2015 Polaris Sportsman 570 ATV Mods Vid-045

- This video is dedicated to 1 Crazy Nordlander (CZcams Creator).
The video walks you through a few simple modifications to my Polaris Sportsman 570 ATV.
-A Battery Relocation Kit
-Side Panel Latch Hardware Kit
The battery relocation kit makes access to the battery much easier and less painful for old guys' knees and bad backs. Not an issue if you're young and nimble (smile).
The spring-loaded side panel latches just make plain sense. Why didn't Polaris make these common sense modifications from the beginning? Join me as I make these modifications to a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 570 ATV. Thanks for your support.

Well laid out step by step for this kit👍 These are the kind of videos that can keep on giving😀
We are down to 18 hours...prob make in today or tomorrow! Long road...thank you!
I just completed the complete 95 video listing and that was over 10 hours of watching. will run all 95 again as a safety measure. I'll do that Thursday or Friday since it takes a while. I already sent Ray over to you guys to run the PLs as well.
Nice add on,
It will be so much easier to access it now!
Nice ATV to!
We have a 2012 Polaris 550 and so far it has been a very good machine!
Thanks for sharing
Adrien
Thanks much Adrien. Enjoy your warmer weather.
While watching it remind me my daughter had a kids version of this. She use run the battery dry. Then be sad until it charged again. The battery life was terrible. Not the same thing as your but it brought up a fun memory. Thanks. Now she want a car😞have a great day. Sent you out on Twitter and watched in full have a great day
Hey Tracey. Now that's funny. My grand daughter did a similar thing with her battery operated car. Funny the things they do, huh? Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Headed over your way. Have a fun week, girly. Oh, and time for you to get your daughter a new car. .....Ha, yeah, wouldn't we all like a new car? (smile)
Houndsman One 🤣thank you
Very nice and informative DIY video! Sweet machine too :) Hope you have a great week my friend.
Thanks C Dub's. Always appreciate your support enjoy hearing from you. It finally cooled off a bit and is down into the mid-80's which is like spring weather compared to that 100+ degree weather we've been having. We're still in drought condition. Thanks again and I'll keep looking for your adventures with your partner-in-crime (ha). Baah!
I used to have a Polaris Sportsman! I traded it for a boat. I've always wondered how to pronounce those fasteners. Any modification that makes things easier is well worth it.
Have a great week.
Bruce, this is my first Sportsman and it seems to be more than adequate for my needs. You seem to be the only person who noticed the pronunciation annotation ? Good eyes. You have a great week as well. Thanks for the support.
Enjoyed watching every minute of this video Buddy! Great information!
Thanks Interp. Glad you'e doing a little better. Hope you get the pond squared away the way that you'd like it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Houndsman One thanks I’m working on it!
Don't be Messin with Wesson (ha). It has a ring to it (smile). Later
Thanks so much. I ordered the battery relocate kit through Amazon and the side panel fastener kit from Quad Logic. The battery relocate kit is coming by this week end and the other is on backorder. I got three of those fastener kits for each of my sportsman but one battery relocate kit for my white 570. I will get a relocate kit for my old blue ETX and new blue 570 once that is out of warranty.
Thanks so much for doing this video!
Nordlander, it was a pleasure. I know you and I discussed this battery relocation several times and so far new location of the battery is absolutely fine. I don't know if you travel through high waters but it really would be nice if there was a drier location for the battery or if the battery could be concealed in the front compartment away from water. Of course, you then lose storage space. If you think of some way to totally enclose the battery, keep me informed. Best to you on installing the attachments. Note: When you get to the cable docking station, assemble and attach the battery cables onto the docking station PRIOR to attempting to attach the terminal docking station to your ATV. If you try to attach battery cables after you already installed the docking station, it's really, painfully difficult.
Cool mods to your ATV . Nice to see these type of how to videos .
Thanks Phil. I enjoyed your how-to speaker fix video and it was a job that I would now attempt to tackle after seeing your video. Thanks much for the support.
That Polaris Sportsman... looks cool and awesome. I don't know much about machines but getting ideas from here!
Hey there Mari. Thanks for watching. Yep, you'd really like riding this ATV. It's fast (if you want to ride fast) and it's fun riding through the outdoor trails. Thanks. Have a good evening. 😊
Great video and really good modifications. Thanks for the details and explanation
Thanks, the mods were definitely necessary because it hurts to bend down too long and to get access to the battery. Keep on having fun tractoring, Garden Tractor Boy (smile). stay safe.
Well done video Don! Great shots and well explained! I enjoyed the watch!! Have a great Easter!!
