2020 Sportsman 850 after 6 days. let's talk break in.

[@imokuok1993]

Thank for the review, there is literally no other KZbin video with a Polaris ATV with those new LED lights. Super awesome 😎

[@GoFlyPix]

I just bought a 2022 sportsman 570 trail, love the quad but I feel like it’s slow an being held back. Good to know I’ll have a little more power after 75 hours!! Thanks!!

[@MichaelWilliams-if4qk]

Mine at 60 miles the rear differential was popping and had to have rear differential and drive shaft replacement. It was a factory defect.

[@TONY57005]

Good video Continue

[@AndrewZebrunIII]

I have a 2024 with the halo led package, now I want leds for my 2019 Sportsman 850 HO 😊.

[@christophernobert9023]

I just bought a 2022 Polaris sportsman 850 ultimate trail. I can’t wait for more power

[@tylerrusty1122]

With these bikes, you have to beat em a little in the break in period, don't follow the manual. Here's what I do, Start it up, let it warm up, vary the RPM a Little bit under 3000 for as long as it takes to warm up. Go out, do about 20 percent to 80 percent throttle. Do that for 20 minutes, take it back in, change the oil and filter. Take it back out, warm it up, then vary the RPM, at about 20 percent, to 90 percent throttle, until 25 hours, change the oil. Run as hard as possible for the rest of it's life.

[@DeadGull72]

Lol. Mine has over 10k km now. Just changed the belt. The clutches are still like new.

[@tylerrusty1122]

@@DeadGull72 I just got done building my 05 500 engine, it was at 14000km and needed it's first rebuild, the belt was changed twice, and it needed a primary clutch, when you treat these Polaris Right, they give you everlasting reliability.

[@DeadGull72]

@@tylerrusty1122 so true. I was talking to my friend about all my used bikes that had way less km on them and the clutches all needed work. This is the first atv that I ever bought new Is this 850. I was very surprised today when I checked my primary and it is still like new with over 326.5hrs and over 10k km.

[@tylerrusty1122]

@@DeadGull72 Mine has 1328 Hours on it. It sat outside for 2 years before I came to rescue it. My first ATV I've owned. Great to hear you are enjoying yours. The 850s seem to be pretty reliable these days, you have obviously taken care of yours. The old ones had some major issues with the Oil Blowby system, and the crank, but that's been sorted.

[@keithalbert189]

Great video! Thanks!

[@youngin881]

I got the base Sportsman version and have about the same hours on it. It’s getting more and more challenging not to rip on it! Watching all the YT vids ain’t helping much cause these machines will get motivated real quick.

[@VFDF9]

I just got a 21 850 trail and only have 13 hours and it already wants to pull the tires up every time i punch it

[@outdoortigers9775]

Great vid - I have the 2020 1k...love it! How did you get both mirror and hand guards on...I find little room for just the one?

[@DeadGull72]

I will make a video to show it if you want.

[@juujuubees379]

No having the 3rd brake light really doesnt make it that much different and the 3rd break light is one of the best things about it.

[@MorphnSeaGull]

True, but I will be using my bike for work, not just fun. I have fun all summer and work all winter. I am getting the reverse light as soon as i have the funds for it.

[@danielohara9324]

It's not a v twin. The prostar engine family is a straight twin like most snowmobile engines.

[@DeadGull72]

Thanks for watching till the end. A slip of the tongue. Yes a straight twin.

[@_DP_99]

Looks great! I subscribed when I heard you say the price in CDN lol. Where in Eastern Ontario are ya from?

[@DeadGull72]

Hastings County

[@jagcustomknives]

Did your rear differential backlash start getting loud yet? Mine did around this mileage, but based on your hours you've been cruising fast so probably not on and off the gas a lot....

[@DeadGull72]

No, not mine. If you think it may be the rear diff, check the inner axle sv joint.

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

Man I miss my Polaris quad got ride if it to get a side by side krx 1000 love it but not as many to places to ride it with out loading up and driving hrs away could ride my 570 sportsman almost every where parks all round to ride a 50 inch quad but not a big ass side by side anyways gonna get another quad soon great review

[@PhilStonge]

More power after 75 hours? Never heard of that before .

[@jagcustomknives]

Piston rings seal and computers tune over that period

[@jagcustomknives]

Also not certain,but I'd assume some manufacturers run a rich fuel map for initial break in to keep the engine cool as tight parts create the most heat and excessively rich mixtures ( break in map ) reduce power output

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

My dads 850 woke up a lot after around 300 miles. Feels like a different machine

[@envelopo]

75 hours? Where did you get that info.

[@DeadGull72]

The break in info is found in the manual for the ATV.

[@envelopo]

@@DeadGull72 Yes ive broken in a few of these. I believe the manual says 25 hours. Not tryin to put you down bro but I don’t think 75 is correct at all

[@MorphnSeaGull]

@@envelopo My 570Sp said service every 50 hrs. My new 2020 Sportsman 850 says 100hrs or 1600km fro full service. Polaris has changed some of the manuals over the years.

[@envelopo]

Check page 60 of your 2020 owners manual. There it says the break in period is 25 hours. Or call Polaris whatever. The breakin period is 25 hours. The service interval is entirely different. There is no 75 hour breakin on these machines.

[@MorphnSeaGull]

@@envelopo I did check it awhile back and have posted a video or two on that topic.

[@derperderp9036]

Do I have to keep it in low gear for the first couple hours.

[@DeadGull72]

No. I drove it in High gear from day one except when working with it. Example; Plowing or a mud hole.

[@ilikedogs2797]

hey dose it have eps?

[@DeadGull72]

Yes.

[@ilikedogs2797]

@@DeadGull72 thanks and dose the 570 have the eps and efi too?

[@DeadGull72]

@@ilikedogs2797 yes. They do all come with EFI but EPS is only on special order models.

[@ilikedogs2797]

@@DeadGull72 ok how much more dose the eps cost?

[@DeadGull72]

It depends on the dealership and the ATV. Anywhere between $1000 and $2000 more.

[@mudpuppy318]

That a wrinkle in the seat already?

[@DeadGull72]

Yep, on day one.

[@kylewilder8933]

Took that bike to pound town . That’s why . Lol

[@timhopper7148]

I just got my 850 it has about 4 hr and reverse there’s a delay was it the same on yours?

[@DeadGull72]

No, if their is an issue, take it back to the dealer. It may be a problem with the clutches.

[@MichaelWilliams-if4qk]

Are you sure about that.... Wouldn't mind if it was true

[@DeadGull72]

It is true.
