I started out looking at a Can-Am XMR 1000r.
Then I decided that i just couldn’t afford 16K for a 4 wheeler. So i played around with the builds and what not on the Can-Am site, and came to the conclusion that I was going to go with a Can-Am 570 XT. 48 Horsepower V-Twin, with Power steering, winch, front and rear bumpers. Beautiful machine, but Can-Am dropped their free 5 year warranty, and their prices are just HIGH compared to others. I realize that you get what you pay for, but I am just not looking to spend 10K if I don’t have to.
Polaris offered these 1000 dollar rebates on Sportsman 450/570 models and I got looking at their site… I really like the Sportsman 850. What a sweet ride. And with their rebates right now the 850 Base model is $8499. After rebate $7,699.00 Which is a GREAT price for an 850cc Big Bore ATV. Surely would love the 1000, but again, it’s over the 10K price tag.
The real deal right now is on the 570.
Base Model = 6599 after rebate 5599 (Now that is a great price on a nice ATV).
Even the 570 EPS is 7499, after rebate… 6499 6499 for a sweet bike with Power Steering, selectable 2×4 / AWD.
I did call a Kawasaki dealer… He says he can get me into a Prarie 750 V-Twin WITH power steering for 7599 add freight and set up which is 195 + 65 and im still at 7860… 7860 fora 750 VTwin with Power steering…
So this is my dillemma… it’s like one price leads right into the other…. and im stuck at "Just buy the biggest most expensive one… or don’t buy any" The way the prices work out, I can’t help but feel like i’ll have buyers remorse once I get the thing home… THe first time something happens and im in a situation without enough power i’ll be kicking myself saying "Shoulda just went with the big Can Am you wanted in the first place"
So anyone else find themselves in this situation? Can anyone chime in with any words of encouragement or any past experiences going one way or the other?
Can anyone help me? I’ve hear of people replacing the stock 300 cam and chains with big red cam and chains. Is this possible and if so does it matter what year model big red the parts have to be for it to fit in the 300?
Hey guys! New to the forums. I have been lurking for a couple weeks as I have been researching a new ATV. Lots of great info, and some awesome reads on here.
Where I live we get a lot of snow, and there is LOTS of farm land, as well as being right at the food of the Adirondack Mountains. (Largest park preserve in the nation). So there is lot of room for riding around here.
I specifically joined this forum, because I have a lot of questions about Polaris ATV’s. One minute they sound great, then I’ll have someone or some youtube video telling me otherwise. But.. the numbers don’t like. Number 1 selling ATV of all time.
Looking forward to seeing you guys around, and talking ATV Shop! One of my favorite past times!!

I’m Installing the pcv5 on my 850 xmr and I’ve got up to the crank position sensor. Can anyone help? A pic of the connection I need to undo would be nice. Any help will be appreciated.
I recently purchased a 1997 Trailblazer and absolutely hate the rear brake set up. Can I swap out the swing arm, with the axle brake, off a newer TB? Or can the ’97 swingarm be modified to accept a caliper?
And has anybody installed a steering stabilizer on a TB250? Where can I find one?
Thanks
Just got a 2015 570 and fixing to add a 2 inch lift. Was wondering if I could fit a set of light weight 30s like the outback xts or Zillas. Will all be 30-9. Clutch kit will come later just wondering if it’ll rub at all. Thanks so much!
I have a 1995 Yamaha Big Bear 350 All time 4×4. Recently while riding, I lost my rear drive. I never heard any noise at all and when picked up, the rear spins smoothly with no noises out of ordinary. I’m trying to take apart rear differential but I’m having problems getting axle ring nuts off. This seems like a dumb question to be but what direction do they spin to come off? While standing behind it, do I turn them up, towards front of bike, or down, towards rear of bike? Please help, I need to figure out what may be needed to fix problem!!!