Hey John. Well, I had a great Resurrection Day (Easter) and spent time with a fellow retired Marine family. Thanks for watching the video and I'm still waiting for the thumb from Bxpanded. Later, my friend.
My Bxpanded thumb finally arrived 3 days ago. I didn't even open the box b/c of running around. I won't put it on for a while b/c I have three other major jobs to complete and many VA appointments but just wanted to let you know it arrived. Have a memorable Memorial Day. Later my friend.
Great!! I hope all is well with you!! I hear you on the time! Well, hopeful all your job come out great and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the GC!! You have a great Memorial Day yourself and Thank You Don for your service!!
The weekend is getting so close that I can almost _taste_ it! I hope your week has treated you kindly so far, Houndsman One!
You have my appreciation for your visiting my channel! I am very grateful, and am happy to return the love with a play *_in full_* and a sporty like from Bits of Real Panther!
May the rest of your day be amazing, friend!
Ha, I totally agree with you, Real Panther. The weather has been tremendously nice with fall-like conditions. I didn't think we'd get this sort of comfortable weather b/c it's been so hot and humid. Now the weather is super. Ha....so you can almost taste the weekend, huh? I used to"live for weekends" and now I simply enjoy them even more. Have fun over your weekend, Real Panther and more importantly, be safe😊.
Yeah, here in Iowa, October is typically the only "pleasant" month we get! haha
Thank you for the well-wishes, and you enjoy your weekend also!
Thanks for the shout out! I need to do this on three of my Sportsman ATVs
Sorry so long getting the video released. I'll be over to check out your radio video.
Great video Uncle Donny! Love it! Subscribed.
Good to hear from you, Todd. It's been hotter than the dickens around here and I've been wrappng up yard work and fighting off yellow flies (smile). Thanks for watching and will have a video not too long from now. Love to all.
That's a beautiful ATV! Full watch and view!
The grand kids sure loved riding during Thanksgiving break. I've been working on an outdoor project for several months and a part of it is cutting more ATV paths throughout the property. I may not finish that project until June or July 😓. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My sister had one of those atv's They were very comfortable. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Ray. Yep, the ATV is fun to ride and it doesn't get torture-test rides like my old Kawasaki Brute Force did years ago. I mostly used them to carry bags of 4 stacked bags of cement from one part of the land to the other. Heck, when I look back about 16 years ago I used to drag those bags of cement through the uncut wooded areas with a 2 wheeled hand-dolly. Now that was some torture but now I have better equipment to help with those tasks. Hope you're able to get some work done on your land where you'll build the cabin. Remember, I made reservations for one cabin room with a scenic view at your place. LoL Take it easy, Ray.
Years ago, you wouldn't dare buy a polaris unless it was a sled. Now everyone is buying polaris...nice machine!
Agree, Farmall. Hope you're doing well. Are you getting hammered with rain up there? We're hotter than the dickens down here (NC) and no rain in sight. Wife was up home (Gettysburg) and they're getting hammered with constant rain and cold temps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Watched your burn; will be over to catch the plowing action. Later, my friend.
@@houndsmanone4563 In the last 2 weeks it's probably rain 10 days. Today it's about 85ﾟ and Sunny so it's definitely drying things out.
Grabbing more of your time! Watching and Supporting!
You need to get an TV. Better yet, two ATVs for you and Miss Demeanor.
Good idea to relocate the battery 😀 - (I read your description). Thanks for sharing and HAPPY EASTER. 🐣
Cup o' Joe. I'm actually sitting here now enjoying a cup of Joe (smile). Thanks for watching and commenting. Yep, I hope you and family had a fine Resurrection Day. It was a pretty day and is the same today. Later and thanks.
I just watched your 2 minute Ma Mantis video and good test. Yep, I think I may shorten my videos a bit. Maybe it will increase view time and number of views (I don't know) but I never really have been doing this for videos to go viral (ha). The comments were disabled so I thought I'd comment through this video. Later CoJ.
Nice work, great video, thanks for sharing !!
Thanks GoTrails for watching and commenting. Have a fine week.
Wow that is so amazing my friend...good job!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Just watched your video of Pomeranian and shepherd. Liked it. 👍
Great project! Very well done!
Muscle car appraisal how's it going good to see you over here look forward to hear from you keep up the good work bye for now and God bless Ken
Hey there Kenny. Good seeing you're getting around (ha). Okay, it's about time for your annual skate board ride (smile). Take it easy, my friend.
Great video! Those fasteners worked great on my center console! Never would have found them if not for this video!
