You’re in the business to make money, if people can’t understand that Then go somewhere else. From the videos i’ve watched you do everything you can to save your customers money and go way above to make a customer happy.Unlike a lot of dealers who only care about their bottom line . I wish there was a lot more people in this world like you instead of the me first world we live in now

[@ljccoppola2818]

Couldn't agree more with this

[@frankwrogg2515]

💯

[@asleepzone5557]

Your good at what you do! Charge appropriately! More videos please!

[@mark0decker827]

That's how u build good business. Great vid

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@gggracing113.]

Great job Rock!

[@jamiejohnston4983]

Impressive to me that you can make such a good video and do all the work with one hand!

[@rockspowersports]

I’m glad you find the video enjoyable.

[@jamiejohnston4983]

Do you feel that the 570 polaris engine is a good one?

[@JustinHylton-y7f]

Great video! I just got back from a hunting trip. My buddy has a 2005 Rhino. We got out in the woods and it would not run. I took the carb apart and cleaned the jets and got him going. He asked me “how did you learn how to do that?” I said I watch this guy Rock on KZbin lol. I love your videos.

[@Specter8766]

I love your videos I’m glad the uploads are back.

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks! I appreciate hearing that.

[@K-9Gar]

We need more people with your moral conviction. Your a good guy bud

[@upnorthvlogs]

I have a 2015 570 with 10 K mile still runs great with regular maintenance

[@rockspowersports]

Nice! The 570 is a good engine with proper maintenance.

[@jamiejohnston4983]

How about the midsized 570 side x side? I'm seriously thinking about buying a new one

[@rockspowersports]

My uncle owns one and loves it, hasn’t had any issues.

[@upnorthvlogs]

@@jamiejohnston4983 my brother has one it’s been great and you you get spoiled with the power steering I don’t even like to ride my 300ex and that things easy steer

[@m.a.l4879]

royal purple all the way

[@mikehill2110]

I wish I lived closer to you because you’re a fantastic mechanic but I’m hailing from Alaska and I learn from your videos a lot 😉 keep up the good work 😃

[@rockspowersports]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching! Your certainly quite a ways from Vermont haha

[@bruceblaylock1397]

I love how you show step by step how to rebuild this top end with clear video and audio. I enjoy your channel .Thanks

[@aslacker]

Great job man, just stumbled across your channel today and you are definitely better than your subscriber count shows.

[@Martyvison]

You have a good heart man and aren’t out to screw people which is why I want you doing all my work best in the state hands down no dealership is gonna be that straight cut and good to the customer! You da man

[@rockspowersports]

The Honda’s in good hands.

[@Martyvison]

yessir I wouldn’t want anyone else wrenching on it!

[@mark0decker827]

Ur a solid dude

[@jamiejohnston4983]

Yes sir

[@codyallen6547]

You should not apologize for making some money. $1000 profit on that quad is not even that much. Stop beating yourself up.

[@98KingQuad]

Agreed. This guys thorough and good mechanics are hard to find

[@mudman6227]

Just bought a polaris 450. Your videos are amazing . My new favorite channel !

[@mikehill2110]

Thanks!

[@rockspowersports]

Holy smokes!!! Thanks man, way too much to be throwing out for a tip though..

[@stephengordon8968]

Dont be afraid to charge for you're time , its time out of your life that you will never get back ! Your a very knowledgeable honest person and not every can or wants to do what you do . Why do you think people trust you with thier machines ? Because they want it done right ! Happy Thanksgiving

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks for the kind words and happy thanksgiving to you as well.

[@againstmywill23]

Great vid Rock. Amazing with all the pressure, heat and scraping an engine sees a little water can do that damage a mess it all up

[@bryanpollard514]

Love your videos you actually sit down and walk through the process ain't to many does that. I'm actually learning more as I'm watching you I appreciate good people like you wish you're closer because I've some wheelers that need some attention and it's hard to find good shops or honestly shops to work on them besides trying to get over on you

[@jacksonstephens9772]

Rock I did a valve adjustment on my old 2005 Honda foreman 500 and it sounds awesome, way less ticking

[@nathanwallace7234]

Green grass at the start of the video snow at the end. Ain’t it great 😂😂

[@rockspowersports]

It’s that time of year… plus there was about 2 weeks difference from the start of the video to the end, Had to wait for parts.

