Due to a Polaris manufacturer's defect ("Phantom Check Engine Light") on some 2017 850SP Touring models, and with the help of a million emails from me and big-time help from the GM of 4 Seasons Motorsports in Rye, AZ, I had occaision to spend time with both the 850SP and the 1000XP Touring models. Even though the bikes have identical dimension specs and differ only in a 10hp difference, I've concluded the following:
* The 1000XP EBS is not near as aggressive as the 850SP - very effective but much smoother.
* Brakes seem less effective on 1000, taking longer to slow the bike down.
* Seat of the pants power differential is subtle. The 1000 is just a big stronger feeling all the way thru the power band.
* The "Stealth Black" of the 1000 actually has a subtle glittery treatment. Kinda cool, I guess.
* 850 display light up with a blue cast; the 1000, with an orange (more pleasing to my eye) cast.
* 850 has single rearview mirror, left side of handlebar; the 1000, dual mirrors. Biggest advantage for me of the two.

Any questions, let me know,

Anyone know anything about these?
The price screams garbage, but the tread pattern seems legit and being an 8ply, "should" make them pretty durable.
I can't seem to find any specs on them. Curious if the ply rating is in tread areas only or if it's carried into the sidewall.
Anyone run these?

This afternoon I got my 1999 Traxtor up and running after having a "clutch bearing?" replaced as a result of it not starting by the electric start. Now it is back together I have discovered another problem that didn't exist prior to the above work being done.

When I started the ATV the shift selector light showed that it was in 5th gear, which apparently isn't a problem; however, once forward OR reverse is selected I can only shift from 5th into 4th and from 4th back into 5th BUT cannot get 3rd 2nd or 1st gears be it in forwards or reverse.

If I hold the shift button down a little longer than perhaps is "normally needed" all 5 gear selection lights flash continuously until I press the shift up or down again at which point either 4th or 5th gear is engaged.

As said, prior to the "clutch bearing" being installed I had no problem with the gear selection and was able to move from 1st to 5th and back again without an issue.

Any suggestions as to the problem will be appreciated and hopefully it is not a serious issue.

I have a 2006 Sportsman 800 and want to replace the belt.

My father in law said he had replaced the belt on his ranger without removing the clutch so I stripped my 800 down to the clutch and it looks like it would be possible to stretch the old belt off and possibly get the new one rolled on.

Has anyone tried this before or does anyone have an alternative method to remove the clutch without the puller?

I have a 2017 SP high lifter edition but im having a hell of a time trying to find a back rest for my girlfriend....any suggestions?

Hey guys. Names Travis, recently purchased a 2017 renegade 850 xxc. I live in about the most northern part of Pennsylvania you could go. 2 miles from good old Lake Erie. Interested in definitely upgrading my bike as the time goes on. Already purchased a tuner from thebom.
