Rob, I totally respect your ability to fix things with any available parts "lying" around, and use your ingenuity to re-purpose them and alter them to make them fit and work.  I wish I had more of that ability.

I only use my quad for 3 or 4 outings per year...hit the trails in the deep bush, in northern Ontario.  I have yet to do anything to my 570, except I've changed all the fluids already (engine oil twice).  I have approx 1200 kilometers on it (in 4.5 years), so I should be good for another 100 years approx hahaha.  The only thing I've noticed so far is that one of the grease nipples on the lower rear A-arm is stripped and came out when I pulled the grease gun off of it, I will have to fix that.  I love this quad!!

Take care buddy, nice talking to you, hope you're doing ok in this crazy times!!!

Dave

Did you ever get this fixed?  Was it the stator?

I guess probably no need to mention to check all the fuses first?

Whoa!!  20000 miles on a 2017?  You get around!! :-)

My girlfriend has a 2017 450 HO, we bought it new for her when I bought my 570 Sportsman (2017 also)...hers has 245 kilometers on it now LOL...still has the little rubber nubbies on the original tires, quad isn't even broken in yet.

But anyway, if you have 20000 miles on yours, it means they are very good, reliable quads!

Have you had any other problems with it?

Dave

Lobe worn flat on the cam. these models had issues with that. New cam and lifters and start running oil with as high zinc/phosphorous content or add ZDDP additive to your oil.

I think maybe this is what I'd check next...

This is great, I'm going to need to use this method soon.  Thank you very much!!

We got the sportsmen 570 

the recall was for a senser 

plus the back bumper that came with it was on back order.

the dealer had to install it

Hopefully that's the last problems for a while...I guess you're probably lucky to have gotten this quad at all, I've heard that there is a really short supply of new quads these days.

I really love mine...small and nimble, yet powerful enough for most any trail.  Deep mud holes could use a bit more power, but I don't mind using the winch now and then :-)

Oshawa Ontario!!  Whoot, whoot!  2017 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS, she gets rode hard :-)

If anybody is still around on this forum, I live in Oshawa and go up to Haliburton once in a while...hoping to do the Goat Trail on May 7th, see attached map...it's a very difficult, technical trail.  I did most of it a few years back, just a total blast.  Winch mandatory :-)  Just reply to me here if you think you're interested...

14 years in the future, the QuadOn apps solves all theses problems....

I will have to check out this app.  Hoping to do the Goat Trail on May 7th...they call it "the most difficult trail in Haliburton".  Should be a hoot.  Anybody in the Toronto / Oshawa / north Ontario area want to go, you're welcome!  Map of the area is attached...Goat Trail is on the right hand side, about half way up the pic.

I just got my first polaris it is new 2022

had a recall already?

hope thats all it needs

 

Congrats, what did you buy?  What is the recall for?

I've had great luck with my Polaris, runs like a champ, takes a lot of abuse (but I take care of it, change fluids often, etc).

Hi all, my name is David, I'm a new member from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

Own a 2017 Polaris Sportsman 570, bought new...love the quad, and didn't get out enough last year.  Looking forward to getting out again this year!
