Mudder’s Polaris ACE 570

[Smitty335]

Looks like fun was had. Took my P5 and RZR out today as the temperature was nice. Just received the Go pro hero 5 black today. Will post some vids when I get it charged and figured out.

Found some Rain X for plastic at O Reileys last week!

Doors arrived. Cab covered in mud without them.

Those two EMP top bumper bolts were a PITA, no clearance with the tube hanging down inside. Missing 2 welded nuts in a hard access hole, had to use hemostats to get OEM nuts started. Had to reverse front carriage bolts, worst than the same ones on the P500s Strongmade. Had to heat gun the under hood tub for side brackets. It looked like an easy job, but seldom is.

Another rainy day, so swapped out the winch with one with synthetic rope. You guys keep giving me more ideas!

It's rediculous isn't it ?.........lmao

That ace looks nice for one up riding on a budget! Nice seat, comfortable and got some zip I bet! Is it stable?

 

[Mudder]

Seat is lower than P500 and feels better at speed than P500. Just a second machine to keep up with or lead friends on atvs. Two (rigs) are better than one. Could not pass up the used deal and giving my old atv to a family member. Given the permanent thumb injury from a MC accident, no more atv thumb throttles for me.

@Mudder i test drove a 500 ace a while back. It had A LOT of grunt for a 500. I look down and almost doing 50 effortless. I’ve been fighting a sore back and this seemed like it was comfortable to me!! Just looked like it would get muddy fast and get hung up a lot due to low ground clearance. They are selling this red 500 for $4999 and seems like a bargain

@JSPEED , back issues also and I find the ride much better than P500 so that was the reason to grab the used one. This 570 has more power than I need and can’t imagine the 900. Use 4wD as 2wd will fishtale in a heart beat in the mud. Thinking of adding spacers as being 48 wide, would still fit through restricted gates- will decide when local parks open back up in April. Full doors are the way to go in mud for sure. Find myself going at least x2 the mph than on the P500 and still a smoother ride. From what I read, the dual arm front suspension was added in late 2017 for the 570s and is even better. Owned 2 polaris 2 stroke atvs for 19 years, same belt. Hoping for the same as this is just a atv with a seat, and not a heavy RZR.

Screwed by Polaris engineers. After short ride, would not start like a bad brake pedal interlock switch so came home. Turns out a 20 amp fuse powers headlights AND the interlock circuit. Headlight bulb socket came out of its housing and the bare plug contacts shorted out against metal. New fuse and all well, but missed some good weather riding. Fix found on search in “other” forum (helpful members). Must have been the same engineer mindset as the Honda guy that designed the P500 battery cover nuts.

very cool little machine.i almost got the 570 for the wife and a 900 for me.the wife will not get in a machine with me,she thinks i'm trying to kill her.i launched a dune at coos bay down in oregon and messed her tailbone up.the dealer took forever getting back to me on price/availability so i started checking out the talon,and ended up in the p1k.i'm still looking for a used ace 570.

I take the smoother riding ACE to lead the wife when she rides her Rancher, but the P500 is our two up ride and workhorse around the property. Like the ACE MTX roof radio when by myself to crank it up. 570 is strong and quicker than the wooded trails will allow (60 mph).
