I have had my sportsman 500 for over 18 years and the drive system is basically the same set up as your 570. I never had an issue with anything. Never had a U-joint or CV-joint fail. The U-joints are a pain to grease, though. I can see where you don't like the plastic racks but then again, these 570 are a pretty inexpensive four wheeler.
Gary's Garage ai agree - i have 3500 miles on my 12 400HO, plow snow, ride trails and have never had any u joint issues.
These are atvs - not submarines.
Wow I was thinking the same bout the unijoint thing. Lol what's on 4x4? Same thing.
My 570 was a pos , I got rid of it . I was working on it more than I was riding it. I'll never buy a Polaris again ..
WBOS72 not close to a honda which is a sub 😎
Stella Inverso think you mean you where working in the kitchen more than you where riding daddy’s bike
I would like to sell my atv, so listen to me bash it for the next 10 minutes.
Bashing and pointing out relevant flaws are different things...
He's being honest. What more could you want?
My Dick .. well the bash earned more then the atv cost. envy?
Terrible salesman lol
You're acting like a budget wheeler should be the best thing money can buy.
It wasn’t built for a mud bike
huntforlife so basically it’s a hunk of shit
@@Miguel-fh7bv For a mud bike probably, for a recreational bike, like fun in the grass or trails, its good for that
Baer literally any atv is good at that
NeXz exactly so it’s not shit
Baer poor structure quality but handling is great on polaris, just don’t like the shifter. for trail this bike is great
These are awesome machines for the trails! Love my 570. I still have my 2004 sportsman 400 awd with 6300 miles/1000 hours and it has been reliable as hell. I wouldn't buy a quad that someone beat to shit and mudded. Right now polaris has the rebates. You can buy a new 570 for $4600. (Wisconsin)
Thats the sticker price. It'll be $5800 out the door with all the fees and taxes
@@wibaker23 thats what I just got a 2019 570 touring for! Didnt buy it to beat to shit just a casual weekend rider. $5864.21 came with a polaris 3500 winch and added hand and thumb warmers for $80 seems to be a good machine so far.
bullion bouncer I bought mine new in 2018 for deer hunting and I love it,I don’t go mudding or do stupid stuff on it!
More horsepower than a Honda of comparable size,the 570 puts out 68 horses compared to 28 on the Honda
@@michaelchristman4728 570 is 44hp and the 450 is 33hp.
I bought a new 570 in 2015 and love it. It's used year round and used by many different drivers and various ages. It's been turned over on it's side and used in a lot of mud. I've done all of the maintenance myself. Replaced 2 CV boots and a faulty master cylinder. No complaints. Would buy again.
“This bike is a turd, wanna buy it?” Lol!
It’s not a turd, just has a little girl motor on it.
It seems your dislike of this is it's not crazy off road ready.
I use mine to plow my road and to ride in the woods and it works great for that
What the hell! An honest review based on facts and tested by experience. How dare you, Sir. :)
Dude, wheelies? Are you 17 years old? That u joint angle has NEVER been a problem and I have owned 5 Polaris bikes. U joints rarely wear out unless you submerge your bike in salt water for prolonged periods and never grease them. I have a 2000, 500 with the original u joints and thousands of miles! I have never had any issues with rear axles or belts or drive shafts. Also, If you are riding in deep mud on a regular basis, you should probably buy a more powerful machine. This bike is for trails and lite farm work. BTW....if you want to sell it...focus on the positive aspects of the bike
Sorry you've never owned any bikes designed properly. this might blow your mind but the grizzly doesn't have a single u-joint That's what you call proper engineering. My 850 Polaris went through 6 u joints and a year and a half
@@MudPuppyOffroad What makes you think I haven't owned other bikes?? I have and I have ridden almost every brand out there. I just don't abuse them. For the money, a polaris 570 is about the best bike out there. Any bike will have issues eventually if you ride them in deep water or mud, or otherwise abuse them.
