Went to do the shim mod back on used a impact to get it snug and then I used a torque wrench to make sure and it was but then I took it off and now the sleeve won’t come off and its hard to spin by hand. Did I mess something up

So I bent my tie rod and steering column. The column I just bent back and has been ok. The tie rod needs replacing. Should I go after market or oem?
And I’ve heard the oem ball joints at the end of the tie rods are the best.
So any suggestions?

I need a picture of one on a 570, please.
It is a Bison bumper.

I’ve been wondering this for a while; can the oil be changed on a Polaris Sportsman without having to remove any of the plastics? I can do it fine on my Outlander, but just glancing over my brother-in-law’s ’14 Sportsman 400 HO and my son’s ’15 Sportsman ETX everything seems to be tucked away behind more plastic than my Can Am.

Hey guys I noticed the rear wheels on my outlander are toed in and the right one alittle more than the left. I’m worried the frame might be tweaked any other opinions? If it’s not one things it’s another…:th_smiliefrustrated

Where I live has always been scarce for Polaris so I was just wondering if it’s the same for you guys?

First off, I live in a small town in Virginia so if we want something besides groceries, gas, or fast food we have to travel. The nearest city to me is 30 minutes south, and the next closest city is is 45 minutes north.

In January my son’s Polaris had a warranty issue and rather than travel the hour and a half back to the dealership that I bought it from I tried the one that was in the city 45 minutes north of me. The guy told me that he was closing down at the end of January and didn’t want to get caught up in any possible long-running warranty issue. So that was my closest dealer, and now that he’s closed the closest dealership(s) are about an hour and a half south of me in Greensboro, NC.

A guy I work with said that a Polaris dealership was going to open in May in the city 30 minutes south of me that I mentioned, but I asked him the other day if they were still opening and he told me it fell through. One of the would-be partners owns the Toyota dealership in the city, and Polaris wanted him to put his Toyota building up as collateral, and he said he wasn’t doing that. The lone ATV dealership that is there sells everything but Polaris and Arctic Cat; they sell Can Am, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.

There seems like a Polaris dealership would be a prime business in this area since there’s none close by now, but based on the one closing and the other dealers not carrying them makes me wonder what’s going on. Is Polaris’s requirements for dealers harder or something? I know when I used to be into BMX bicycles I had a small bike shop owner tell me he couldn’t sell GT bicycles because they required him to purchase, I think, 500 in a year’s time, and he said he just couldn’t invest in that many.

The other thing I noticed about the Polaris dealerships that did exist around here was that they existed on their own. The one I mentioned that was 45 minutes north of me that closed was solely Polaris. And a few years ago there was a Polaris dealer in the city 30 minutes north of me, but they were mainly a John Deere dealership. The ones in Greensboro, NC are sold with other brand ATVs, however.

All I really need is the left crank case cover but found a whole engine minus the smaller outside covers on eBay for $275 . I was going to just swap and use mine as a spare. Is this a good deal?

Just got this and been getting it ready to ride. Thing is it runs great at higher rpm but at idle it seams to be flooding out, and the idle is way to high. Put in new plug. checked everything including cleaning carb. The float in this one seems to be kinda wore.. someone removed the cap of the mixture screw. I have no idea of where to set it. With it on the engine I can’t figure how to get to it. Took it off and set the screw at 2 1/2 turns. Still runs rich at idle. from a good smooth run down to a high rpm idle and ruff running while sitting still. won’t idle down to normal rpm…staying about 2600 or so when sitting still or in neutral. Any idea of what I should do to fix this?