Thanks Shane. You know, the only reason I found them is b/c I was snooping around the internet for some way to relocate my battery which I was going to relocate to the upper-front compartment of the ATV. These latches sure do make it easier to get into the side compartments. BTW, in your Razor 1000, where is your battery located? Do you have concern for the battery being immersed in water, mud, and gunk? I like your bottom skid plate on the Razor (I think you have a bottom skid plate). Heck, maybe I've been watching too many different Polaris 1000 XP vids (ha). Take it easy.
It's one of the best things I've done. I have had to inspect that center console a hundred times and it blocks all light in the shop and it's black plastic so very hard to get all the push pins out. The new fastners I can do quickly and on the trail so it's worth the install. The battery for the RZR is under the seat which releases with a pull strap. I have a UHW skid on the bottom. It's a slick thick plastic that really helps rocky riding since it will allow you to slide over rough stuff with no damage or friction.
That bottom plate sounds like the ticket.
Good job I’m installing mine tomorrow your four wheeler is mint.
Tyrrell, check this out. My grandkids were coming to visit pap-pap over Thanksgiving week and they ALWAYS love riding the ATV and guess what? The battery was completely dead. So I had to take out the old battery for a new one. Removing the battery was a matter of minutes compared to bending down, crawling on my knees, and squeezing between all the tight-fitted tubing just to remove the shield, then finally pull-out the battery...then the entire reverse order to squeeze a moderately heavy battery back into a tight spot before even attempting to reconnet the terminal cables....YIKES! It used to be a nightmare. I removed and replaced the old battery in a matter of minutes which was GREAT. I do NOT regret relocating my battery for one minute. Whomever originally designed the existing battery location definitely was not an ATV rider. Strangely enough, I only had to access under my ATV side panels one time. I'm so glad you're making the easy mods. Thanks about the mint ATV comment. The ATV just doesn't get ridden much any more since the grand kids, nephews, and nieces aren't around to take her out. She sure is due for a good romp in the swampy bogs. isn't she? Have a great Christmas with family and loved ones. 👍🏽🤠 12/8/22
@@houndsmanone4563 oh yeah the easier the better the original battery tray is a terrible design. Be glad to have it in the relocation spot to much rain here in Tennessee doing it Friday.
@@houndsmanone4563 mod all done looks great to bad Polaris didn’t put the battery there in the first place.
@@tyrrellmastropaolojr7972 Super congrats, Tyrrell. I know you're excited to have it done. Now you're done having to lay on the ground to replace or charge your battery. Nice work. Safe riding and have fun. 👍🏽🤠
That's a great looking ATV! I've never seen one outside the showroom so clean! I don't have a Polaris, but I know those battery cables often jar loose or the batteries just run dead in cold weather. I could definitely understand the need to move it here!
Haha, yep Chip, you're right. The ATV is a bit too dang clean. In fact I was called out by Kappers Outdoors to get her dirty (haha). He mentioned the battery relocation is a bit better... BUT...one of his ATVs or UTVs had an issue with battery location. He said mud shorted out the cables since they got gunked-up. So I think I might have to create some kind of make-shift cover. Thanks for watching.
@@houndsmanone4563 I hadn't considered that, but I could see that happening. It looks like you have some room to work with whatever you craft, so that's good.
I got this atv 2015 the video is 3 years old? Do this guy even rides this thing 🤔 🤣 😂
Wow! You are a handyman for sure. I can't seem to find anybody around here to help out with different things mechanically that I just don't know much about. But it has been forcing me to learn some DIYs. Yet some things like alternators and such I know it's different from what you're doing in your video, but with my Vans oh, it's really hard to find good help even for good cash LOL have a great day mate and as always I always hit the up button. Peace and blessings to you and have an awesome weekend my Hound friend👍😄
Appreciate your kind words, especially calling me your Hound friend. I am definitely that (smile). Be good and take care of your little guy (smile).

Thanks Ray.
Great video Happy Easter
Thanks much Poet Maker. The best to you and family.
Grabbing more of your time... Watching and Supporting!
The modifications to the ATV made quite a difference. I installed a battery tender near the battery to give a self charge during down-time. Have you considered installing a battery tender on your zero-turn to keep your battery charged through the cooler months when the grass is dormant? Might be a great video, Ray. (hint...hint) 😊
Thats a nice upgrade kit pretty simple to install .But i like my battery placement on my Arctic Cat it is under the seat so it stays out of the mud and stuff....Thanks for sharing
Agree Tom. My Kawasaki Brute Force was the same way (battery under the seat...nice and dry and clean).
Amazing great work friend.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, S.K.K. Appreciate the support. Have a fine week.
Watching and Supporting! Grabbing more of your time!