@@edwardl.990 They’re junk my brand-new 570 broke with under 100 miles on it. Voltage regulator which is a common problem Polaris won’t fix because they’re assholes. That’s why I have for their shit catches on fire and they don’t do nothing about it. I’ll stick with my Honda.
Mud Puppy. Great breakdown of the pros and cons on the 570. I had a loaded 2017 Hunter Edition complete with steel "rack extenders" along with steel front and rear bumpers. I thought the machine was pretty snappy and fun on the trail but it had so many pops, bangs, knocks, squeaks and buzzes that I thought it was going blow up into a million pieces at any moment! Everyone told me it was normal but I couldn't stand it. It also had more plastic than my daughter's Barby doll mansion. Anyhow, I sold it like a hot biscuit a few months ago and bought a 2018 Honda Rubicon DCT and couldn't be happier. Quality just oozes from the machine. I know you're a foot shift guy and understand your reasoning but I truly believe you'd love the DCT. It shifts smooth as butter in manual mode and the low range transfer case has to be experienced to be appreciated. Would really love to see you try one out. I know you considered it awhile back. Keep up the honest work and most of all...keep having fun !
it's not a "bike". A "bike" has two wheels a "trike" has three so...
There must be something wrong with the engine if it doesn't have enough power for you mine has tons of power however the build quality is weak. Also if you are trying to sell something you don't do it by telling everyone all the faults of the product.
Serious question... Where are all you guys from? Nothing wrong with the engine lol on paper they make 44hp at the crank. By the time that gets to the wheels after the 10-15% belt loss it's just not enough for me. My 850 on the other hand...

Is it any wonder why things don’t last…
Honda and Yamaha last just fine under those conditions :-)
@@MudPuppyOffroad But not as long.
I have a 2019 570, the blue model and its a monster in the mudd and it does amazing in the trails. But its no honda or can am and shouldn't be compared to them at all simply because of the price range. All the problems is fair in my eyes but it shouldn't be compared to them expensive power house ATV.
I got a polaris sportsman 400ho and it's a great bike very reliable over 3500 miles loves the machine I don't do that much mudding just trail riding
I've had the 450 for quiet sometime and haven't had a single problem with that. Mine is a 2018. I actually pulled out of a 4 runner that had you might as well call them racing slicks on it. I turned the AWD on and slowly let the 4 tires start spinning and then I had to get onto it pretty hard but they had a Can Am 1000 hook up to it and couldn't budge it. Then a Honda. It did start wiggling it a little. There was a Kawasaki 650. I don't know it would have done it because it was so high geared. I had to back up twice and he started coming out. I reallu wanted the Kawasaki but the price were so high. I do agree with you about the back end dipping a little to low. They were supposed to put adjustible shocks on mine but I didn't get them.
How have you had it for quite a while if it's a 2018
@@MudPuppyOffroad
2018 comes out in 2017. I bought a 2018 450 in October of 2017 on sale as the 2019's were coming out soon.
I had my 570 for 5 years never I had any iusses on trails n mudding yes I agree on cv joints could be better on it but still it's good quad
That diff and driveshaft angle shit was a real eye opener. Thank u

I think it comes down to intentions of how you ride. I’ve had 02 500HO, a pair of them that I’ve rode the p#$$ out of and had limited normal issues with, but that was when I was a bit younger. I have a pair of 2016 570 EFI that I don’t have any issue with other than heat that I fixed by wrapping the exhaust. But then again, Mama and I don’t ride like we used to 16 years ago. They are perfect for how and what we ride on.
Thanks for that perspective. Looks like this is more trail duty rather than a super swamper which is okay but its nice to know the limits and weaknesses from someone thats being straight up.
