I wanted one with power steering, but hard to find used.
I wanted a Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS but can't find a
used one.
I don't want to spend any more money than I have to.
But maybe I will.
Thanks, Kliph

 

The 570 maybe a hard one to find used right now since they have not been out for long and the majority of them may not have power steering since its a $800 add on option.

Many people would oped for a good winch or nice tires and rims upgrade instead for that much money.
Maybe I would pay $200 for P.S but not almost a grand.

I rode and owed many ATVs and notice they are not hard to steer.

 

Have you realized the way cheap hardware and electronics usually work and last? A 200 dollar power steering unit? Imagine the P.O.S that thing would be. A cheap steering dampener goes for 150-200 and they don't work that well or last very long. How would a manufacturer be able to warranty anything that cheap? You get what you pay for and in powersports, that saying is always true

 

Power steering is a new feature that's why its so expensive right now on ATVs and will drop in price. Like the first computers were $4000 and Microwaves ovens were $800 in the 70s.

Remember when air conditioning and power windows were considered a option on a car, now they only come with all cars standard.

I,m curious to see how these power steering hold up once they are a few years old and have a few thousand hard bush runs on them.
I just think SS Rims with nice tires is more bang for the buck then power steering for the same money.

 

The one the dealer has is a 2007 Grizzly 400 Auto. 4x4, 401cc.
>>> Grizzly 400 Automatic 4x4 has many of the same great features as big brother Grizzly 450, including four-wheel independent suspension, in a lighter package powered by a fuel-efficient liquid-cooled engine.<<<

Not sure they offered power steering or IRS in that model year in the 400. I'm thinking they didn't but could be wrong. The Grizzly 700 was the first quad with power steering and it came out around 2007 or so.

 

Look on your sticker next time you buy a new car. They charge you for the power windows and they charge you for the A/C. They usually aren't standard options. Even if an option is standard , that doesn't mean it is free. You pay for everything. Power steering will never be a 200 dollar option
As far as reliability goes, I know the Hondas and yamahas have been holding up pretty good. They are going on 7-8 years offering PS now. Everyone seems to like it but you lol

 

Not for $800 (For Me) to make something that's "easy" to steer just "easier". I can buy a lot of gas or get a nice 3500lb Warn winch or big wheel SS kit for that or less.

When a ATV is hard to steer , maybe its time for a wheel chair instead.

@ Kilfp
Did not know they still made the 401cc in 2007. The ATV is so close to the 421cc Grizzly . I doubt 20cc would be any difference due to a 3.5mm stroke differance. I,d still look at it.
Check their specs out on this link, they are almost 99% the same machine.
I know the 450 has diff lock,but the link does not state it. http://www.atvreviewnetwork.com/enth...e2=38369&go=Go

 

Power steering is useful on a 2 up big bore. Not needed on a mid sized atv anyway like kilfp is looking at. I was more referring to the fact that a 200 dollar power steering unit will never happen. I've never owned a PS atv but if I was shopping for a new big bore atv, I'd certainly rather have it then not. A lot of people used to think that if you needed irs, that it was time for a wheel chair. Times change. PS will also act as a dampener. Ask gncc and hare scrambler racers what their most important mod is, 8/10 will tell you it's their steering dampener

 

I just was saying maybe as a $200 option I would look into P.S but if that day never comes then I guess I do not have to worry about it.

I not paying almost same price for a 500KQ with PS as a 750KQ without it, but that's just me.
A 500KQ with $1500 worth of engine mods will never be like a stock 750.
