I recently purchased a base model 16 Polaris 570. I have never owned a fuel injected ATV and always had the reassurance of a reserve setting on other ATVs. I was able to go approximately 45 miles on a tank of gas and when the digital fuel gauge got down to one illuminated bar it started to stutter and back fire. I was able to get back home and let it cool off. I added fuel and rode again. I found the bike will run at the low level but a majority of its power is lost. I like to know how far I can go on a tank of fuel for a worst case scenario.
As I posted before, this is my first Polaris ATV and so far it’s been good. The bike has great power and Polaris’ AWD works great. We made some new trails today on our property so a majority of driving on the first tank of gas was low range.
Has anyone else checked their fuel mileage on a 570?

I recently purchased a 2016 outlander 650 xt, I want to upgrade the low beam bulbs but my owners manual says it takes H1 bulbs, but on my outlander the low beam bulbs say H11 on them? Should I buy H1 or H11 bulbs?
So today I replaced the infamous slide plate seal. Upon disassembly I discovered some doofus before me decided to use RTV to seal it. The bike idles wayyy better now and I can get it to idle lower than I could before, but when i stab it, it will not return to idle for at least 30 seconds. It did this before, prompting me to replace the seal. I installed it correctly, with the seal facing the right way and the hole in the correct position.
42.5mm bore 04 CRF carb
3rd clip from the top NCVQ
Either a 40 or 42 pilot do not remember exactly.
Before the idle would need to be lowered as the bike got hot. I havent had an opportunity to get it hot as it was raining and I am low on fuel.
I am thinking it is an air leak, but I can’t seem to find it.
Any ideas???
Don’t mind the rattle it is the horseshoe on my bumper
hello guys im new here i bought a 96 honda ex300 since about a week
i still dont know about the ATV that much but i understand in mechanism
so the thing is i bought used honda ex300 with a new motor
so what i did tried to maintain it but checking oil,air filter etc…
i noticed that the ATV is low on oil so i went and bought thick 10w40 semi synthetic
added some and fueled it up with 98 octane
so i started to notice white smoke on high revs
either way the ATV runs perfect it goes fast and engine sound is great
however that one thing the white smoke that comes out
i called and asked the guy that i bought the ATV from and asked him if the piston rings are good or they need to be changes he told me everything is new in the motor probably because u mixed semi synthetic oil with synthetic oil
so i appreciate if someone could help me find out what is the exact issue here
or piston rings or fuel or oil
Currently I have a 2011 big bear 400 it gets me where I need to go slowly but surely lol and I’m looking to get a new grizz/kodiak it will be this fall before I have the money saved up so it might be a 2017 model by then ? Not sure when the new models will come out I live on a large 900+ acre farm so there are long roads and the big bear is just to slow 40 miles an hour tops so it wouldn’t be uncommon for me to go 55 or more what’s the top speed on the kodiak? I don’t really mud a lot I don’t like it wears out brakes and makes a mess but I love the on command 4×4/4×4 lock and the kodiak only has limited slip if I get a kodiak it will be an eps version or if a grizzly it would have to be without EPS I read the only difference between the two as far as the engine and transmission goes is the clutch weights are heavier on the kodiak can you swap these for grizzly clutch weights? Also do most dealers come off msrp if so how much? Thanks in advance just trying to decide witch one will suit me best!

Hello everyone!
Back in ’99 I bought a new sportsman 500 and have had it ever since. In 17 years I have only ever changed the oils, greased it and ridden it. I’m not hard on it, but I don’t baby it either. Polaris makes a great machine! It quit last fall and I just got around to getting it in the garage and working on it. I had to replace the stator and it now runs fine. (I also replaced the belt, as it was a bit worn, as one would imagine!) My AWD hasn’t worked for a few years, and it was in researching that issue that I found this forum, and it’s a goldmine of good information. I got the AWD working now by bypassing the speedometer. (The speedo quit about 6 months after the warranty expired, and I see no reason to spend $350+ on a new one that may or may not last). Anyway, great forum, and it’s already saved me a ton of time and money, so thanks to everyone!