I have a 570 and I really like it for what we do, but all the points made in this video I agree with. Keep in mind you can get these bikes for about half of a new Honda so it's not built nearly as well, but you get what you pay for. Overall for the price I think they're decent bikes and I've beat the tar out of mine riding hard and it's only let me down once. My advice on these is if you're looking for a mud bike, look somewhere else, they hate water. If you want a trail bike that can do some work around the house and you don't want to spend $9000 it's a great buy. I bought my 2015 new as a left over in 2016 for $5500 with rebates and I've had a great time with it. I've been impressed with what it CAN do even with all the limitations given in this video which are accurate.
They are definitely a good buy. But not half the price of a Honda my Rubicon was 7500 OTD best I could find on a 570 was 6300 OTD. But the 570 has way more powa
You complain about the mud performance aspect of a 570 with stock polaris tires, I just bought a 450HO and the only thing I needed to do was change the tires to improve the performance in wet muddy terrain 150%, and you complain about the frame clearance when its 10 1/2 inches of stock ground clearance is the best in the industry, sounds to me like you made an impulse purchase without thinking about what you really wanted in a rig and now you blame it on the minor faults of what is essentially a starter quad, you should of gotten yourself a scrambler or just bit the bullet and went with a can am set up for mud instead of what is basically a utility/light sport quad, good luck with sale
It sold for the asking price in one day
@@MudPuppyOffroad I just found your channel and its amazing, and your responses to comments are good and funny.
He sounds like he will never be happy with any ATV, Whaaaa
what about a king quad 750? would be awesome to see a review of one going through the abuse you put your Hondas through. as well as seeing what you do to fix issues you have with it. like another guy said don't really see any reviews of one that are beat on any.
I have a KQ 750, stock except 26" tires. I do wheelies, mud, deep water, logging roads, woods, you name it except sand. Nothing stops my KQ. One of the best designed air boxes that prevent flooding. I also have a small 2x4 that I've only gotten stuck 1x and I towed it out with the KQ. Would love to see more KQ videos too. Anyways, Most people complaining about what their ATV can't do from what I've seen is from a lack of experience or just not knowing how to handle a situation. A 1000 isn't going to help you if you can't get a 570 to do what you want. I have a 2x4 300 too that I have never gotten stuck with, but a friend who never rides gets stuck all the time when he ride it. The difference, experience.
Sooooo the Polaris has multiple u joints that may break and should be made like the Honda that’s sitting on the trailer with a broken u joint.WTF
Lol the Honda's ujoint took 30 years of a abuse... No Polaris would have tolerated 1 year of what it's been through. Plus the 300 us running a ton of ujoint angle because of the lift
@@MudPuppyOffroad It’s not his fault he’s not very bright. He probably thought that 300 was built yesterday!
thanks for the heads up , these are things that every purchaser needs to look at ! You need to purchase a machine that suits the style of riding and as a long time offroader i found most machine under 750 cc have problems with deeper mud , i ride a smaller machine for the lighter weight i like narly forest trails the best and find the lighter weight to be easier to flick around but there are many things need to be done to protect any of the off the floor models they just don't come with enough protection for the type of riding to be done !
Watchin this in prep for buying a 2021 570. To me mud bogging sounds like a pain in the ass to clean. I live in colorado so ill be tearing up red dirt and a little dobe mud. I know the new 570 comes with a full bumper front and back and a few different models to choose from. The new 570 fits the budget for me and I love the setups they have available. A Grizzly 700 without upgrades is smaller in stature than the polaris. The Grizzly 700 trail edition is almost 3 grand more than the Polaris 570. They are dam near the same stance and the cost is 3k cheaper than yamaha. In all reality you are paying so much more for the 700 grizz and only really gaining 125 cc at the best.
I would love to see you try a CF Moto. You need to at least give them a look. Mine has been great so far and that has surprised me!! CV Tech clutching from the factory, rotax engines, yamaha's 4wd/diff lock system.
Polaris never seems to stop surprising me people that mechanically inclined know what's best
Best quads for the money
Awesome machines
What makes you think I haven't owned other bikes?? I have and I have ridden almost every brand out there. I just don't abuse them. For the money, a polaris 570 is about the best bike out there. Any bike will have issues eventually if you ride them in deep water or mud, or otherwise abuse them.
