I was looking at this one for it's quietness but a little worried about the 4.5 CFM for little grinders and sanders. Have you used this with anything with 4.5-6 CFM without issues? Thanks for the video!

Lol how do I always get stuck on a rock ? Answer! Because you straddled it ! That's funny. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the video! I went a slightly different direction and went with some higher lumen pods and skipped the 14" bar. Followed your install - was helpful! Enjoy your vids. Cheers from Minnesota.

Good honest video. I'm glad you like your Polaris, but I detect a little disdain for them too? To me, Polaris engineers must skip right over their cousins and go right for their sisters. Some of the most bassackwards, hairbrained designs and features of any brand anywhere, IMO. All the crap I've seen them do is too numerous to list here, but I will comment on the one you mentioned....AWD. Ok, AWD has it's place, for sure. It's fantastic in a rally car, or in a family sedan made for good mpg, or even patchy ice and snow on a highway. But in the off-road world that ATVs are built for, it's not even close to the best system. An autonomous locker that must slip before it engages simply does NOT work better than a true 4wd open diff with a manual locker. From a user standpoint, a locker must work all the time in places such as Moab where the sandpaper grip of the slickrock will rarely let a Polaris kick it's front wheels in to help "pull" the quad over a ledge or crack. A manual 4wd with a manual locker ALWAYS has the system in operation so there is always power to the front wheels regardless of traction. Secondly, from an engineering standpoint, a magnetically operated clutch pack locker with sensors renders the machine with a major problem in that the front wheels are never mechanically connected to the rears. The result is the need for another band aid system to correct for rear wheel only engine brake skid, and that's exactly what ADC is. Polaris tried to make it sound like only their machines with ADC have engine braking on hills, and that they invented it and own it, but it's hilarious to every other brand user out there because our machines automatically have engine braking to four wheels simply by just having the 4wd system engaged. No other systems or computerized garbage needs to correct for going down a hill without your back end fishtailing all over. Also, a true 4wd system works just as good in reverse as it does in forward. So if you get started down a line on a hill and need to back up and take a different line, it does it effortlessly amd automatically. On a Polaris AWD system, the computer cancels the ADC as soon as the gear selection goes into reverse! Polaris People.....friends, Polaris has been trying to reinvent the wheel for decades and selling you the Koolaid that their bad idea was actually a good one. There is a reason why all serious off road vehicles from buggies to Jeeps to ATVs have 4wd systems and not AWD systems. Don't even get me started on battery placement, gas tank placement, air box placement, roll centers, center of gravity, shotty workmanship, cheap plastics everywhere, one lever braking, 900 pound ATV's, servicing nightmares, high stall helix's, etc etc. Every Polaris owner eventually learns that you must start thinking about trading in your Polaris at the 3000 mile mark if you want to have something to ride and not be in the shop, under water.

Loved the video and your sense of humor.👍 One thing you might want to start doing is loosening the fill plugs first before you drain the oils. That way, if the plug is too tight or is stripped, at least you can still run it because there's still oil in it. And "W" does not mean "weight". It means "winter".😉

If you have a traditional oil filter wrench. Note that I have a few different sizes and used a smaller one but nonetheless if you get the handle pointing upwards. You can make small movements at a time and get it off just watch your knuckles. Would suggest an oil filter with the nut on the end for the next change but that tool looks pretty slick.

Thank you for all the information that you did on your video here. I think you did a fine job explaining things what you liked what you didn’t like in complaints about factory things I appreciate that. We thought these were a higher end type unit and we were looking at buying one maybe will maybe keep looking.

How much kPa for this vacuum?

No brush head included?

Enjoyed the video as usual. Looking forward to the next one.

Love learning from all your videos!! 👍🏻👍🏻

I did the something similar to what you did here. I ran into a bigger issue though now the clunking is worse and on both sides where as before it was only on one side. Any recommendations on what could’ve gone wrong here?

If you’re riding in mostly dry environments then this quad will do wonders for you. If your crossing water quickly, entering light holes, or riding in sand beware the clutch exhaust will cause many many problems. TERRIBLE design for an OFV something needs to be changed instantly. Not a good atv choice at all imo

We bought a used 2014 wildcat 4x first trip to the dunes we busted a belt with paddle tires. I’ve since installed an inline fan 270cfm to keep the belt cooler. In duck creek the right rear brake caliper went into our wheel and broke the brake line. We had a spare and able to get back to camp. Had to replace the rotor, caliper and brake line from the front to the rear. My rear diff vents gear oil as well, will be replacing the seals soon. In 8 months we’ve put 500 miles on it. Not a bad rig just can’t make it up comp hill at Amargosa dunes

Nice video! What would you say would be a scenario where someone should actually go for 1/2” drive versus the 3/8” drive? Want to add an imp wrench to my tools (general atv, lawn mower, vehicle work) but unsure on 3/8” vs 1/2”

7:15 you had me at HP Compaq 😂

Another awesome video. Looked like the spark plugs came out easily. I was attempting to replace mine (on a 2004 700 EFI twin) and they are TIGHT, REAL TIGHT and didn't budge using way more umph that should be necessary. Ive changed a lot of plugs in a lot to equipment over the years but have never had to use as much force as I applied in the failed attempts on this machine. Don't know the plugs in my machine has ever been replaced or not. Any suggestions other than just getting a little meaner with it? Any possibility of damaging anything? Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you or others might have..

