Header Pipes and Exhaust Pipe Glowing Red (ADVICE PLZ)

2016 570 SP 2-up 1000 km/620 miles on it

Posting this for my brother…..He had wrapped his header and exhaust with titanium wrap (but installed his heat shield over it). After a quick ride we noticed a red glow coming from the engine area, looked closer and seen a couple of missed spots glowing red hot (temp gun showed temps around 450c/870f). Thinking that can’t be normal he removed the wrap, took it for a ride and it came back glowing red again….Is that normal? Should he be worried?

Possible electrical problem?

2006 Hawkeye 300 2×4.

The battery has been bad since I got it a couple months ago and I have just been using the pull start with no problem. My daughter was riding around the neighborhood and I thought I would pull the battery, charge it up and check the voltage and what-not. She pulled in the driveway, still running I pulled the battery and then she took off down the street. She got about 100 yards out and it sounded like it backfired and died. I went down there and couldn’t get it started so I pushed it back to the garage. It wouldn’t start and smelled like something electrical was hot or burned. The noise Im not sure if it was backfire or maybe an electrical pop now. I put the battery back in and still wouldn’t start. I put the battery on the tender and it was around 6v this morning when I checked it. Do these have to have the battery (good or bad) in to run correctly? What should I check to find what went wrong and isn’t running now? I have a battery from my Seadoo that I could wire up for temporary. Any ideas?

1988 trail boss Vin lookup and throttle cable

I am new here. I recently bought what was told to be a 88 trail boss in great shape. I can’t seem to find the model number. Might have found the VIN 1331706. Can seem to find the right spot to check for vin on polaris site. I am basically needing the trottle cable for this machine. It looks like for 88 the cable is not available . Would a 89 or any other year work? I can find those. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

New Member, New Question

Greetings, I just purchased a 2016 Polaris Sportsman 570. I’m trying to identify the specifications on the exhaust as far as noise output (Decibel rating).

I’ve been unable to locate the information on that. My overall goal is to add have the equipment as quiet as possible for an upcoming elk hunt.

While looking online, I found a third party option, but I have no basis to know if this is a good decision or a valid need.

Please advise technical specification for exhaust output.
the 3rd party option I found was from atvsilencer

1998 Transmission Troubles

Oh yeah, this 2×4 transmission grinds like crazy if you try to put it into reverse. Sounds bad in high at times as well. Changed the fluid, no better. Will any other Polaris transmission replace this one? I know the 2×4 Magnum transmissions are hard to come by.