Thanks Ray.
Great Vid. Getting at the battery on a 570 is a pain. May want to look at putting terminal caps on at least the positive connections... I learned this the hard way. My model was a 2014 570, which just had a metal strap around the battery to hold in it in place. Battery came loose, and touched the positive terminal on the quad which caused my electrical system to catch fire. Not a fun day. Models a year later like yours has the metal holder... Guessing Polaris learned something too.
Wow, good point, Richard. Man, sorry to hear of your fire. That would definitely tick me off if that happened to my ATV. Hope you were able to salvage your ATV. I definitely will take your advice. Thanks for the excellent tip. Have a fine week.
@@houndsmanone4563 luckily it was a warranty job. Lost my quad for a couple months though.
A Really good DIY. Like the mods on the ATV.
Thanks JD. I may need you to come and give the ATV a good drive (ha). thanks for the support.
How's she goin'? Those twist fasteners are a great idea. Makes accessing under that panel really easy. Relocating the battery looked to be a good idea too. Where it was would, no doubt, get everything on the trail splashed up onto it and it would be hard to get at to say put a jumper cable on the battery. Thanks for posting and you did a nice install there !!! Happy Easter!!!
Hey Grampie, thanks for the watch and comment. I hope this eliminates some of the back bending and kneeling (smile). Have a good week. Hope the weather is warmer up there.
How's it going bro, congrats on the 1K views on this video, that's got to be exciting!
... I dropped by to see hope you had anything posted,
..... I hope all is well, I look forward to hear from you God bless bye for now brother from another mother but the same father blessings to you and yours brother Ken
Hey there Kenny. All is well. I've been to a lot of different events, meetings, VA appointments, and regular body check-ups. Yep, gotta do it when your body tells ya. So listen to your body (smile). I'll have a few videos in a few weeks. Thanks for the support.
Great work. Thanks for sharing this
Hey there Tam. Thanks for watching and commenting. I will drop over to your channel to see what you've been eating lately (smile). Have a fine weekend.
Watching and Supporting... Grabbing more of your time!
I have a few more mods for the Polaris. Sure is fun to ride this machine.
Great great job. Love your video.
Thank you Lev. I just reviewed your channel and enjoyed your coin collection. Have a fine week.
Watching and Supporting, Grabbing more of your time!
Thanks Ray. So should I get you an ATV? (ha)
thats a nice quad! great info thanks for sharing my friend :: ))
Thanks for watching and the support. The ATV has been doing well after relocating the battery and it is one fast machine. Have a fine week.
She's a beautiful machine Don, Great Mod, Much better place for sure.Oh my aching back lol.
Ha, yep Robert, you said the right words (oh my aching back!).....and those words definitely resonate, my man. Hope all is getting a little better for Kim. The best thing for her .....is you. You guys click and her knowing that you got her back means a whole lot. Give Capone a scratch around the ears and under his neck for me. Thanks again for the support. Say hey to Kim. Later brother.
@@houndsmanone4563 You got it brother!
Nice work, you are very handy.
Hey there Scott. Thanks for watching and commenting. The mods are fairly simple. Getting hands into small areas is a bit complicated but all do-able. thanks again, my friend. Have a great weekend.
Nice works ..great video ✅👍
Thank you Ate Jen. Appreciate you watching and the comment. Have a great week. I just joined your channel after watching your videos. 👍
Nice how to video...I don't know how I missed this one..I like thinks at waist level, if I get down it's hard getting back up..my ole knees can't take it..nice modifications...it's a nice atv..take care Don...go have a great night
Hey there Jeanie. Yep, waist level is much, much easier for me too. Yep, I can get down but I need a "Life Alert" button to notify emergency authorities that there's a...Buffalo Down....Buffalo Down. Yep, when this old water buffalo goes down, I go down hard and I need more than a 10-count to get back up and recover (smile). I think I'm going to design and build a winch to hoist me back up when I go down (ha). I'll call it "The Tuff-Buff" for this ole water buffalo. LoL Stay tuned for when I produce this apparatus. (smile). Have a fine upcoming weekend.
@@houndsmanone4563 could I be your first customer...😂😂😂 you had me laughing...I needed that today...I started this week trying to eat better, my poor knees have the worst job in the world lol...sometimes Scott has to give me a hand to get myself up, poor fella....its a rainy, dreary day today...hope you have nice weather..take care and have a blessed weekend
@@outdooradventuresandtravel6479 Yes, Jeanie. I will send you one of the proto-types and you can give your true-view of the product (smile). Dreary days are days to get indoor things done. Dreary days are also days when my body talks to me. Yep, my body uses a nasty-toned voice on bad-weather days. If It wasn't my own body doing the talking, I'd probably hire a lawyer to take action against it's comments (ha). Jeanie, take it easy and keep telling your knees, "hey knees, I'm in charge here!" Oh, and let me know how that works after you say that to your knees. 🌝 Nothing like a little Friday afternoon humor, huh? Baah!
