Very nice machine. The sticker says 500cc, but these actually have SAME engine in them as the 570, it is just detuned some. That Single Cylinder engine detuned the way it is, runs SMOOTH and will last FOREVER. That is def. one of the nicest 450's I have ever seen. It's funny when you said that you had to 50 mph im sure a lot of people are like "thats not fast" but 50 mph on an ATV is PLENTY fast enough. There is very few instances when a person has any reason to go that fast. I Have a 2016 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP, but In a lot of ways, I kind of wish I had gone with the 570. I like the extra power of the Twin Cylinder engine, but it sucks fuel like its going out of style. Honestly, I miss my old Yamaha Grizzly. The day they make a grizz with a V-Twin, i'll own one , and that will be the ultimate machine.
JackG79 , Thanks for the comments. I've been thinking about getting another one and it's funny you say you have an 850 because I was debating on that or the actual 570 . Decisions decisions.....haha I'll be adding stuff to this one soon as well and I'll make another vid of the add ons.
I just bought a new velocity blue 2017 450 today at my local dealer for $3699. they have the factory authorized rebates going on now to clear the 17 models. one of the best deals I ever got..
T- Money lol, we rode it for three hours when we got home with it. awesome machine. I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Yours looks awesome with the tires you have.
Flippin' Daddy , thanks! I just called my local dealer and they aren't selling any for that price you got.....may I ask what state and dealer you used to get that price?
You should do an update video to this one. Explain how you like the tires, power loss from bigger size, did you need to change clutching? Its a beautiful machine and i just ordered the same tire/wheel combo for my atv also. Im sure people would like to see some more videos. You did a great job with this one.
Thanks for the compliments , I finally got a new GoPro , updated video soon to come. Also got a 2017 570 I’ve done some work to and will make a video of it as well.
Hey man just curious how your clutch has held up with those 28” tires after a year or so of having them on, did you wind up doing a clutch kit and how many miles have you out on roughly with those tires on? Thanks a lot!
How did the stock clutches hold up? Have you had the tires under extreme load (heavy mud) ? I’m looking at a new 450 just hate the stock wheels, this machine looks fantastic
Nice looking Bike !! Just to help you out it falls in the 500cc class, it actually has a 567cc engine tuned down to 450 the same as the 570 model. Also the clunking around you feel with the atv, at low speeds you should be in Low gear (between 5 - 25 MPH) and High gear above that. It almost all goes away.
Nope sorry, stepped my game up to the 2018 sportsman highlifter 1000xp with alot of upgrades! Still building it so it will be a little bit before I get a video of it
Well not sure if he ever replyed bck to you..But i just found them wheels i think......www.ebay.com/itm/POLARIS-SPORTSMAN-450-14-STI-HD3-BLK-ALUMINUM-ATV-WHEELS-COMPLETE-SET4-POL3CA/123514328883?epid=2184031774&hash=item1cc2071733:g:-VkAAOSwEvZb~EHm:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!79415!US!-1
Turbo 2 , didn’t think about that until after this video, should have known seeing’s how I have a lifted truck and bigger tires on it and it’s 5mph off.
James Stinnette it's worth every penny. I got the winch, front and rear discussed, and some big bad ass STI HD7 orange wheels with Maxxis Big Horn 2.0. I'm 6'3" and almost 300lbs and it moves me just fine:)
A Blazer , clutch handles them fine, as far as spinning on pavement it won't but it will on anything off-road but you better hold on cuz they grip like crazy! Haha
I have the same quad only in blue. And I was gunna upgrade the wheel an tires. So could you send me the spec on the size wheels an tires you put on yours. I tried to put the wheels from my son's 800 sportsman on mine they where 14s but they wouldn't fit over the hub like the 12s do. Any suggestions??
T- Money I just bought a The same ATV and I am interested in putting on similar rims and tires. Do you by chance know what the offset is of the rim? Also, how is the line-x holding up? Any issues with fading or chipping off?
I looking at putting 25x10x12 all the way around on my 2018 sportsman 450 Ho. But I was wondering will the front be wider than the back?? Yours looks pretty even, please help!! Lol
Jose enamorado , not sure about the 2018 specs, I have 10 inch wide and they are even all the way around. Be careful with going wider then 10 because the fitting is kind of tight. Hope this helps
Stacey Miller , yes, I let my 11 year old daughter pick this one for her first and she loves it. We both ride on it from time to time with plenty of room and comfort.
T- Money your exactly right you like Polaris I like Honda everyone’s all happy lol that’s what makes this world spin brother it would be boring if we all liked the same thing
And it should hold up for some time. The Polaris has great low end grunt, at least my buddy 500 did when we switched for a day. Handled a little rougher then the King but great get up and go.
Got them off of one of my buddies that wrecked his , they only had 2 rides on them, im pretty sure you can buy them just about anywhere that sells atv stuff.
James Stinnette , it will definitely get up and go, but of course the 570 would be better as far as that goes. I got this one for my 11 year old daughter and I'll be getting the 570 for myself. They are identical except the engine in the 570 is a 567cc.
450 HO is a 500cc the 570 is 567cc. Dont think the extra $1,000 is worth only 67cc bigger engine. Same bodies but 450 does have 1 inch smaller tires. Not a big deal for me i just bought new bigger tires anyway. (Bigger than the 570 aswell) . I got 2020 450 H.O
GARDEN TRACTOR GEEK , it all comes down to personal preference. If this helps......that clicking noise is only when the clutch first engages at low rpms, it's not an all the time thing and it really isn't anything....lol
Why don't you consider the 500 Suzuki. I can attest to its durability and it has EVERY option you could want with true diff lock. Just saying, LOL. Polaris looks great BTW
