2015 sportsman 570 shutting off

Trying to fife out the problem with my 570 I flipped it a few days ago but everything is ok runs good starts right up feels normal but I’ll be riding now an out of nowhere big just turns off I try to start is right back up it just runs for a sec an stalls then cranks an cranks an won’t start. Then I left it sit for a few min an fires right up like normal an drives good again. Ben trying all day to figure it out. Please help if you have the knowledge. Thanks.

Shock Adjust on 2016 570

I had my new bike out for a wheelie trip today. Had my wife on the back and the people behind us noticed how low we were sitting. I was told to tighten up the shocks. When I looked at them they were on the softest setting. Just wondering if anyone has tightened their up for the same reason I am going to and what setting to go to?

I basically go from 10" of ground clearance to 4" when we are both on board. Buddy. Told me to tighten all the way? What’s everyone think?

Softer Grips and Throttle Extender or Twist Grip?

My hands get sore while riding and I’m wondering if softer grips would make much difference. Pro-Taper Pillow Top ATV Grips have good reviews at Rocky Mountain.com. Any other suggestions?

My right hand gets more sore than my left and that is probably because of the squeeze from my thumb pressuring my fingers. For this I’m considering a twist grip. The Handy Throttle from Cabela’s seems popular. It is a twist mechanism that operates the thumb lever. The thumb lever can still be used instead of the twist grip.

A disadvantage of this twist throttle is the grip foam looks real thin.

Another option is a throttle extender. This attaches to the throttle lever and makes it longer. It gives you much more leverage and it is a cheap option. ColemanĀ® Nonslip Thumb Assist Pro : Cabela’s

I road a motorcycle for several years so I am inclined to get a twist grip but the thumb extender looks like a good cheap simple option too.

Thanks for any comments.

Tactical black wear ?

Hi,
I am going to purchase a 2016 Grizzly next week. How does the matte black hold up ? it looks great sitting there in the show room but the finish seems soft, just lightly touching it with my finger nail seams to put a permanent mark in it and I know atv’s get scratched I’ve owned many although this is my first Grizzly. My second option is this painted grey. Thanks in advance for any replies.

09 rincon

Hi all new to site. Purchased an 09 Rincon with 167hrs. My question is it seems when I really get into the throttle it has a knock/rattle. From right side of motor? Once idled down it sounds fine? Thanks for any responses.