No idea what, you're referring to but I'm sorry you care so much
I see from your videos that you have had both this sportsman 570 and the outlander 570. It seems you didn't like the can am very much, but how would you compare it to the sportsman as far as fit and finish, power, and reliability? I am looking at the 2 seat versions of both. I will not be mudding like you do in your videos, just trail riding. Thanks!
Both are made ridiculously cheap but the Polaris had much lower gears so I would pick it better clutches too and true 4x4
1) Ill give you $4500 , (2) ill watch your video , (3) ill give you $2500)
Seems like you could have see ALL OF THAT before you spent your money genius!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I suspected most of those things however I needed to buy it to thoroughly test it in order to provide pricks like you with some good consumer advice
@@MudPuppyOffroad thats fucking hilarious love the mud puppy humor!
I have had Honda and Polaris 4 wheelers.i love them both. If you want a comfortable ride with good power that you will be riding on the trails, buy a Polaris. If you want a work horse that you can ride through the mud and last forever but doesn't ride near as comfortable with not quite as much power per cc, buy a Honda. I prefer Polaris. But I don't do much mud riding, I like trail riding. I have a 2020 Polaris 570 and a 2002 Polaris Magnum 500 4x4. The Magnum is not stock and it will outrun a Highlifter 850. My friend has one and he gets so mad when we ride and I embarrasse him in front of his girlfriend. I have had several different brands but I do like the Polaris better. I'm not sure how much I like the 570 though I haven't had it long enough.
I know this is an older video but I had to comment. This guy is pretty much
b!tching cause he couldn’t turn this trail bike into a mud buggy. It’s not Polaris fault you wanted to use this machine for the wrong application. Buy a mud buggy if you want a mud buggy not a trail bike. I have a 2001 500HO that would absolutely crush anything in its class from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki or whoever. The bike was simply ahead of its time in its day. Yes it was a trail bike not to be used as a swamp buggy or a jet ski. It couldn’t be beat on the trails. Still have the machine. Other than a carb, a few batteries, a belt and some oil changes it still runs just as strong today. I’m looking to upgrade to the 570 and after seeing reviews where the bike was used in the proper application I have no doubt it will serve the purpose it’s intended for.
Agree
I gotta give it to you man. You a are on top of your shit brother.
bicycle, also called a cycle or bike, is a human-powered or motor-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist. lets stop calling these bike im going on a strike
Yeah we get it dude. You and every other Yankee Canadian SOB comment that shit every 5 minutes... You see around here of it's got handle bars and you straddle it... it's refered to casually a bike... It's it's got a steering wheel we might still call it a bike just to mess with you morons lol
@@MudPuppyOffroad OK I'm gonna start calling your mom a bike then And I'm from Minnesota
@@braedenallen4539 I knew you were some northernern lol I found a hilarious that despite all the stupid crap y'all say this drives you crazy.
@@MudPuppyOffroad nice opinion mud cricket!
I agree that the racks really could have been setup better. I dont even mind the racks themselves being plastic, I just think they should have been mounted and secured in a better way.
They way they are made everything slides off constantly
That's why I bought my 2016 Can Am Outlander 1000R , its will go through and power out of anything.
Lol The only thing that piece of s*** will go through is rear differentials
I don't understand why anyone thinks anything will last in the mud? Mudding machines is abusing the machine. That is why "every" machine fails after being subjected to unreasonable amounts of mud and water, even honda won't survive it. These are trail machines, no dealer or company ever says..." this is a mud machine"......4 wheelers and side by sides ARE NOT BOATS!
Lol watch some more if my videos. You clearly have no idea what you're missing out on
@@MudPuppyOffroad I'm 50! I probably don't like it because you'd need a winch to get the SXS out and another one to get me out of that mud hole....LOL
Try a used King Quad 750 maybe? Nobody runs them on youtube and it would be cool to see how they hold up to your kind of abuse.