[@allanflaro3260]

Subscribe to your Chanel recently and I can't watch it enough your knowledge is very impressive there are very few honest mechanics like you love your Chanel

[@jackearnest6895]

Rock these videos are very informative. I have three 570 machines and will save this video. One of mine needs a top end now and will use this as a reference. Thanks again

[@JB409XX]

Rock you're never going to be a super successful businessman you're too nice lol I'm glad I live in a world with good people like you thank's for the video

[@rockspowersports]

My Wife tells me this all the time… she tells me to get a “real job” lol

[@timhiggins4259]

Another great video. I think I’ve said this before but it sure is beautiful landscape where you are. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks Tim! I do enjoy where I live, pretty peaceful and plenty of room for riding. Happy thanksgiving to you as well.

[@concealit4800]

I feel like u have a passion for this just like i do! Subscribed

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks for subscribing, and I sure do!

[@barrybroderick5103]

An honest man 👊🏻 great vid !!

[@rockspowersports]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@garny3766]

Nice vid Rock. New viewer here. Few questions/observations… 1) installing the rings, do you clock them? 2) wrist pin retaining ring, do you clock the opening to 12 or 6 or just wherever? 3) cylinder and head dowl pins. Always an important part to make sure they are accounted for and reinstalled. 4) careful on torque wrench usage. No jerking to clicks. 5) I like to roll over fresh engine a few times then check new valve lash. 6) lots of HF tools👍

[@jmudd5449]

Great job as usual.

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks!

[@Summit2200]

That is a job well done and always look forward to a new video.👍

[@ryanyoung3539]

Hey another great video your a good man you did the right thing bud.

[@Thunder-xo1cx]

Very nice 👍 Another job well done Yes I understand where you coming from on having a hard time to charge people, some People I do work for I got the same but they are usually nice appreciate what you do for them and thankful, once a while this is better than a few Dollars

[@HeadHoncho23]

Happy Thanksgiving Rock! Keep up the great Vids! 😊

[@rockspowersports]

Happy thanksgiving to you as well!

[@dennisrobbins657]

Such a great video rock, keep them coming!

[@Dinoxt12]

Great job and instructional video. Wherever you used to work as a tech. They must surely miss you. lol

[@Kq750.]

My new favorite channel, wish you were my neighbor lol,did you go to school for this take a course

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad to hear that! And no I didn’t go to school for this, just learned from hands on experience.

[@paulbudford]

That was well worth replacing the top end looking at how bad it was. Nice job. 👍

[@keithgoldston2859]

Great viedo thanks for the work you put into it

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, Glad you appreciate it.

[@Tayjuice]

Amazing, I can't do this two handed and you do it with one hand and one on the camera

[@jeremyfre9761]

What a great rebuild. You could not be in business if you did everything for free.

[@lalosanchez4295]

Great job man

[@neilhawes7739]

Rock your a true gentlemen,but you need to feed your family as well. But i truly believe it will all come back to you god bless 👌

[@markcollins5026]

Man, nice running great, although I would have powerwashed the engine off !

[@rockspowersports]

I don’t really like to wash machines this time of year, things seem to freeze up and cause more problems than it’s worth.

[@markcollins5026]

@rockspowersports man, l live in Arizona, doesn't really get that cold here !

[@rockspowersports]

Oh gotcha! I’ve never been out that way.

[@GeorgeFloyddeadlol]

This is how people become entitled she's put 500 miles on a used 4wheeler and is getting free work.

[@UpInSmoke54]

An old compression ring has a backer for the oil rings to prevent the ring from falling, just align the gap.

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

10/10 excellent 👌

[@robertdavis4184]

Just FYI on my Polaris sportsman 570 2017 I drilled a hole in the right side running board to get to the grease fitting for the front drive shaft.

[@emirkazic4493]

Great video. I always wonder why the head doesn’t get machined flat like in an automotive application.

[@michaelaudy6415]

Great video

[@cainbeeping8480]

Nice job brother

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks!

[@chrisplace3024]

Happy Thanks giving up in Moose country.

[@rockspowersports]

Happy thanksgiving to you as well!

[@hugotorralba5509]

Thanks for your help

[@RonaldBurke-g7r]

A good mechanic

[@rc5693]

Nice work, kinda curious where did you get your snap ring pliers that have like a screw driver handle on them? Thanks for your time

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Makes total sense why you fixed it for free, it was blowing a lot of oil, and was this a problem before you sold it to her? mmmmm. Brand new Polaris parts, makes a fast job and a good video! Interesting the Cylinders aren't too expensive, but the piston is, neat!

