I recently purchased a new 570 Sportsman. I am not new to four wheeling as I have been riding a Polaris 400 Xplorer 4×4 since I purchased it new in 95. I just felt I was due for a new one. But I have to admit I like the old one for riding better.

I live in Northern Wisconsin and there are ATV trails everywhere. When leaving my driveway, I am on an ATV/snow mobile trail. So I can just jump on the wheeler and go.

The new Sportsman has me a little concerned I have to admit. I rode it about fifteen miles and went home with it because I was sure I could smell something burning. Once home I called the dealer and they assured me it was just because the machine was new.

So my next plan is to get a winch and snow plow for the machine. Also is the extended warranty worth it? With the smell of burning it did make me think that if I work the machine hard in the winter, maybe something would break. Anything to watch out for?

Thanks,

Dave
