They replaced the voltage regulator and so far it’s been working fine again. Maybe the first EPS unit fried it somehow when it went bad, Idk. I’m just hoping this is the end of my problems with it. 

Looks really nice! Thanks for the pics!

Gotcha, from what I can tell they perform as well as the factory EPS units but take at least half a day to install. I’ll let you know if I end up getting it done on my wheeler. 

I jumped mine before so it was able to be activated in high low and reverse. It just needs 12v so you can tap in easily. 

Never had that issue with either of my 570’s. 

Nice work!

Were they set stiffer or softer when they wore out?

Having similar issues with a 2018 SP but no recalls or fixes for the 2018 models yet. Polaris should have corrected this on their own!!

Looking good!

Did the dealer help you out or were you able to resolve the fuses blowing?

Were you able to diagnose the problem?

Can you post pictures of the finished product? Thanks!

Did you get the kit installed? I’m considering adding SuperATV’s power steering kit to my 2016 Sportsman 570 and was wondering how the install would go. 

Congratulations! Nice looking wheeler!

Thanks for posting this! 

Any indication prior to the head blowing? Also, follow up on if they were warped?

Nice write up. Will definitely try this method next time I have to align my wheeler!

I have a 2018 Sportsman 570 SP Hunters Edition. I bought the quad new in August of 2018 and put around 20 miles on it with no issues. In early January of this year the quad was acting as if it had a bad battery even though it had been plugged into a tender. I checked the battery and it tested well so I took it to the dealership for warranty service. They had it for almost a month. They determined the quad had a bad EPS unit and swapped it out. Then they told me that the wire for the EPS needed to be updated as they could not program the new unit with the old wire. After the wire came in dealership told me they were still having troubles programming. After another week and a half they told me that they had consulted several times with engineers from Polaris and found a workaround and that the quad was ready for pickup. I contacted Polaris to inquire about the warranty being extended as it was in the shop for a month. They extended the 6 month factory warranty for an additional 3 months. I picked the quad up and the dealership said that the 2018 SP editions were known to have issue a with the EPS units but believed that they had fixed mine. I had it back for around a month and took it out a couple times for short rides and everything seemed fine. I parked it again for a few days and when I went to start it same issues (acting like the battery is no good and won’t start, when I jump start no power steering). Took it back to dealership and waiting to hear what the diagnosis is this time as well as their plan to fix this permanently. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues similar to mine or can give me some advice. Thanks in advance!