Great video. Lots of good things in this video that appears to be the same or very similar to what my 2004 sportsman 700 efi twin. My front sstrut bumpers were also deteriorated and falling to pieces. You said you tried several different tools to get the front axles out of the differential but what were you usinig when you finally got it moving and out. Anyway, sure did enjoy this video and plan to watch at least a couple of more of yours tonight. Thanks again for sharing you time and experience.

Nice video!... Years ago we I went up to Lookout. At the time the trail from the Nadeau Trail was pretty good and I was able to make it in my Toyota Highlander without any problem. With the Defense mine, that was another story & bit much so we hiked the final 1/2 mile or so.

Great video. Thank you for sharig your time and experience. Pretty new to the ATV world (2004 Sportsman 700 EFI twin). Original plan was to replace all axles to get rid of a front and rear torn boot and the remaining boots all of which appear to be weather cracking; all suspension bushings due to complete deterioration of most of them; changing differential, transmission and engine lubricants; fuel sender and fuel lines, fuel tank vent hose and replacing the aluminized heat shield material on the fuel tank. Purchased axles and bushings but had to change plans because I was unable to get the first front axle out of the differential. Tried everything I could google but could'nt get it to budge and was concerned about damaging the differential so just replaced the front boots. Looking forward to watching your "Billy Bad A$$ 700" video in hopes it shows how to finally got yours out/off. Anyway, thank you for sharing your time and expertiese

Enjoyed the video. Never had a side by side, but looks like you guys had fun.

I know nothing about utv’s but have a mechanic friend that has a shop that repairs them. After many hours of owning and repairing them he now owns and swears by the Can am products. With that said clutch and belt issues plague a lot of utv manufacturers.

New Polaris sportsman Xp 1000 ride command

You need buy polaris rzr 2025

Buen mecánico meticuloso y super ordenado para su trabajo

You *may have the wrong bushing for the rear of that radius arm, the bushing you *may be looking for is more Cone shaped and longer…

Still working well?

Hope it's a steering stabilizer for a bike

As a lifetime Toyota guy, I'm looking into this old 7.3 (ironically to tow my Tundra LOL). I'm in CA as well, so I appreciate you diving in some details with your emissions setup.

Hi where do you buy most of your bushings and bolts and axles?

What is the cost of the power steering?

Enjoyed the video and looking forward to the next one

Another great video, I think you are going to enjoy the power steering upgrade. I am looking forward to seeing Billy ripping up the desert. Maybe you can do a shoot out or something similar with Billy and your newer 570 in the future. Thanks, and be safe out there riding.

My '08 Sportsman 300 actually has 25" tires... not sure why the previous owner put these on, but I got it to top out at 40 once. I'll probably downsize to 24" or 23" soon.

At first I was skeptical to bear through the whole 44 min of this video, especially after you mentioned skipping to 22 min. But I'm glad I stuck with it for the humor and pun. At one point I wondered if the pins in the sockets were a safety requirement in Australia or some other country, given the fact they have to wear a face mask by law? Who knows lol! I have a Alloyman ratchet with 2x 2ah batteries (half the size of this one), so I'm hoping the batteries are interchangeable. The smaller batteries should also make it lighter, and I'll have 2 chargers. This should be useful for charging tires and brakes work on all of my vehicles.

Thank you for making this video. I’ve use my Hawkeye for plowing at my home in Fairbanks, AK for about 18 yrs , to find a video specifically about the model I own was fantastic. Well done and thank you!

I have the sportsman 500 efi x2 2007 and is a tank, with 10,000 miles 0 problems, is a good engine and a bigger atv!

Good review man it very much appreciated it

Wow! I haven't been up/down Pleasant Canyon for a few years. It definitely got a thrashing during the past couple rainy seasons. I happened to be in the area when the Cerro Gordo road was washed out. That storm chased me down Swansea.

Be careful of DVNP boundaries. OHVs are not permitted in the park and most of that area is technically in DVNP. I've never seen a patrol ranger out there though.

Thanks for sharing I have a 2024 F 250 with the 8 foot bed just ordered this from Ziebart going to have them install I could the but just have them they also did the undercoating so any issues, not that I expect any I can deal directly with them cause they did the install.

I have an appointment to get both control arms replaced. They want to replace the struts and shocks as well. I’m only wanting to get rid of the rattle at slow speeds. Thoughts?

Will the broken rubber in the control arm cause a rattle in drive when going under 20 miles an hour?

Hi friend, we haven't seen each other for a while, I broke my femur and had surgery, bye

Yep, Polaris doesn't make their own oil, they obviously source it out - I'm still trying to figure out what the AGL fluid really is (similar to ATF Type F?). Pennzoil makes 0w40 engine oil, you can buy 75w140 gear everywhere (close enough to 80w140)

Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the next one.

Love the video

Good video. The only issue is to bleed the antifreeze at the screw on the new housing.

I have a 03 excursion that has a slight wobble at slow speeds and horrible shake to wear I don’t have much control on steering at 54+ I’ve replaced all balljoints and tie rods and wheel bearings and tires and nothing has changed it would go away for a little bit then come back I don’t know what to do

Thank you that the code came on my dodge journey today. It looks like an easy fix
