rpm issues

I have a 2018 defender 1000 max cab, Seems sluggish in the mid range. Wants to hold at 6000 rpm, then slowly creep up to 7200 rpm. Even from start to finish, it will excellerate hard up to about 45 mph, then start to pause around that 6000 rpm till it slowly gains speed and rpm. Any ideas out there? Is this normal?

Thoughts On Windshields?

Hi Guys,

I've got a 2017 Sportsman 1000XP 2 seater and am considering adding a windshield to block the wind. To me they look kinda funky but if it would block most of the wind, I think it would increase the quality of the way I ride.

I also know they have different heights. Pros, cons?

Thoughts?

Thank you,
Scott
