How do you like the power with the 570? I was thinking about getting the same quad. 570 or 850. Maybe the 850 is a little overkill but it also might help in the mountains at higher elevation.
To be honest, it has enough power to do most things, but if you start getting into bigger tires 27, 28 inch and up you will start to notice lack of wheel speed in mud holes, if you're into that sort of thing. I am going for a bigger atv hopefully this year but that's just me wanting more HP and a mud dedicated atv.
@@ThrottleoutTV not really lookig at mudding, more trails and utility. Trying to stay stock setup as much as possible. Maybe tire type upgrade and utility type things. I hear ya though, the mud definitely requires specific upgrades and power for good success in it. Cheers!
Hello, what is a typical lifespan of a machine like this in terms of mileage or functioning hours? I would like to buy one and do the maintainence by myself. I live in Europe and I am planning to do 50% tarmac and 50% offroad with steep ascends/descends on slopes and natural ramps. Should I consider the same reliability of a motorcycle of the same displacement? Thank you for your answer!
Thanks for the great questions! As for the mileage, I have heard of 10,000+ kilometers (6000+ miles) with 700+ hours all offroad on the sportsman with proper maintenance and minor repairs. Maintenance is fairly easy on the 570. I don't personally ride on tarmac but with the right tires it will do just fine. As for getting a ATV or motorcycle is more of a personal choice. I like the abilities of the ATV more such as going through mud holes, the comfort and more forgiving on rocky and/or tire ruts. But I will say that ATVs have a high role over rate. They also make ATVs with hill descent and engine breaking (mine doesn't have either). Dirt bikes on the other hand can go more places (tighter trails), with experience they can ascend/descend just as good if not better. I hope that I was of some help and please let me know on what you decide on!
@@ThrottleoutTV Thank you! I feel like an ATV is a world apart from motorcycles. I used to ride a moped (a 50cc schooter) 25 years ago, so the ATV choice is more intriguing to me, especially because it would be a fresh new experience. I don't like to drive fast, just exploring nature during leasure time in a calm and relaxing way. Staying in sitting position, without touching the ground with the feet, at a very low speed, is what arouse my curiosity. I live on the outskirts, don't have a trailer and will visit the boondocks by driving the ATV. I feel like the 570 Sportsman is the best possible choice in therms of price and value, plus with the driving licence of my car I don't need to pass a new driving exam for using the ATV. Let's see, maybe the first months of next year I will pull the trigger. I would be very happy and exited to buy one. For now, watching your videos, I think I have a similar experience to owning one. Ok, it is a virtual thing, but with pov videos I have almost the same feelings of driving the ATV myself and visiting new areas. Thank you very much for your answer!
@@safewaycart I'm very glad I could help and that my videos are of help as well! ATV to me can be a lot more relaxing as you mentioned not having to put your feet down at low speed, and being able to just sit and enjoy the ride. The sportsman 570 is definitely a good bang for your buck. Not to mention they are very reliable, they have enough power to do just about anything. Buying an ATV is definitely an exciting experience, if and when you pull the trigger and buy one, I would love to hear what you purchased. Thanks for watching, I will have some more videos soon.
For me at least, not very hard at all. But if you do alot of mud holes, deep sand that kind of thing it can get very hard on the shoulders, you definitely feel it the next day. But as for trail riding, utility use not hard at all. Tires matter as well, the stock tires its easy, as for the mudlite 2 I found it a bit easier to turn the handle bars. The extra money for power steering is worth it to me at least.
Hello Pat Lef, these Mudlite are good for the most part, they tend to plow (front tires slide) when breaking around corners on loose ground such as gravel. They work great in mud and hard surfaces, I have not had a chance to use them to plow snow but I would say they would do good as they have great clean out (they eject snow, mud off with little wheel speed). If you have a 2019 sportsman 570 and put 25x7r12 mudlite on the front you will need to put the tie rod ends on the bottom of the mount on the macpherson strut as they will rub on the tie rod rubber boot. Message me again if you need help I can make a short video for you and show you what I mean. Sorry I couldn't be more help with answering if they're good for plowing snow.
You will need to do an alignment for sure, it can be a bit tricky to do but there is great youtube videos that explain how to do it. Hope I could be of help!
I got them from ricochetoffroad.com. There are two problems I have with them, but not a deal breaker for me. One is if you go through mud holes they tend to hold the mud and debris so you have to clean them off often so it doesn't wear your axle boot. Another is if you do rock climbing, you can wear the bolt down which makes it hard to remove them as they are a torx. I would recommend replacing them with carriage bolts. Other than that they are high quality, 3/8 inch thick aluminum and very light. Would definitely recommend them!
It's pretty easy. Just have to take off 2 bolts and take off the 2 exhaust springs and the muffler slides right on. You might need a new exhaust gasket (5-10$) I did not need one as I had very low mileage when I upgraded my muffler. Replace bolts, exhaust springs and you are ready to hit the trails. Hope this helps!
@@rzl07375 I like it a lot, it's a great quad just want something more suited for mud. If I snorkel it it will void the 5 years I have left on the warranty.... not my smartest move getting a 6 year.
IMHO, Elka if you can afford them as they're costly but WELL worth the money. I know a couple people that run Elka and they don't regret the purchase at all. Fox can be pricey too, but a little bit cheaper. you can't really go wrong with fox if you get the right shock for your style of riding. Hope this helps!
I get that part of it for sure. Just imo the weight in the back is worth it to me. I have a fire extinguisher and tow equipment in the front storage, it helps with that. Plus I don't like it next to the shaft.
That’s how you know it’s a real review when someone say’s the good and the bad about it. Love the bike and appreciate the review!!
Thanks so much!!
Loud pipes are one of reasons they close trails in northern Michigan. Give prices for upgrades. Thank you.
Good job! Well done !! Fair and impartial!!

