Got the X2 out today for a ride around the hood. It rolled over to 800hrs and 11230 miles. It has been my most reliable ATV I have ever owned and hands down my favorite. Never been in the shop for anything since I bought it in 06. I have done all the maintenance myself since day 1.It starts right up and doesn't use any oil and I changed it every 50hrs.

Oil-Mobile 1 0W40
Tranny-5W20 motor oil
Front Hilliard-Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF
Air Filter-Polaris

That's impressive. Not many atv's with that kind of mileage on them.

THAT"S AWESOME RONNIE!!!! :fing02:

I can't wait to see how many miles you hit before it gives up the ghost? Have you ever replaced any suspension bushings? And how many belts in the 11230 miles?


Have you always run rotela.
Mobile 1 from the 1st oil change.

The newer models (even your beloved value line) use way cheap materials than the older machines.

its great you've had so many years of good service.

the only other ATV I've seen with more miles was my neighbor who passed away a few years ago. He had a old honda foreman with over 32,000 miles on it. He was a Dairy farmer and a WWII vet and drove the thing every day to check cows. I believe he was well over 90 years, that foreman was also full time 4X4.

Maintenance is what you have to do if you want the "plush XP ride"

Which imo is total crap. My 12' 400 rode just as good as the XP does. In fact probably softer, more like a couch.
