Seriously thinking about trading in our 2 Polaris' towards one..! I like the 50" width, good power(can watch u-tube clips beating or keeping up to 800's for short distances), and price. Couple reasons it's cheaper besides cc's is, shocks and some suspension parts, and wheels/tires which are pretty lame(all can and will be upgraded!). Sounds like a new engine though, which of course Polaris raves about.. Was wondering if anyone owns one or knows someone that does??! Would like some real life reviews! They only came out in red too?!

Yeah, they're gearing the 570's towards more budget minded people like us.. And w/50", can still get on ATV trails. Plus enough cargo room in back to throw a deer in!

I had a 1st gen RZR 800 that I just recently sold. Due to them being reclassified as a class 1 their value has gone up and they are selling better.

I did like the 800 but the fuel mileage sucked. The 570 should be better.

Check to see if they changed the air box design and location. Many motors went south due to sucking dirt into the intake due to the filter being located right over the rear drivers tire. Hopefully they also fixed the location of the dipstick which on mine required the removal of the passengers seat and the rear firewall that was held on with Torx fasteners. The oil filter location was also a challenge imho.

But it was a blast to ride and handled ridiculously well for an sxs.

Great little RZR! Had the opportunity to drive a couple of them now and put on some good miles on a couple occasions. Plenty of power, motor ran really nice. I would also comment on what I thought was one noticable difference from the 800's is the fuel economy. I drove right around 175 miles on a full tank of gas over the course of a long weekend. Was really awesome!

Awesome, thanks for the replies! Thought I heard somewhere in the little research I did that the air intake is driver side and has a spiral design that is supposed to reduce air contamination.. need to double check on that. Even on our Sportsmans, the oil filter and dipstick are in a stupid spot. Just asking for a chunk of dirt to fall in..! Pretty much my only complaints w/Polaris though cool

Both the clutch air in and the engine air in are located behind the drivers left shoulder on the side of the box. As far as the dipstick and oil filter accessability....much improved. The oil filter is in a great location to get at! No "swirl" effect on the air box. The air box is in the back of the machine and just has a flat media style filter like found in most pickups nowadays, easily accessable through the access cover in the bottom of the box.

It's good to hear Polaris did the right thing and fixed those problems. It is also good to hear that they have better fuel mileage on the 570. I am a bit older than I used to be so I didn't drive mine like I would have when I was younger but I was still getting only 8-10 MPG or so with mine most of the time,which was not very good as far as I was concerned.

They really are a fun machine for 2 to ride in and the lower seat position is way more comfortable and stable than other SxS machines I have ridden.

Good post. I'm actually thinking about doing the same type of trade. We picked up a second 4 wheeler a few years ago so my wife could ride and I don't think she's rode it more than twice...

My interest in the RZR came about after hearing of the ability to go on the regular wheeler trails.

I would have to agree with Nama on this. owI have had a few chances to drive the 570 and was very impressed with it. Mileage was great, comfort was good. i am driving a RZR S right now but would not hesitate on buying the 570. Handled the trails as good as the bigger ones and could really make it skoot, a few mods to this buggy and you really got a dandy wheeler for 2.

My only negative is it runs a little lean from the factory, so it makes it run a little hot. It has a temp guage you can monitor on the speedo cluster.. Can buy fuel controllers that richen the fuel, cuts back the little backfire, makes it run cooler.. Other than that, love it! Think it's less tippy than a normal 4-wheeler, due to it's low center of gravity. Plenty of power too. Had it going down a gravel road today at 45 for a 1/2 mile, could take yr hand off the wheel and plenty of power to spare! Rides the ditches smooth like a Polaris, buy one!

My next one is going to be the 2013 570. The new ones have the turf mode on them so you only have one wheel driving when you want it to. You actually find your self on pavement more than you would think and with one wheel driving it saves bigtime on the rubber. I currently have the 800 it is a 2011 that I got last april and this weekend turned 900 miles on it. The stock suspension does need to be upgraded on these base models but once you do it makes the machine very comfortable.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