Phil3555 love mine . I think the best all around atv. And I've ridden them all.
Phil3555 check out eh tv channel he used to run a king quad dk if it was a 750 or a 500 tho
hatchet 15 He had an 08 450 King. Non PS.
hatchet 15 he had a 450 King for the longest time
Oh, did I say I worked for Honda! Lol
I’d buy it, but I’ve already got a boat anchor.
😂😂
Great bike on paper , but they're junk .. If you want to make a mistake , then buy a Polaris.
Stella Inverso I bought mine new in 2018 and love it,no problems at all,all atv’s will eventually have problems. Why didn’t he take a better look at it before he bought it?
@@stellainverso6790 Still have a 1997 Xplorer 400 on the farm still working. A 23 year old machine and it's still going strong.
Stella Inverso they're actually a great quad. just not for some idiots that think they can swamp quads without snorkels.
Mine has 600 miles on it and its had 3 cv shafts that wer dry from the factory. Both diffs leaked. It has a charging issue were it destroys a battery every 3 months or so. They say there is nothing wrong. The guage cluster gose wacko when you start it some times. They claim theres nothing wrong again. Its also snapped the weights off the clutch 2 times. Not warranteed. 900 bucks each time. It is the first polaris i have owned. I will NEVER buy another polaris.
They are made cheap. Alot more lemons come out that way ive had 4 they wete all decent
Things I hate! Battery location, transmission, difficult steering and excessive heat on right leg. However I use it to plow a mile of road in the Winter and it does it well. But I guess you get what you pay for. I also own a Yamaha grizzly 600 and Honda Rincon 650. Honda is probably the best.
Wow! i love my Honda Rincon!!!!!! no belt to slip, metal racks, legit rear diff, all rubber boots and seals, 3 speeds! auto/man, big red gear reduction kit 25% ;) radiator relocate kit, Aluminum rims with ITP mud lites, and overall light weight!
These 570 sportsmans are like a bic lighter when your done throw them away
Great review now I know why so many are for sale on Craigslist!
That ant no ly
Dude, wheelies? Are you 17 years old? That u joint angle has NEVER been a problem and I have owned 5 Polaris bikes. U joints rarely wear out unless you submerge your bike in salt water for prolonged periods and never grease them. I have a 2000, 500 with the original u joints and thousands of miles! I have never had any issues with rear axles or belts or drive shafts. Also, If you are riding in deep mud on a regular basis, you should probably buy a more powerful machine. This bike is for trails and lite farm work. BTW....if you want to sell it...focus on the positive aspects of the bike
about time someone realizes what junk Polaris is. Honda is the best!
If you owned a Polaris you’d understand. It’s all about how you ride it, I’ve had zero problems with my 450 and it’s been through plenty of mud.
@@the_450guy2 I owned a Polaris. It was in the shop so much I couldn't ride it. Maybe I had a lemon
Bobby Miller either that or you didn’t take good enough care of it but idk, tbh I beat on mine pretty hard and the only problem I had was my belt slipped but that was my fault.
@@the_450guy2 I definitely wasn't hard on it. I baby my stuff.. im not your typical atv owner. I wont take my atv in mud or water😂 I got a Honda ramcher nnow with 4k miles and not been in shop once. So Polaris just ain't my thing lol
Bobby Miller yeah I get that, my buddies Honda breaks every time he ride it so idk lol
I don’t blame ya. I bought a 570 after refusing to own a Polaris for 15 years. Had 2 in late 90s early 2000s and BOTH had major gearbox failures. Brand new my 570 clanked and had slap in the drivetrain. Apparently this is acceptable to Polaris engineers but slap in gearboxes equals a short life. I never had a Japanese bike in 20 years that had even a noticeable amount of play in the gearbox-drivetrain. Never had a Japan bike ever break on me either and we LIVED on quads everyday here in KY when I was growing up. I paid 4600 bucks for my 2016 570 base model new out the door so I’ll just ride till she blows. I am however going to put real gear oil in the rear diff-gearbox and see what happens. With the slop it has I might even pour some 75/140 in there instead of that water thin stuff Polaris recommends. Maybe it would piss them off if it actually lasts with real gear oil instead of new bike in 3-4 years. Next time I’m definitely going back to Japan made bikes I don’t care who is faster or whatever. Probably a Kawasaki or maybe a Yamaha if they have a twin by then
I hear you, My 2000 Yamaha Kodiak still runs like a charm. I've submerged, flipped it, you name it. All my Kodiak ever needs are wheel bearings, oil changes, brake pads, drive belt and occasional spark plug. I've thought about getting a Polaris, but I'll probably just buy a used Grizzly.
