I bought it used from a Gov. Trade in. I've had to replace rear drive shafts recently. While I had it up on jack stands I noticed how much play is in the front spindles. I looked at bearing and they looked good. Could it be the spindle hub is worn out? I ordered new bearings anyway. This is my first side by side so I don't know the specs. Yet. I did notice that the spines are flush with the hub where the washers sit. No room to tighten into hub. Is this normal

Some one pleas tell me why the Polaris dealer told me I had to have angle drive fluid for the front diff instead of on-demand fluid was he just wrong or what don’t want to screw my ride up

New to this forum just picked up my 2019 850xp premium and have been plowing every day sense :big-grin

What has anyone done to restore the factory color since it turns purple after time in the sun? I have seen a video of someone scuffing with a scotch brite pad then using Minwax polyurethane stain, It looks very good although a little glossy. My resurch shows the product is used on wood and indoor. My concern it's durability on the trails and in the sun? I don't want to have it peal, crack or turn yellow. Is there anything you people have used with success?

Hopefully this can help someone. I asked the question a few years ago and received no answer. My power steering schit the bed years ago. I drove around without power steering for years. That really sucked. I made a uninformed purchase and got lucky I suppose. I bought a used unit off of a 13’ 850 with minimal miles. The mounting plate was different but I was able to swap those. It fit perfect and worked right away. I was concerned I’d have to take it to the dealer and have the power steering ecu reflashed(I was told the power steering has its own ecu or gets flashed separate? Got me). The part numbers were different on the units. I paid a couple hundred buck for the new used unit. No way was I going to spend $1800 on a wheeler I paid $4k for back in 11’. Anyway, maybe someone will find this info useful.

Hey guys,
I have a 2010 XXC, I have done some work on this over the last few weeks, cleaned around all the wires packed under the seat / gas tank etc. We went for a run and bike worked for a good hour. Started the bike with the lights on than turned the lights off and the bike died. Thought it was strange and started the bike with no issues and drove about 30min and the bike died in the middle of the trail. It flashed CHECK DPS and red check engine light came on than all power died. Tried to turn the bike on a bunch of times and no power to anything, 100% dead. Screwed around with all the wires and than jumped the stater solenoid with a screw driver and the bike turned over. I turned the keys on and still now power than jumped the solenoid again and the bike started and had power to everything than died right away. Jumped it again but had someone on the throttle and was able to keep it going. As soon as I let off the throttle and rpm went down the bike would die, zero idle. I was able to run the bike home without stopping while having the CHECK DPS and engine light on the whole time.

The next day I was able to start the bike and it would idle no problem but same error code and no PS. Ive dug around all these sites and found some good info, I found that the stator wires under the seat, one was almost broke, I fixed it. also found one power wire at the solenoid that was broken, I fixed that but still does not fix my problem. Greased all the connectors etc. Now with the bike running with the lights on and I turn them off the bike dies. this is where I am now. Still the P0637. I have a hard time thinking the PS box is toast with all the other issues going on. Hidden ground I am missing maybe???? Does the DPS need to be rest with BUDS?
only electrical upgrade I did was G2 tail lights wired into the stock plug. I have charged the battery on trickle charge also

My old clutch was trashed from some debris, the stock clutch was very noisy, I thought maybe it was the valves needing adjusting.

I only drove it a little with the stock clutch but it was topped out at 50 in high.

The cv tech is very quiet, I changed nothing, just bolted it on.

It starts to move the machine in low right at 1500rpm

Engine breaking seems the same maybe slightly better.

In low it runs right up to the limiter 8000rpm and about 38mph

In high it runs up to about 7000rpm then it's out of breath, it also hits right at 60mph. I'm pretty impressed that it picked up 10mph, heck I had a 570 Polaris that would only do 62. It definitely doesn't have the low end torque the 570 did but once its moving it felt pretty close.

I'm impressed so far, granted that's about 5 miles just driving around my house, I will post back after some trail and hill driving

Can you adjust the front brakes as the pads wear, ive looked and i cant seem to find a adjustment
