hi i have a sportsmen 450 2006. Looking to see where I can get the boot kits for it with out paying a arm and leg. heard you could get them from a auto parts store if you know the cross reference. also looking for the plastic body. Any place cheap. Why the company dot have a better fix for how hot they get. Thanks

 

From what I've seen in other threads them polaris boots are the way to go. Lots of complaints on the fit/function of aftermarket boots. Gorilla has some heavy duty boots but I'm sure they are as much(or more) than oem's. As for plastics check ebay or bikebandit.com. Not sure if there is an upgraded exhaust heatshield for your model but it's worth checking in to. Use plenty of heat tape on the new stuff when you get it and that should help too.

 

welcome to the forum. switz is right in saying stick the oem polaris boot for a better fit and longer lasting boot kit. imo

 

Boots are not that exspensive even OEM. $19 from here OEM motorcycle and ATV parts from Honda, Yamaha & Polaris – Cycle Parts Warehouse Even my Polaris Canadian dealer sells them for only $30.

 

Thank you for the information. Any suggestions on other oils for servicing the ATV.

 

Had good luck with the C_V man on ebay, gotten several boots and axles from him over the years, good prices good fitting products, boots heavier than stock 1-800-338-2326

 

I always use popo fluids. Not really any more expensive than the other stuff and lets your dealer know you are taking care of the machine. That can be especially helpful with warranty work or if you ever try to trade it in.

 

30.00 from a Ontario Polaris dealer?
I get mine for $40.00 plus the taxes in Rickward's (Kearney) Comes with the Boot/two clamps and packet of Grease.......Royal sells them for $20.00 .........There is two on my wife's Quad right now that I am trying/testing out...........So far so good, But the clamps that came with them I could not use.......Put the factory ones on........Caper......

 

thanks for all the help.

 

We get some better prices here, I guess being a border town they know they have to sell for less or every one will just go to Sault Michigan's Polaris dealer.