Well its a good thing i dont plan on using thise quad for mudding. just trail riding and having fun runnig through woods and hills
What if I don't mud? I'm sorry but I just don't see the attraction. Also, have you seen the clearance on the old frames? My 2020 is rolling over huge rocks with zero issues. If you beat the fuck out of your machine you will pay for it. Oh, and my 2020 rack doesn't move.
you just saved me 8000 euros... can't be bothered to get into the maintenance. doesn't thrill me enough.
Honestly ive been humming and haaahhhing on what bike to buy and i completely agree. Im getting a Rubicon. More money but zero headache equals take my money.
i have a 2018 sportsman and i hate that most of it is plastic
hello, do you know why my atv stops when it gears up
Did you do anything to counteract these flaws or did you just recognize them and accept defeat lol?
I sold the piece of crap because it's poorly engineered like most polaris machines.
How would you compare it to a Honda foreman looking at both I know Honda not as quick but good rating Honda ???
The Honda is way more well made but lacks power
In your opinion is Polaris or Can Am 570 a more reliable/durable machine in stock form? I'm not a super deep water rider, but do hit quite a bit of mud on trails. Thanks!
Popo
Just about every gripe I heard could've been resolved before purchasing. I don't get it. Review could've been done on the showroom floor
Yep all the issies I predicted were accurate. Which is why i got rid of it
@@MudPuppyOffroad why buy it in the first place? I just don't get it...
Because I can. Theyre cheap as hell bike paid for itself in the first few video revenues.
Seriously dude, try a Grizzly 700 out. I know they’re underpowered but from a reliability standpoint they’re bullet proof! Get one, dog it out, put it the rough paces... and give us an honest review of it!
They can't turn 30s near the way I need
Mud Puppy Even with a clutch kit and a few mods? I see a lot of guys running 29.5s. I get your point though!
44:1 crawl ratio I need at least 60:1
I’m not planning on mudding to your level (I’m a novice) but I like the 570 what would you recommend doing to help it last longer? Like sealing or replacing stock parts.
Dude, wheelies? Are you 17 years old? That u joint angle has NEVER been a problem and I have owned 5 Polaris bikes.

This guy is smart and knows what he is talking about those of you that think he is stupid he will have no problem selling it I will subcripibe to this channel and you got my thumbs up and thank you for the knowledge
Hes talking fast and short, he mudded the shit out of this thing, don t buy.
lol sold years ago dude
Any chance this machine get get sealed up like a Honda? Is there aftermarket to do it with this 570? Or do you have to live with it
That laugh at the end pretty much closes the deal on staying away, lol
That sir is not a mud bike, it’s made for the other 90% of riders who go around the mud because they don’t want to be fixing their atvs every time they ride.
I don't know where you live but 90% of the people around here go deep
Mud Puppy well then I guess your local repair shops are very well employed.
@@Gottaloveguitars427 not really... We ride Hondas
Damn good info about that bike! Honda Rubicon just keeps coming back up because thier built better. Do Can ams use a rear transaxle as well?
