[@smarley678]

Thank you for this video! Very informative!

[@muhs33goalie33]

just bought one today, there is very little on this ATV, ill try to follow up in a month or two, or once i start using it for plowing and ice fishing, the test drive was good, solid power and torque, couldnt tell much difference from the 2012 500 sportsman i drove

ATV is still working good, only have 15 miles on it. I'll put more on once we get more snow and the lake freezes over. I have a Kolpin snowblade plow and put on their universal mount. It's a decent set up for the price and works well. The ATV itself runs great, starts easy in cold conditions, a slight squeak in one of the brakes that I need to figure out. Plenty of power. No concerns so far and it's nice to have a brand new machine for not much more than you see used ones going for.

@@muhs33goalie33 How goes it now? Looking to see some longer term reviews and finding ANY are hard enough.

I'm actually considering making the trip up to Ottawa to check these out. You guys have them on for a good price atm. $4,999 for a new 500 ATV is hard to pass up these days.

Trying to get a primary clutch for my 2013 EFI 500 , I ordered it from a dealership in 2020 6/3 and still havi gotten it as of 10/20 maybe but 11/22 . I got a hold of Textron to and they haven't done anything.. Maybe time to buy another brand that will help me .

[@esasaarinen2423]

i just want to know does it have a front locker ?

[@davemoore6107]

I’ve rode the 2016 500. I noticed on these newer ones it only had LHNR. No parking spot on the shifter. I take it you have to put the park break on every time now? And on the 2016 it had 2wd-4wd-lock4wd. This one doesn’t have the lock. Is this atv still a true 4x4?

[@damirivancic4964]

compare with polaris sportsman 570 is it big difference? performance,quality

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

Nice review- not a whole lot of info out there on these ATV's. I'm picking mine up tomorrow and it's going to be put to work at our cabin and and maybe an occasional goof off ride.

[@hunterman600cc]

How's it working out? A year isn't a whole lot, but I'm hoping these aren't like the old Hyundai's... Seem good at first but then electrical gremlins and cheap parts wearing out...

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

@@hunterman600cc So far so good, although I only have about 40 hours on it. It's mainly used for hauling a trailer for wood and leaves during cabin cleanup, and an occasional romp in the back 40 woods. I haven't had an issue with it yet.

How fast does the Alterra 500 go

[@isaiahmateus7640]

83kmph is the highest I've hit on it

[@513dra]

Anybody know what the top speed on this machine is?

[@dwhite71]

I had mine up to 50mph didn't want to go any faster so i don't really know.

Driven clutch engineered with to small of a spindle,get the recall done by replacing it or you will blow belts.