@@houndsmanone4563 yes I definitely need the humor...my knees will just laugh at me I'm sure 😂😂😂....I've been doing alot of nothing today..resting lol..
Great looking ATV
Thanks Bob. Appreciate you watching and commenting on this video. Hvae a fine week.
Nice ATV! The add on's look good and useful. All ready for summer. Think warm. Later

We're there. Mech. I got most of tractor gear in the ready. I just used a sub-soiler I purchased months ago and it's a little beast. Yep, I'm ready. Be safe, Mech.
ATV's...Mod's...once you start...you don't stop. lol Though I now see I have a new mod I need to look into...having a quick release for my plastics would be fantastic with the riding that I do and how often my plastics have to come off! Thanks for sharing this!
Roger that, NC Boyz. The kwik-release fasteners make side panel removal a whole lot easier. I almost lost the original plastic plug-ins several times pulling them out but we'll see how this holds up. As you could see, it's not too difficult to install these kwik-releases but....how long will they hold up? If the spring gets gunky and breaks, I can always revert back to the original plastic plug-ins and the rivet holes will never be seen since the outer panel is not drilled. good luck with your install. The whole process should only take 30 minutes but my riveting gun kept slipping and the stem would not break off. So I snipped the excess stem off and then ground down the sharp edge with a file.
Houndsman One appreciate the added information. Going to be looking into them this weekend when I do my parts shopping. Waiting on my new ecm to get here...been down since I got back from Mud Nationals a month ago 🤦🏻♂️. I’ll be keeping an eye open for any other goodies you share 😎
Great video buddy
Thanks John.
Excellent video! wonderful!
Thank you for watching and the support. Enjoyed watching your video of the beautiful waterfalls. 👍
@@houndsmanone4563 Thank you! I am your new friend!

Hey there Ray. How's the exam going? Hope you get the certification without any trouble. Thanks much for watching and I've been a little busy helping folks and not much videoing but I wanted to come by and say hey. Later my friend. Hope you kick butt on the exam.
Great amount of views on this video since the last time I watched. Great video that's why. 😁👍
Thanks brother. Hope you can send us an 18 wheeler full of rain. We need it (smile). Thanks for watching and the comment. Have a fine weekend.
Now you're talking my language! Polaris! Yeah man! Hey, I didn't know you even had this machine! lol. Boy, it looks like it needs some mud on it! Maybe we'll have to go riding sometime! You are pretty handy with machines and mods! Thanks man, full view :). Lets see some Riding vids of this one! Take care, Happy Easter, Semper Fi.
Haha, Kap, you'd be amazed and yes I guess it does need more mud on it. Of course, I'd clean it off immediately after I got home to make it looking good again. That's just how I do and was raised. Things just cost too dang much. Yep, we'll ride. I'll call you and Mrs K right when I'm outside on your front lawn doing donuts (ha). Better yet, eating donuts (ha). Can't wait until you get your Polaris. I've never ridden in or driven a side-by-side UTV. Yes, my brother...The Few....The Proud.... Say hey to Mrs K.
@@houndsmanone4563 hmmm. Where do you live again? Texas? Georgia? Maybe we could get a "youTuber" Trail ride on a weekend like in the middle of where some of us channels are. Like say Arkansas or something for a weekend mountain ride? Wouldn't that be cool? Josh Beckett, My slice of heaven, Iron Mike and I, you... who knows????

Lucia, thanks for watching and commenting. Have a fine week. I used google translator to send this message. I hope it makes sense.
Lucia, obrigado por assistir e comentar. Tenham uma ótima semana. Eu usei o Google Tradutor para enviar esta mensagem. Eu espero que faça sentido.
I'm in NC, Kap. Not too far from Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune. This is not where I was born and raised but my kids traveled throughout as I got PCS orders to numerous east coast duty stations. They're all grown up now. My youngest is soon to be 38. Hard to believe I was taking them out fishing and hunting as young tykes and now they're grown up and gone.
I have always wanted one of these thanks for the review LIKE Gary
Hey there Gary. Hope you're having a fine Independence Day. Thanks for your support. I'm way behind making any videos but I'll get on it once it cools down. Thanks again for the support.
Very well explained, even I can follow this :) 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a fine weekend.