Nope only the 570 popo
I have had 3 of the 570 polaris sportsman and 2 of the 570 rzrs great bikes to play on not a mud bike but one he'll of a fun bike I am wanting to try the new 700 arctic cat
Where is your video on the 570 for water leaking into belt enclosure fix?
it is actually a great trail bike and utility machine , if you want to submarine a bike just get a sea-doo or waste your money on a can-ham . your first mistake is bashing it with such low hours , take your time on a proper break in period it makes a difference. you paid very little for that thing compared to other brands so what can you expect , and they do make steel racks . it kills me to watch people buy a lower value bike and expect the world from it. with a little care and few upgrades these things are not far behind the big bores with 1/2 the cost. walked all over honda's i roll with with this setup. ruclips.net/video/xIakJb2w8-o/видео.html .
I like how you basically said the same thing I did and then try to argue with yourself? It's a good trail bike and a decent utility bike. the steel racks that they offer bolt to the flimsy plastic so they are pretty pointless. I did not buy this bike new it was very broken in when I got it so I have no idea what you're talking about with the break-in. my main issue with it is how outdated the suspension setup is it cannot handle the power the motor puts out. Even with stock angles it went through a lot of rear axles. The suspension geometry is just goofy. With mild usage it was last five to ten years maybe but I guarantee none of these will be around in 20 years like most old Hondas are. Polaris has been using this exact same suspension for way too long they need to dump some money into redesigning all of their suspension even the 850 is pretty outdated. Also way too many parts on this thing are stamped made in China.
A Honda Rubicon would walk all over one of these in 99% of situations and is exactly the same price out the door.
I have the 2019 and find the clearance to be appalling. I can't even drive over a 4inch rock in the road without banging it. Other than that, no complaints after 6mos except the weak front rack/trunk setup. Have to add tie downs to make it work.
i got mine with 14 inch tires on it. never banged a rock on the skid plate once and i ride really rough rocky trails.
i don't get why you have difficulties with the front storage. the lid has never broke with me and mines going on 5 months old.
@@alaynafolk4994 - It hasn't broken. It is inherently weak. The rubber clips can not support anything tied down to the platform, hence the tie down hardware to the fender by passing the rubber clips. I use mine for kitesurfing in Baja and carry a lot of equipment front and back. Also, keep the throttle sensor wires clean or you can get a 520-194 diagnostic code that shuts the rig down.
Bajasurfer thanks will look out for that
My old man and I bought four wheelers on the same day back in 2006. I bought a foreman 500es and he bought a sportsman 700.
Take a wild guess which one has been a plastic piece of shit since day one?
Those older popos are a mess
Mudpuppy what do you think about the honda rincon 680?
What’s your recommendation for best 4x4 ATV for the money?
Rubicon base model
I have 6000 hard Alaska miles on 850 x2 and the front roll pin has never came loose. P.S bikes have 2 tires quads have 4 "dont call it a bike it is a 4-wheeler city boys
So original.
It’s a utility for around the yard, not a mud machine
hello, do you know why my gas boils, it's the same as yours
Great review man I own the same one. lol'ed at your comment about how it's so heavy I feel like that's been Poliaris problem since forever :D
Arctic cat 400 my dad has one not one thing has been done to it for 8 years it sits outside we never even changed the oil somehow it still goes didn't blow yet lol high low overdrive winch 2 n 4 drive 2 seats the tlbike is a FUCKING TANK I SWEAR TO GOD
Selling it, but talking about abuse and everything you hate about it 🤦🏾♂️
Sold in 3 days for what I paid for it lol
If you did you probably could sell water to a whale
Does this mean a DCT if ya get a Honda or pre 2016 again if you do forever?
850 high lifter, cause at least you’ll have a good 4x4 and not can-ams 4x3 unless your giving it hell for the visco lock to engage
nigguhh sampson love the 850 #highlifter
850 highlifter it’s a beast I got one
Everybody talks about diff lockers but I have a 2011 renegade on 30 inch backs and have never had a problem with it not turning all the wheels
I am so happy that I bought a kodiak 700 over a sportsman 570.
Mudpuppy what kind of axles would you recommend to fix the angle problem?
