Hi guys. I'm hoping you can help me out.
I bought a 2012 Sportsman EPS 550 from a buddy of mine who found out he was expecting a baby right after he got it. My question is - As I look at the various sites online that sell things for them, there's never an option for what mine seems to be.
There are 550 XP's, and 550 EFI EPS, which mine also has both of, but I've not found many places that show a 2012 Sportsman 550 EPS.
Am I not understanding this? Here's what Polaris calls it -
ATV-12, 550 SPMN EPS B.MIST PT
Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to order items for it and get the wrong thing because I don't order for the right platform.
Thanks!

 

Polaris is going over board on model codes. Different codes are for body color,specific options on that machine.The original shipping list was in the crate(that we gave to customers) has your specific model code.See if it's in your manual or tool box.Look at the model breakdown on this list,can get confusing.

Your quad is basically the 2012 550 XP with power steering. All 550 XP models have EFI. It would be safe to buy anything for the 550 EFI EPS. Not sure there is really any difference between the two models other than the power steering. Both have the same size gas tanks from what I could find.

 

Great machine! Mine is a 09 550XP - 4000 mi - 515 hrs........... Little or no trouble/

 

Yeah, that's where I got that model code above. Sounds like most things for a 2012 550 sportsman are pretty standard. I hope. Maybe I'll just try calling before ordering stuff. All I really want in the near future is one of those cargo things for the back that also doubles as a seat. Whatever they're called. And maybe a brush guard up front.

Thanks all for your replies. @Mongrol - I really like mine so far. I haven't had much chance to take it out because most places to ride are a pretty good distance, but when I do, it's a lot of fun. I had a check engine light this weekend. Code 84-8. I could only find codes for an 850 though, but it said it was an engine speed code. I might look around here for some additional info regarding that. Wonder if it had to do with riding in low gear too much unnecessarily?