One thing you might want to keep in mind with that battery location is if you are ever mudding, you could short out the battery & electrical system if a bunch of mud cakes and connects the terminals. This is what happened on our electric buggy and one of our other machines. Guess that means when we go riding I'll go through the puddles and you'll have to go around them ??? LOL. Take care bud.
Ha, that was a good one, Kap. But if you remember, the battery was originally down low directly in front of the engine. A dumb place for it, I'd say. Personally I was going to relocate it up in the front glove compartment but opted not. I may have to if I get it slammed. My other ATV (Kawasaki) had it's battery directly under the seat high above the ground and I never had a problem. That's where Polaris should have placed the battery in the first place. So for now, you're probably right, I have a better chance of the battery shorting out.
@@houndsmanone4563 Honestly, I'd just make a small shield to cover it, plastic or heavy tarp could even work, just to cover the terminals, then you won't have to worry about it. Just looking out for you, cause it cost us some $$ for that one...
You know Kap, I actually was thinking about doing just as you mentioned. After I read your comment, I thought....wow, the relocation helped bring the battery higher than ground level but didn't totally conceal the terminals. Therefore I' considered making some type of cover and Voila....you mentioned the same thing. Great minds! Thanks again for coming back to relay the idea. I'll let you know what I come up with. Later Kap.
Hi Don! Well done on the mods! It’s amazing that these third party kits can make real design improvements over the factory designs. Enjoyed the full video. Take care!
Thanks Martin. Hope your cement guy came to pour concrete. Looking forward to the next video and the video on driving the skid steer as well. Enjoy your weekend.
Awesome video liked keep up the good work and stay connected 😀
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the support.
The older Sportsman I had the side panels would snap in and out, that was not too bad of a system. I think the battery on that one was under the seat. Always good to improve on the OEM locations of things if it makes life easier.
C-Mac, yep, this is my first Polaris and I never even thought about where the battery was located. I had a Kawasaki Brute and that little thing was named appropriately. It would run like a bull charging out of a stall. The battery was located under the seat and never got dirty or had any problems. I'm hoping this Polaris holds up strong and doesn't end up being a headache. Thanks for watching and the support. Enjoy your week. Hey, I got an old rod and reel to show ya. I'll do a little video when I get my act together.
Good mods! Should make things a lot easier!
Hey Rusty tree. Thanks for watching and commenting. I do hope the mods hold up. You never know until you have them for a while. Later and thanks.

This was good info 👍🌻
Thank you, Joy.
Sweet ride😄
Thanks for watching and commenting, Heart of Gold. Yep, the Sportsman runs hard and fast. In fact, a bit too fast for me. I would have said different words 12 years ago (ha). Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing how u modify ur ATV 😎😎😎

Great video - everything is really well explained and shown so well in the video. :)
Thanks much Stacie. Hey, I just joined Steve Stoltz channel and guess what. You might know him (ha). I viewed his channel and watched a chicken video and said...Stacie....is that you?

I like how you bring us step by step good job but you’re say it’s easy am like oh no that’s not easy 2 do lol good job my friend
Hey Patrice. Well, my brother said the same thing. It is fairly simple but the first thing to not do is.... panic. If you take your time, it all will fall right into place. I appreciate you watching and supporting. Take care of those cute little babies (smile). Have a fine week.
Houndsman One awww thank you and have a blessed week 2
i need to fleshen up my 4 wheeler..now is the time to do it.
Yep, get your 4 wheeler done while it's still kind of cool outside and you don't have to crawl under it or put it up on jacks when it's hot and nasty. Love your channel. Have a fine weekend. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice information
Thanks S.k.k. Appreciate the watch and comments.
I like your Polaris.
Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting. Have a fine week.
well explained - fullwatch&like
Thanks. Are you still playing B-ball or the season over for summer?
Bike looks brand new
It pretty much is. The boys used it the most and didn't run it much when they were here. I pretty much keep it up for them so whenever they come home to visit they can ride. I checked out your ATV and it's nicely modded-out. Subscribed.
Relocating the battery. For old guys like me. Ken FV 🤠👍
Ha, Ken you're never too old. How old are you anyways? You'd do fine regardless of your age. Hope you and Jane are doing well. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hey, enjoyed your video where you, your daughter, and the kids were singing along with you "The Magic Bus". That was a great video. I bet the kids sure love when you come around. That's the way I get my grand kids. Go see them, get them all riled up ....and then leave (smile).
Very nice ! Like 51. Have a nice day my friend.
Thanks for watching and hope you have a nice day too.
Very nice sharing!