Got the same bike man! Where did you get your arm guards from ? Thanks dude !
Right on! How you liking the Polaris? I got my A arm guards from ricochetoffroad.com. No problem!
Looks good!

What website did you get the aluminum ricochet plates from?
@@beco89inc50 I got them from ricochetoffroad.com/
When in doubt?
Throttle Out bro! Haha love it
I bought the same light bar. Haven't got my machine yet to install. How do you like the light bar?
The light bar is great so far. It has been completely covered in mud, splashed numerous amount of times and still works like the day I bought it.
How hard is to turn handle bar since it is a base model?
For me at least, not very hard at all. But if you do alot of mud holes, deep sand that kind of thing it can get very hard on the shoulders, you definitely feel it the next day.

Good vid. I put Mudlite 2s on my 850 Sportsman and like them so far. I hear ya on paying way more for stuff in Canada.
Thank you I appreciate you! I have no complaints about the Mudlite 2s either! Yeah us Canadians get hit hard on toys.
10k for 570 and 13k for a 850 in Alberta
@@Mad_Martigan_MD yup. Our 570 Trail listed at 10,999 and the 850 Trail was 13,299. The new "Ultimate Trail" 850 is 14,399

That would be great, I saw in the video the front tires looked bigger then the stock tires that’s the look I was going for
Thanks
When you flipped your tr ‘s did you need to re aline the the wheels or they just bolt on and that’s it.
You will need to do an alignment for sure, it can be a bit tricky to do but there is great youtube videos that explain how to do it. Hope I could be of help!
Where is ya get the a arm skid plates ?

3/8” ???
The skid plates are 3/8 of an inch thick, very durable and lightweight.
How hard was it to attach the gse muffler

Nice machine man did you do any clutch mods?
Thanks, yeah I put a dalton trail clutch in and I love it. A lot more snappy in low and helped with back shift as well.
@@ThrottleoutTV Awesome Dalton makes quality stuff. Since you already have an exhaust you could get an ecu tune on that 570 and pick up 10 more hp.
@@rzl07375 I was thinking of doing just that, was going to get a DynoJet but I'm going to be selling this for a Renegade next spring....Hopefully!

Can I buy your old wheels
Sorry, the 2 rears I am using for a trailer and the one front has a plug in the sidewall.
Every winch breaks
