570 hard gear shift issue

Hopefully after a good break in shifting will be easier. Belt may be a tad wide on the new one and putting pressure on the clutches making it hard to shift.Plus I know these things have a higher idle than the old Sportsmans of years past which may contribute to it also.Or at least the first year model 570 that I got to try out at the old shop did.

OPT, glad you mentioned the idle, I noticed when I backed off on the throttle it had a very abrupt stop. Again not sure if this is break in related or adjustment issue. Even my SP800 wasn't that sensitive on the throttle engagment. Looks like I have a lot of learning curve on these new models?
Thanks OPT!

The more I hear about them, the more I realize Polaris made a step in a good direction. I live my single jug Fuji, won't be trading anytime soon. But a 570 will eventually replace it.

Do you still stop by the shop OPT? What's the word on the 570 engines? They are getting better mpg than the Fujis.

The 570 definitely has a lot more power than the old 500 had. I never had a Sportsman 500 but had a Scrambler 500 before and I could just imagine swapping out the 500 for a 570 in that chassis. That would have been one quick, sporty 4x4 for sure considering it weighed almost 150 lbs less than a Sportsman 570.