Thank you Lisa
I was finally able to watch it all the way through just right now because we went to church this morning and had family over for dinner. Thanks for doing this. The latch kit was bonus footage. I hate those plastic retainers! Mine are all beat up. I will be ordering both the retainer replacement kit and the battery relocate kit. I have three of these units. Even in 2019 Polaris is being stupid about where they have the battery. They haven't learned! Is there a place to hook the OEM battery hold down strap on the relocate kit. I t looks like the one is still on the old bracket you reuse. Is there a spot on the new bracket to hook that rubber strap to? Thanks a ton for this!
Hey there Nordlander. Hope you had a great Resurrection Day. The metal tray in the battery relocation kit DOES have a tiny hole where you may insert the S-hook on your rubber battery retainer strap. The instructions are quite informative. Hope this helps and sorry so long before releasing the video. It's about a month old. Here are the links from Quad Logic regarding the two kits. I meant to put them in the Description.

@@houndsmanone4563 Thanks. I am going to get at least two now and wait for my new one to get out of warranty. Polaris really digressed with the decision to put that battery there. Sure maybe less voltage drop with shorter cables but...that is the only thing that concerns me with this kit. The cables look heavy enough though. The added connection block is nice for adding accessories.
I watch and listen with pleasure! 😺 🐲 😍
Sorry, I just saw your comment. I just checked out your channel and it looked like you were kicking some butt on the chess board. You're tough! Just joined your channel and hope you hit your 1k soon. In advance, congrats.
Going to order this after the 4th of July. Battery is toast so while I'm down there removing the battery i might as well move it with this kit. How is it starting for you with the added length of cable?
Still starts like a breeze. Please realize, it's a new battery. I need to put it back on the battery tender. I should have gotten an AGM battery but so far, the OEM is fine for now. Take care of all those maters (smile).
@@houndsmanone4563 I am not sure if the AGM battery is worth it except for the maintenance and the acid spills part of a conventional lead-acid battery. I guess I got nearly three years out of it.
Hello friend Very good video
Thank you for watching and your nice comment. Have a fine weekend and if you ride an ATV, I hope you get to ride over the weekend.
Cool videos make more I subscribed and liked👍stay cool my friend😊
Hello Kevbot. I just visited your channel and joined. You have quite a few games posted. Thanks for the support.
Houndsman One no problem anytime my friend and thank you so much for supporting me😊👍
Quad Logic now sells this battery relocation kit for larger batteries.
Thanks for this info, @eem3iii. Some Polaris Sportsman owners want a larger battery. Quad Logic's new kit should allow for that larger battery. Have a fine week, @eem3iii 👍🏽🤠 01/22/24
Nice
Thanks. I checked out your channel. Pretty nice guitar playing.
HELLO MY FRIEND ! I LEFT YOU LIKE NUMBER TWENTY ONE !
Thank you JJK. Hope you're enjoying the mild weather. I really appreciate your support; thanks again.
I haven't heard from you lately, like myself summer is a hard time to share any videos because you are so busy. Hope all is well...
Hey there Nordlander. Been doing a lot but haven't made any films of the chores and things I've been doing. Will have a couple videos in a couple weeks, I guess. I just got back from a 975 mile round-trip drive to GA to pick up a roll up door which you'll see in a video of my project I've been doing. Thanks for checking in with me. I'm still sticking around (smile). Thanks again.
@@houndsmanone4563 Good to hear!
The room that was created from the battery removal, can you put a small water tight ammo box in it?? For tools or other supplies?
Dang, Kyle, that's a really good idea. Never even thought about that.
Ammo box would be easy button, easy access is the key, can't wait to see what you come up with.
Sports man is very nice
Thanks Tuan. I need to ride it again. I haven't ridden it much since I've been working on the land. Thanks again. Have a fine week.
Cool.. you obviously know your stuff there
Hey there GoodStuff. Thanks for watching and commenting. The work required is pretty standard and not complicated but the difficult thing for me is getting down low to the ground to actually install the modification kits (smile). I should have done this stuff 15 to 20 years ago when my body could withstand gravity better (smile). Have a fine upcoming weekend and thanks again for your support.
I ordered a large battery relocation kit from quad logic. Battery tray accepts a larger battery.
Thanks much, Earl. That's great info.
Nice video i am new friend
Thanks for watching and commenting. I watched your video about skate racing. Nice video.
Does your rear suspension sag to the point where it's almost leveled out? Yours seems pretty stiff unlike mine
Hello Darren. No, I haven't had any issues with the rear suspension sagging but I'll keep an eye open since you mentioned it. My Polaris is a 2015 and don't know if prior-year or after-year models had issues. I ride 2 up at times and still no issues. Does your entire rear sag or only 1 side? Are the shocks shot? Spring/Coil on the shock damaged?