Not sure sold it
@@MudPuppyOffroad well would highlifter axles work?
I know is almost two years later, but I'll buy it from you. Do you still have it?
Great review! You would make a terrible salesman because you are honest!😄
I've got a indestructible wheeler I would sell you, 1990 Suzuki kind quad 4x4 high low super low gear diff lock irs will pull a house.
Had a king quad 300 same set up gnarly but no power and all the weight was in the back. I agree it would pull the space shuttle though
It’s a utility Atv, not meant for high revs and speed
It's competition is the outlander 570. Both are utility machine... But the can am is way faster. Sorry you have one of these turds. Almost All ATVs are multi purpose these days...sport quads are dying out fast. This thing really needs more modern suspension and more power/revs
Do you think a Polaris. Can get a good 6 years being well taken care of .Or are the money Pits ? The Atv you have is s good looking bike ?
If you take care of it and don't abused it anywhere near like I do absolutely
Does the highlifter 850 need the clutch sealed where it meets the motor also ?
Mine had a small leak there yes
Seems like every bike is hit and miss now for problems your either get lucky or fucked
Don't take this the wrong way but I don't understand with your experience with atvs didn't ya see all these problems before ya bought it? I bought new a 2015 570 and I bought a EPI kit and I think that was money down the drain, I didn't like it. Well gotta go and good luck on your next bike and thanks for the video.
When you have a dozen quads and get a new one every few weeks you notice all kinds of things
Most of the problems are because of the way you ride it my Polaris is awesome
Polaris is cheaply made far from awesome. I just need the power
Mud Puppy idiots like you don’t deserve to have one
I honestly can’t stand Polaris stuff. It seems pretty good until you look into how it is built and how hard it is to work on. I have had nothing but problems with anything Polaris i have ever put my hands on.
its made cheap for sure... but super easy to work on especially compared to can ams. parts are pretty cheap too
Mud Puppy yes, that’s the only thing that I will admit about Polaris is that the parts are really cheap.
Old video, I know, but I have to comment. How can you bash the high end power of that 570, saying it has no high revving, wheel sliding abilities, and then say your going to get a Rubicon? Literally the slowest revving, least sporty of all ATVs made!! I understand Honda's reliability and all, but my gosh, that 570 will out power any Rubicon through any scenario at any time, and I am not a Polaris guy.
I see your point. I was more comparing the power to my can am 570. while you are right about it being more powerful than the Honda it is nowhere near reliable has terrible ground clearance the belt box leaks it's hard to snorkel etc. basically it's not fast enough to deal with all of the issues it has that the Honda doesn't have. in my opinion if you're going to have a bike with all of those issues it needs to be at least twice as powerful as the Honda and this thing is not.
You should do research and development for some of these companies. You’ve already done the research.
What year is yours, because my 2016 570 is completely different and doesn't have your power and speed problems
2016 lol same bike
Nice video, but call it an ATV or Quad please.
definition of bike :
a wheeled vehicle that has two wheels and is moved by foot pedals
Lol GTFO out of here I'll call my shit what I want to call it.
@@MudPuppyOffroad lol 😂 you do that fuck him or her you do you lol it’s a bike, four wheeler, atv or a fucking quad they are all the damn same I don’t know why someone has to talk shit about how or what someone call the fucker it is what it is so fuck it don’t listen to him or her do you there will always be people that talk shit about you of the way ya talk so fuck them have a great day or morning or night when ever ya see this be positive don’t listen to this fucker
Man and I wanted a 570 so badly
Honda on Bkt lol no
Project_Ajax 😢
I have one for hunting and we pull some really heavy stuff with it. I think this review depends on what you are planning on using it for. We love ours.
Tom Muse using it for just mud and water riding only
Tom Muse I use mine for hunting and love it. The rack system sucks so I built a better one. I put a video on here about a year ago with my rack system I built. If you wanted to look at it just search polaris front rack upgrade, it should pop up. Love the bike, but the rack system is dumb.
