It's my buddies quad, his 18 yr old nephew was driving it. He walked away with scrapes and bruises and a sore hip. Nobody saw it happen and the rider can't recall what exactly happened...
Wow lots of wrecked quads here. Bummer. Here's my blue 19 1000 and green 850. The 1000 has 27x9x12 maxxis 'zillas front and rear on 12x6 stock steel Ranger rims. Had to grind the brake calipers about 1/4" and also use 1/4"spacers. 100% worth the effort, the rim protection is so much better than the 14" rims. I posted an info thread in "wheels and tires" with more pics for anyone interested.
I'm considering taking the sway bar off. But I ride pretty crazy so I'm curious how much more body roll I'll get when hanging the rear tires out at speed. Anyone done it? I have my stock springs cranked all the way stiff already to stop from bottoming out so much. I'm also looking into some Fox, Elka, King, Walker Evan's or similar shocks to try to get the suspension on par with the 450 Mxers I have. Any input on aftermarket shocks?
Ran tracks for 5 years on my Ranger 900 and it just turned the machine into a tank. It was fun but was tough on axles, loud as hell, and topped out at 40...
How are tracks running on 850s? Strain the engine? Issues? Like/Dislikes?
Want some input before big ass purchase..
Hi guys
looking at a new 1000 or 850 and coming from canam 650
hows the belts hold up in these machines ?
I ride hard tech trails with some mud and hill climbs
I also want to get tracks with my next ride so just wondering how the belts hold up
This PO1000 just squeaks like crazy. I thought my 2014 PO 850 was bad, but this 1000 makes my 850 sound quiet. Short of constantly pumping silicone lube into the bushings, what options (if any) exist to calm all this noise? Lubing the bushings is good for 3/4 of a day ride, then its back to...
My sportsman 1000 turned over very slow today when I started it. Then I noticed my dash flashing on and off, more so when I would give it throttle. I checked the volts and it’s about 12.8 idling and goes up to about 14.8 when giving it throttle. I have an agm battery in it that’s only 6 months...
I was wondering if anyone knew if the fender flares would mount to a 2018 1k XP? To buy the factory set up for the '18 it's like $300 but the replacements for the '20 is under $150. From what I can tell the body is about the same! Any ideas or advice?