The entire rear end sags a nice bit and dosent go back anywhere near where its suppose to be. The shocks are also on the stiffest setting. Nothing looks damaged to me I was gonna order stiffer springs online but I didnt know if this was a common issue. Mine is a 2018 sportsman 570 non ebs
@@darrenhicks94 I hope you figure out what the issue is, D. You would think newer model 570"s would retain the same suspension or if anything, be given a more sophisticated set-up. Keep us posted when you find out the culprit. I hope it's nothing major. Heck, there's always some kind of high-dollar fix the dealership's service department throws at an owner. Have a fine week and drive safely. Pleasure chatting with ya.
Wiring was tough. Black line was short making it difficult to flip around.
Hope you got it, @2d40. Both of my cables were long enough for my 2015 Polaris, however, they definitely were not easy to bend when making a backloop. I hope you made a video and posted it, I'd love to view it. I learn from other folks vids, as well. For me, the whole process was physically tough since bending is an issue for me. That's why moving the battery was truly essential. Since making my video, my bending situation has only gotten worse. Just take care of yourself. As my Mum used to tell me "Health is Wealth". I'm now in my 70's and my body is like a Nestles Crunch Bar.... "hardly damaged on the outside but all broken up on the inside".
After 28.5 years in the Marine Corps it took its toll on my old body. So bending less truly helps. Take it easy, Happy New Years, and thanks for commenting. 👍🏽🤠 12/30/23
You placed the battery right beside the spinning rear wheel? All the mud etc.
Yep, I know Mike, you're right. I wish I could have placed the battery in front compartment or if there was a compartment under the seat. I'm thinking of making an enclosed compartment where it is but for me it's much easier for me to bend and kneel to do work on the battery. My knees just cannot take it too much more. After 28+ years in the military, my knees are too shot and won't tolerate much more abuse 😊. Thanks for watching and commenting. Will stop by your channel. Have a good one.
The battery on the scrambler is in the same location and has been there from the factory since 1999 and never had a single issue
What holds the battery down love the spot it's in good job
First and foremost, thank you for watching and commenting. The battery uses the same original metal battery outer shield/box that was on the ATV. The battery also had a black rubber stretch cord with two "S"-hooks that stretched over the battery while seated in the metal box. So the original metal battery box and the original black stretch cord are still used to keep the battery from being jostled around while you're driving hills and trails. I simply love the new battery location. I have not had any issues. Since I made this mod, I've had to change out my battery (the old battery died). The new location made the entire process as smooth as a baby's behind. Bending down on my knee was much better than crawling or lying on the floor to accress the battery cavity. It was a nightmare changing a battery prior to the battery relocation. Thanks for such a great question, Rich E @user-et1bp5mn8x. I should have discussed the battery strap-down method during my original video but I just seem to forget stuff when making a vid. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🤠 9/21/23
Love everything ATVs ! I have more ATV equipment on my Facebook page for anyone out there who uses them for business .
B&A, thanks for stopping by and taking a look and leaving a comment. I was out cruising on the Polaris and checking my Trail-cams. Thanks again.
How do you keep your ATV so clean?
Thanks for watching Bobby. Well, it's not that clean now. But I clean it up real good after a run. I used to mud run but those days are behind me so that saves a bit of work now days but I still try to keep it clean after running on the land. Different story when the grandkids, nephews, and kids run it. Thanks for watching.
Not sold on this idea. Maybe if all cables were replaced instead of hacking in and extending. Could extend a single fused hot to a more accessible location for charging. Stock battery location better for weight distribution. A good battery lasts years
Thanks for watching and your comment, Scot but I disagree. This set-up is simply ideal for me. No more getting on my knees to access the battery and wires underneath the ATV frame for me. I'm in my 70's and any relief I can make on my body, is great. You're apparently younger and much more spry than I. All my younger years were spent serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. My knees, back, and other body parts are in need of repair or replacement 😄 so I'll let you younger guys do it your way. Thanks much again for stopping in to view/comment on my channel. Happy new years to you as well. 👍🏽🤠 1/16/23
Could you take a Sawzall and cut that metal out to open it up for a bigger battery?
... how's that battery holder working oh, now that you've used it for a while?
.... although doing the update video on it might be a good idea all right bro God bless the forward to hear from you by 4 now Ken
Thanks Kenny. Not a bad idea. The battery is doing fine and I did think of cutting out that piece of metal but I'll wait until this battery dies then I'll make a decision if I'm going to slice that section out. Thanks again.
