2016 Polaris Sportsman® 570 EPS

I was on the sketchy side of having just one cylinder of what type of four wheeling I do but man does this thing pull off on the low and medium rpms. The engine break needs to be get used to but thats about it. I do recommended to replace the stock air filter though.

i have had 2 sportsman 500s which had the batteries under the fender, kind of a bad place because of the mud. now i got 570s and some idiot has put the battery in front of the engine on the frame, i have a dead battery , and to get a charger on is almost impossible it gets snow and mud there ... and the cover is hard to get off, why cant they put the battery in the front storage , where it will remain clean and easily to get at. i may get rid of it and get a honda.

My issue is the heat off the right side, you can't ride in shorts without the heat burning your leg unless yo hold your foot way out beyond the foot rest. Any solutions.

This is my first ATV and to be honest, I had some buyers remorse yesterday after reading all of the comments regarding exhaust issues (melting seats etc). The good news is that they fixed all of this for the 2016 and after 33 miles I haven't had any issues. I ride the hell out of this thing in my ... tight track including a pretty nasty mud section that keeps me busy washing the machine! I'll update the review if I run into any issues, but so far, so good.

Things that I don't like:

Sometimes when cold it will stall after coming to a stop.

Slight rattle when hot (I think it's the new exhaust shield bumping up on something).

Breaks could be better (especially when covered with mud).

Things that I like:

Power!

Handling.

It's a tank!

Takes a beating (so far).

Comfortable ride.

Ground clearance.

Great trail bike with lots of Power. Corners are effortless and wheelies are a guilty sin of mine.

Engine braking isn't bad, but sometimes I like to cruise to a stop, not fly forward in the handlebars and everything in my packs slide with me.

Overall great investment. ...
