Forget the Polaris bags. ATV Accessories Atv Stuff makes the best bags I have ever used in 10 years of ATVing. American made and high quality.

2012 Polaris 550 Touring EPS ADC - YouTube

My ADC started working again today. Being intermittent I'll bet it’s going to be a fun one for someone to figure out.

Nice to have it working.

Nice vid! Thanks for posting.

I think having the camera down where you had it allowed it to pick up some funky squeaking noise near the engine bay. Just amplified by the camera which seemed a bit odd.

Tires look to be working quite well. I do some thing around the yard, so I am trying to find a happy medium with trail riding and not tearing my yard up with such an aggressive tread when putzing around the house.

Nope, that's the way it sounds. I think it's tied in with the ADC but not sure.

To me the machine has been quite noisy since I first got it, at least noisier than I would have expected. I wasn't sure what to expect.

These are pretty aggressive tires. I would not want to ride them around my yard on the lawn.

If it's intermittent I imagine there is some kind of electrical issue. Hope they get it solved. That video shows how well the sytem works when it is actually working. ADC is one of those things that got added to the Polaris lineup shortly after I bought my 2006 X2 500. A few months after I bought it they came out with the 700 (for about $300 more), camoflage, and ADC. I was so happy....

It works great. I do wish that it worked at all speeds.

It would be nice that if you wanted go a little faster that you could. As soon as you touch the throttle it disengages the ADC and off you go.

There are two reservoirs right next to each other, one is for the brake fluid and one is for the ADC fluid. WHY did Polaris come out with a special ADC fluid? Polaris has more "special" fluids than all the other manufactures combined. And if you happen to add brake fluid to the ADC reservoir it would be catastrophic. It would have the same results as adding engine oil to the brake fluid reservoir causing all of the rubber components to become soft and swell destroying the entire system.

It does work great for crawling down steep hills.

I think we are going to drop it off as soon as Doug’s new 570 RZR gets here and he goes and picks it up.

I’m just glad that mine is under warrantee for as long as I have it.

I do enjoy riding it.

The power seems to be getting a little better as I put some miles on it, I'm up to about 225 miles.



It is an "aggressive" machine and these new Black Diamond XTRs are awesome tires.
