2017 Pace 6×12 Journey SE

Where to start…

I just received a 96 Sportsman from a family member who passed away. It’s not in terrible shape, but it is in dire need of some maintenance. What all should I be looking at to change? Obviously oil and I had planned to flush the coolant out and put new stuff in. Just looking for any other input on what to look for.

Thanks

Out of state sales tax???

I live in Alabama and a dealer in Tennessee has dirt cheap prices on Polaris vehicles. I plan on paying cash in all 100$ bills. I know that I would not have to pay tax in Tennessee at the time of purchase. Alabama does not require atvs to be registered. How would Alabama know if I purchased out of state if paid in cash?
