I have a sportsman 500 ho 2013. Over 9500 miles it won’t die. I paid 5699 can best bike I ever owned. You won’t be sorry I will buy a 570 next probably
I'm looking at a Polaris Sportsman 450 for my wife and daughter. It seems all these ATVs are huge in physical size these days. Been a Honda guy myself because my uncle used to own a Honda Dealership. He's retired so now I'm looking at other mfgs. We've kind of narrowed it down to the Sportsman 450 and the Honda Rancher. How is the Sportsman to work on?
Had a 2012 Sportsman 500 that I puchased new. I sold it and bought the 2024 Sportsman 450. Was worried about power but found that this thing has more than enough for my riding and I am a big man. The ride on the new 450 is great and an improvement over the older 500 that I had. And by the way, I sold the 2012 Sportsman 500 to a friend. Told him should probably change the drive belt because it still had the original belt it came with. When he removed the drive belt he said it still looked as new and just put if back on.
Got the same machine, same color.....LOVE IT ! I had the same issue with the reverse but I just shift more careful and it seems fine. The most useful tool I ever had for working my land......Happy Riding !! 👍
Always best to have it on because you never know when a rock or downed tree will catch your rotor or sprocket. I went for a ride once without a skid plate and bent my sprocket right sideways. Was not a fun night haha
Congratulations on the new wheeler. Polaris has a long line of accessories, of course Amazon and such have cheaper versions to save some cash. I pressed that Sub button so I don’t miss future episodes and see how it holds up. I had Polaris before my C Force machine. Have a great weekend.
Thank you for the sub I appreciate it! And yeah I’ll definitely be posting further videos on it. And that’s how I usually am buying the cheaper stuff on eBay and Amazon haha
Had the same issue with the transmission getting stuck between gears on my 570 trail. I used mine to plow snow so it happend a lot even when being aware of the issue and trying to make sure it was in reverse before giving it gas. Also the clutch was really noisy on mine when engaging at really slow speed it sounded horrible. But I did enjoy it overall, they do have good power and the trail looked sweet. Good luck with yours!
Nice. I have a 2020 sportsman 570 has about 2500kms on it runs awesome. Also use it year round plowing snow and ripping around in summer. Great machines
Better to compress the suspension with a ratchet strap so the rear axle, swing arm pivot and the transmission shaft are on the same plane - at that point adjust the chain for 5/8 inch of free play half way between the front and rear sprockets.
