The biggest thing against the pioneer is lack of rear diff! Utility vehicles NEED unlockable rear diffs!!!

yea I got it too
I am still waiting on Polaris to fix the fuel injection problem with the 570

Seems like it is a virtual impossibility to get someone from Polaris on a phone

What problem are you having?

C4;

Got same email. Think that the 570 Polaris Ranger looks like a nice machine. We have a 6 year old Ranger 700 EFI which has been trouble free and a real workhorse around our ranch. I got another email , a few days ago, about the new Sportsman Ace which is very interesting.

We had a Sportsman 400 that we bought in mid-1990's trust was bullet proof.

I have a 2014 with 27 hours on it and as soon as you turn the ignition on the FI starts pumping gas, and floods the cylinder
I found no reference to the issue in my owners manual, and only found out about it when it would not start, and the dealer told me to bring it in.
I told him it wouldn't start, was there anything I could do.

He told me "put in a new spark plug". Started right up
Plug looked worse than my eXmarks 600 hour plugs, full of carbon and fully drenched with gas

Polaris has an issue, and they know it and cant seem to figure out a programming fix for it

Now I don't waste a second turning the ignition switch on to engage the starter

Don't get me wrong, it is a great little unit, and I have enjoyed it.

I think the ability to communicate with Polaris stinks and they need to figure out a FI fix

Good luck with Polaris on known problems, had a bad camshaft that they knew were bad and wouldn't stand behind, last Polaris I'll ever buy. Bought two Kubota RTV 900's ,that really worked out for them !