[@ljccoppola2818]

Awesome work man. Must say on a side note. That land u have is amazing! WHERE do u live? My dream is to go in my back yard and have all that flat land!

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I live in Vermont. The northeast part of the United States.

[@ljccoppola2818]

@rockspowersports awesome man! Love the videos. And Vermont is beautiful few friends go up there to snowboard. I'm right in patterson ny. Few hours away! such nice piece of land.

[@ML-vk8ev]

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

[@Jonathan_From_TT]

Hey rock hope you’re doing good.

[@rockspowersports]

Hey Jonathan, celebrating my birthday today so doing great. Hope you going good as well.

[@cjoffroad9750]

Not a fan of filter socks on polaris machines. Adds resistance. Stick to OEM setup or else you start sucking in unfiltered air into leaks throughout the intake system. Good way to dust the top end.

Thats why the original owner sold it. They sank it.

[@bwfreel]

Do you think condensation from sitting outdoors could have caused that damage?

[@rockspowersports]

I’m not sure if a little condensation would cause that much damage. Possibly if it sat for a long time. I’d say there was probably a significant amount of water in that cylinder.

[@bwfreel]

@ thanks for the response!

[@dispatch444]

Do you need to clock the rings on those?

[@FranGecko]

Hey rock love vids, I have a trail boss 325 has been nothing but problems it leaks gas from the bottom of the carb from the overflow and my brakes just went out there not building up pressure and I try to disconnect the brake line from the brakes and the line is like seized on the brake any help will go a long way it’s been a money pit. Thanks

[@Uncle_Anthoni]

You should use a head or chest mount for your camera so you don't have to do it all one handed

[@chrisshulick2580]

Hey rock I’m in Sutton Burke area right now at my vacation home broke my clutch cable on my Yamaha ttr225 what is my best option locally figured you know best all I can think is all around power

[@dcsales2007]

must be some hard and frustrating doing everything with one hand. you could use a gopro with a chest strap.

[@mikecaliber8345]

The support bracket that was removed here at 11:10. Would you or anyone else happen to know what Polaris calls this part or possibly even have a part # for it? I've looked through their entire parts diagram and cannot seem to locate it.

[@rockspowersports]

@mikecaliber8345 It is the intake duct support bracket. Here is the part # 5264052-329 If you need the rubber bumpers that go on top those are part # 5412067 Factory screw part #7517386

[@JohnIngram-p9h]

What happened to the rincons?

[@98KingQuad]

Say the piston ring end gap wasn’t within spec, how would you fix that?

[@rockspowersports]

If there is not enough gap you would file it down to the desired gap. If it’s to large of a gap then you need new rings.

[@richardmartin6339]

Has anyone found a decent hand pump with a flexible spout for filling differentials?

[@JohnnyRebLa]

Someone explain what 2 up is.

[@OceanBreeze2022.]

How many hours was actually spent to complete this job? Thanks

[@JoePhounders]

Get a tri-pod. Please 🙏

[@johnnugent6516]

Arkansas Waven

[@anthonyohandley5761]

It's like 3500 some km I got a 2020 with 16000 km no issues lol

[@rockspowersports]

Awesome to hear that!

[@Ruxanik2]

When i saw your last video i didnot like the sound of the engine i guess i was right

[@TomBotham]

It's probably why the previous owner sold it!

[@TryRickPayton]

That will cost about the same as getting a new bike.

[@graggcain9496]

Why don’t you get a tripod so you don’t have to hold the camera

[@mozambique32762]

should have got a honda

[@Ajaxaxxess]

Valve shim buckets they use on those 570's are dumb.

[@GYPSY400]

Don't feel bad about charging people.... they pay for the years, not the minutes.

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

This is why you buy Honda! Dependability!

[@Nationalminer84]

I've tore a part plenty of Hondas too. It's all about how you take care of them rather than the name on the side. The Polaris Machines of the last 10 years are leaps and bounds above what they were making before. I wouldn't make a decision solely on the brand anymore.

[@agawa-rentals]

Never been a fan of the 570. They just don’t last .

[@jeffreybegeman9544]

Is this lady sweet on you?

[@johntucker9346]

you must have another job ...all this free labour not cutting it .....i sell used parts for a living nothing free here

[@hunterm4188]

Don’t buy JUNKY POLARIS QUADS if you demand reliability, they simply are not made for years and years of work like a Honda or Kawasaki.
