Some guy we met on the trail said a tech at a Polaris dealership claims that if you don't plan on going very fast (whatever that speed maybe) it's best to run your machine in low range. This keeps the CVT belt from slipping and extends the life of the belt. He says he was going through belts quite frequently and the guy at the dealership told him this. He claims he is getting more life out of a belt.

So I gave it a shot for a few miles. In low range I could still attain the speed I was riding at in high range and it didn't really seem that the engine was over revving. Unlike 4 wheel drive trucks with low range that will max out around 30 mph in low range.

The trail we were on was a bit challenging so nobody really went above 20 mph (just guessing), my Xplorer 300 doesn't have a speedometer so I don't really know.

Any of you guys ever heard the same thing?

If not, when is it best to use low range overwise? When pulling stumps out of the ground? Or going up steep hills to prevent spinning out?

2015 Sportsman 850 Rear Upper A-Arm bushings sloppy/loose, same on both sides. been like this since new. My buddies is the same on his 2013 850. Where they designed to be like that? Adding grease firms them up which I do regularly. To be more specific the bushings don't move the whole A-arm moves on the bolt where it goes through the bushings

Just sent my block to US Chrome In Wisconsin, once I get it all back together what is everyone’s opinion on “breaking in the motor” ive heard several different opinions

RE: 2017 Sportsman XP 1000

Need some advice as I am wading into unknown waters.

Recently, out of the Polaris and decided that the next upgrade will be a LED Light Bar or 2 Light Pods.....which I plan on mounting on the brush guard.

So my first question, is there a preference between one bar light vs. two pod lights.

Second, is how many lumens should I be looking at. The initial research shows not only various prices; but lumens ranging from 1,000 - 6,000 lumens. Is there a sweet spot there I should be satisfied with?

Any recommendations, are appreciated......this is all Greek to me as of tonight.

Thanks, Semper Fi!

Hi All,

New to the site. My current ride is an '09 Rincon, but I just placed a deposit on a Renegade. I'm picking it up in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!! I've been dreaming of this machine for over 5 years now.

I'll bump around on current topics to see if there's any immediate must know info. Like someone told me to wrap the exhaust pipe. I want to see if that's really needed. Someone else suggested wheel spacers which I really don't want to do. Although I am changing out the tires day 1 for 26" Bighorn 2.0s. Love those tires.

Any advice or recommendations, PLMK.

I have a 2002 Expedition 425. I want to purchase new wheels but i do not know the correct pattern. When i go on alot of websites they dont even have the polaris expedition listed so i want to know what other polaris model has the same pattern as my expedition so i can just look for those. Thank you for any help
