Adrenaline filled is how we choose to describe the 6th annual Discount Tire Rally on the Rocks in Moab, Utah!

Along with some amazing wheeling with absolutely gorgeous scenery, we made awesome new friends, participated in a trail restoration project and gave away fantastic products from Rage Tires and Wheels. There were over 1,100 participants that made it to the event and in all we raised nearly $5,000.00 through our sponsored raffle benefiting the local sheriff department and TreadLightly! Needless to say, we can’t wait to go back!

See the ride reports linked below for daily recaps from our sponsored trail runs and for additional photos from the event, check out the slide show linked HERE. We’ll see on the trail!

I just purchased my first Polaris, a 2004 Sportsman 500 HO. I found it on CL, it wasn’t running, the owner thought it needed a starter. During inspection he told me that he got it from a guy in Miss. and it had been floaing upside down in his basement for a couple days. The motor turned when I pulled it, so $700 later it was in my shop. I drained and changed all the fluids, cleaned the carb up, and replaced the battery. Still no power, I found a broken wire to the run/off switch, still nothing. Replaced the solenoid, and finally got it running. Smoked a lil at first, then cleared up, and no knocks or rattles. I rode it for a day with no problems, then yesterday it started flashing Hot Engine. No boiling over, or steaming, rattling, or loss of power. The fan is coming on in 2 second bursts, mostly when I cut it off. I said all that to say this, can i Straight wire the fan to run all the time, or will that cause a charging problem? Or, can I wire the fan trough a toggle switch, and install a manual temp guage so I can manually turn the fan on when needed, or will that cause some sort of issue with the ECU not reading the temp? If I can install a manual guage what temp should this machine run at? Or, could it be that there is an electrical problem from water damage with the ECU, and how would I diagnose that? All the other instraments seem to work fine. Sorry for the long post on my first question, just trying to give all the info. This is my first liquid colled electronic quad. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Hey guys who here is running a HighLifter Kit? Just curious if you are experiencing any issues/problems due to the additional height resulting in an increased axle angle NOT human error like "going nuts", :rofl:

I measured with and without the kit, it appears to be more like a 1 1/2" increase not 2", did you guys get the same results? :happy2:

Alright guys so I just bought kenda kutter xc front six ply tires and am looking to upgrade the rears as well but cant decide on a tire, so here are the options Ive been looking at:

kenda kutter xc rears to match the fronts- only downside is that I have heard these have too much grip for a 400, so anyone with these tires want to chime in?

ITP holeshot standard tires- these are cheap and only 4ply

ITP holeshot GNCC tires- these are expensive but look to have larger and fewer tread knobs than the standard holeshots

Maxxis Razr- not a big fan of them, cant drift very well

Looking for tires that I will be able to have good traction in trail riding- everything from rocks and hard dirt to sand dunes, ideally six ply, that i can get sideways on with a stock 400.
Thanks for any input!

With the current rebates I am thinking about pulling the trigger on either a 450 HO or a 570. One dealership I was at said the new models will be introduced soon and in the dealerships by July or August. He said they usually have a good deal on the left over 2016’s once the 17’s are shipped. He didn’t know if it would be as good as the current $1000.00 rebates or not. Curious what your guys past experience is. I’m a total newbie to the ATV game. Is it worth the risk to wait a few months or should I jump on the current rebates that end in a few weeks?
I was originally planning to purchase in a few months because I have one bill I am paying off. I have a decent down payment put back. Once the rebates were announced I was considering buying now to take advantage of the savings.

Hey all. I just broke my grizzly back out after about a month of sitting since my last ride. Let her warm up and ran her around my property. When I really hit the throttle she didn’t have near the power it’s supposed too. Couldn’t break 25mph. Sounds like it does when the belt gets wet and slips. I did get it wet last ride and she slipped on me. Do I need a new belt? Or is this a worse problem?
