Hey y’all new to the forum I have been eyeballing a Polaris for a while after keeping my friends in my garage for months and using it. His was a 570 ranger didn’t have enough power or ground clearance for me. I hunt a lot but also trail and mud ride a lot with my rancher which I recently sold to a friend. So for someone like me that hauls corn and stands and bow hunts year round I’ll need some space for the occasional deer hog or turkey but still I want performance and speed which would you suggest and why?
I really appreciate it
Hey guys I’m James. I acquired a 2001 Polaris 500HO about 2 years ago in a trade (now I should have kept my 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer), have ridden it some after replacing CVshafts and getting her running better. It has some major issues now and I have been debating on what I should do but I will keep that to another discussion.
My wife’s Trailblazer has been killing her battery this year. I assumed it was a bad battery but I pulled the battery and pulled started it. The lights will only work when above idle. Does this mean a bad stator?
Hey guys, I just got my first Honda a few weeks ago and now the wife wants her own toy 🙂
I came across this 250 on Craigslist for $250 and I’m going to look at it tomorrow. From what I can tell by the decals, it appears to be a 86 or 87 model. Looking at the pic the motor seems to be pretty clean and I don’t see a ton of rust on it. Rear plastic and seat obviously need help. I’ll know more tomorrow, but the post says it ran when it was parked and it will need a carb clean and oil changed. I’m sure it will need lots of attention, but it seems like a pretty good deal. What do you guys think?
Just tore into my buddies 06 Rincon. Have to quit for the day now but the valve cover doesn’t act like it wants to come off. I took out the 5, 8mm bolts and the 4 14 mm nuts. I didn’t want to budge so I took out the 210 mm bolts and I’m pretty sure hold in the rocker arms too just to make sure that wasn’t holding it in place. I got it up just enough for coolant to leak out, but can’t get it off, and don’t want to break anything. Am I missing something or just not prying hard enough?
hello everyone I have a 2015 outlander max 500 xt . I plan on purchasing the factory beadlock wheels and was wondering about tires. If I dont want to use my original tires and want to stay at factory sizes 26x10x12 and 26x8x12 are there options. I see the big horns are 9 and 11 is this the norm. also would the big horns be the best for trail riding, thats all I do here in pa. the trails have a mix of rocks,roots and mud.
Thanks Frank
Don’t believe everything your navigation system tells you
Sometimes, your portable or on-board navigation system will send you in the wrong direction or tell you to turn down a street that doesn’t exist. In the case of one woman in Ontario, Canada, her GPS led her straight down a boat launch. The 23-year-old woman missed a right turn in an area she wasn’t familiar with and accidentally drove straight into the frigid waters of Georgian Bay, according to a report from ABC News.
Katrina Rubenstein-Gilbert, a media and community safety officer for the Bruce Peninsula Ontario Provincial Police, said that the night the woman accidentally drove her car off the boat launch was “dark and stormy,” and had low visibility. The Toyota Yaris the woman was driving ended up under water because its momentum carried it well past the shore, according to Rubenstein-Gilbert. Luckily, the driver was able to roll down her window and escape before the power cut out. Police said that the woman was forced to swim 100 feet to shore in water that was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and that she had to walk to a local hotel to call for help.
According to an onlooker who was photographing the car as it was being pulled out of the water, the boat ramp leading into the bay can easily be mistaken for a street because of its width. After the vehicle was pulled out of the water, it was declared unrepairable.
Glad she is OK and is probably something her friends will never let her live it down.
I have a 2009 grizzly 550 and i know that clicking is most likely cv but i have replaced both my axels , changed gear oil , checked for anything loose on the frame and im still getting the clicking noise ive asked so many people and no one seems to know. its more of an annoyance but i would like to fix it because it definitely does not sound good. i cant really hear it if im out riding but when going slow you can hear it very loud.
Hi
Backstory: I have a ’07 500 x2. A year ago I upgraded my tires to some Maxxis ‘Zilla. I went with 26x9x12 and 26x12x12’s as per a Polaris shop…saying they would fit. well, they fit and I put maybe 15 hours on them since. I felt there was no issue, no rubbing I could feel and really didn’t even think about it because she rode like a champ.
To the present: after researching tires for my wife’s ’10 500 ho and wanting to go an inch bigger I started having trouble finding a right fit. So I kept it stock. This brought me to thinking about my machine. after some inspection I found that the tie rods are way too close to the tires and 26x9x12 don’t really fit up front. No rubbing or damage thank goodness. I know…I should have checked it before.
We ride on some open trails and some tight ones. Occasional water and some mud but we don’t go looking for that. No jumping and nothing overly aggressive.
So finally, here’s my question: how much of an issue would it be to put 30mm spacer on? I was thinking just the front? Bearing/axel damage?
I read a ton of threads and am getting even more confused because of the mixed reviews and preferences out there. Just looking for some facts.
