Lurking for a few months.

Hey all Mike here. Been lurking here and a couple of other forums trying to learn what I could about my first Atv. So anyway I bought my first not long ago. It was everything you could ask for in a 4 wheeler. It rode well, climbed well, pulled others out when needed, kept up with bigger machines and, would even get stuck if you said please. But something was missing……….. The wow factor.so, yesterday I traded it in on a 15 Outlander 800xt. Pick it up Saturday and, will take it for its maiden voyage on Sunday. Anyway looking forward to learning more about this rig.

Hello from Northern Nevada

Hello Everyone,

I want to make my welcome post simple, so I am not asking for help, yet. Later, I will be all over that subject…

At any rate, I am from Reno, NV, have two new quads, and have been hitting those VERY rocky trails we have around here. My travels are mostly to see rocks, and on my 2500 sq mile survey done by car, I missed a few places. Hopefully the quads will get me closer.

BTW, my last ATV was Russian made, seen in my avatar, and it lasted 10 years of -40C winters. The drive to work was just over 300 miles on ice roads.

Loud clunking noise when using hand brake.

Hello everyone, I have a 2015 sportsman with about 110 miles on it. Took it into the dealer where I bought it from with the problem that when i use the hand brake(pulling it hard as if you had to stop suddenly) I get alot of clunking and clanking coming from the quad from what sounds like the front, told them the problem they looked at it for 2 days and said there is nothing wrong with it and that its normal…can anyone confirm this for me?

Thank you!!!

What are brand new stock tires and wheels worth?

I’m wanting to upsize my tires on the sportsman XP 1000 I’m buying,I asked the dealer what he’d give me for my stock ones,before I even get it,he mentioned $100-200 plus 10% off a new set. I think it should be more,what do you guys think I should get for them! This was actually the parts guy that quoted the $100-200 for my stock wheels and tires

New from Central Florida

I recently purchased a new 2016 Sportsman 570 in sage green. This is my first Polaris ATV, but so far I like it. I’ve been reading several posts and the information is great. I look forward to the reading and learning from others experience. I sold my Suzuki z400 a few years back and have missed it ever since. I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things and look forward to ATVing again.
