Recently did a 34 mile ride through the woods and snow areas on my 2013 850 Sportsman, cleaned machine off with a car wash spray hose. I let the machine sit for a month and took it out the other day. When I put the machine in drive and hit the throttle, it lurches/jumps at first then takes off normal. There is a new Polaris belt on with about 400 miles on it. I am wondering if there is some flat spot on it from sitting after riding it in the below freezing weather. The machine has about 1,900 Hatfield and McCoy Trail miles on it , anybody ever have this issue? Thanks

In a battle of six-passenger Utility UTVs, we see how the 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 and Can-Am Defender MAX XT HD10 compare – by the numbers.

When Can-Am launched the Defender lineup in answer to Polaris’ class-leading Ranger machines, it didn’t take long for the Defender to also make space in the six-passenger arena to take on the mighty Ranger Crew as well. The biggest shot came from the Defender’s HD10 platform with a 72-horsepower 976cc Rotax V-Twin engine, which put Polaris at a disadvantage with its 900-class Ranger motor. The following year, Polaris answered with the Ranger 1000. Also available in the Crew model, the Ranger had the horsepower, but was lacking in other areas like handling and functionality compared to what Can-Am had done with the Defender. Not one to rest, Polaris was already hard at work on the next generation Ranger. Recently, the all-new 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 made its debut. How does it compare to the Defender MAX? Let’s take a look at the numbers to see.

Single seat turbo power!

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that the boys from Packard Performance were among the first to outfit the new Polaris RZR RS1 with a turbo upgrade kit. Packard Performance is known for it’s big horsepower upgrades for the YXZ1000R, RZR and Maverick X3, so it only makes sense that these guys would be quick to build a power up package for the revolutionary new single-seat platform. We’ll keep you updated on the horsepower numbers as we learn more.

Hey guys, I purchased a 2003 trailblazer 400 a couple of weeks ago and figured this would be a great spot to share info. Im in Tijeras, New Mexico

from what I can tell it has an aftermarket pipe, and a K&N. pulls hard in the mid to top end, bottom end is a little lacking. Im not new to 2 strokes, Ive had several 2 stroke vespa scooters, one that I modded up to 22hp (thats a lot in the scooter world). Anyway, nice to be here.
