Greetings from Slovakia,Central Europe!

Heelo there, It is now almost two months since i picked up my 2017 850 XT-P tripple black.

500 kilometres so far and I am still amazed..i had 2007 800 Max Ltd before and the difference is huge.

Unfortunatelly no snow here in Slovakia at the moment, but cannot wait to test it in heavy snow.

Just about to pull the trigger on a 2017 Phoenix

I’ve read all threads related with the Phoenix on this site and the whole damn internet. I would say its 50/50 of people saying its crap and the other half saying its a great bike.

My plan is buying this bike for my 6 years old son, I know its going to be a little big for him at the beginning but still think It’s better to get a bike where he can grow up for some years. And considering the throttle can be limited I’m confident about having the chance to teach them how to ride safely without any problem.

I’ll post some pics as long as I get the bike.

Hope this guys at Polaris finally did your homework by fixing some of the problems listed here since 2005.

Electric problems

Have a 86 trx250 fourtrax, engine and chassis all sound. Wiring is a bit dodgy. Connections and fuses are up in front of handlebars so whenever I turned to the right it would kill the engine. Have gone through and disconnected everything and blown it out with air gun. Fuses are good but there are some wires fraying. Was working fine until cleaned out. Now it won’t spark and have no clue what to do know. Any suggestions?
Cheers

2015 Rancher Warm Winch and Snow Plow Install

Earlier this year I bought a 2015 Rancher with IRS, DCT, EPS, 4×4, and heated handle bars. I do lawn care and snow removal, and my boss said he’d go in on a snow plow kit. After a lot of research I didn’t find too much info or options for this newer quad. After talking to some local atv shops, I decided to go with the Warn 2500 Provantage winch and 50" front mount plow. Maybe this will help someone else looking into different options. If anyone would like specific part numbers or pointers feel free to ask.

I did the install myself. It took a whole day, but it was worth it. Not sure if it’s typical, but you do have to remove the whole front brush guard. Everything came with decent instructions, but the pictures were really dark. The pins that are provided for the front mount attachment are complete garage. As I plowed my driveway for a few minutes, they fell out about every 3 pushes. I went to napa and replaced them with the hitch pins shown. It was worth the five bucks. That was my only major complaint about it all, but it’s all good now with the simple fix.

A couple things I did different than what the instructions said was that I mounted the winch contactor in the back storage compartment instead of under the fuse box. There wasn’t any room in my opinion. Also, I hooked the winch in/out switch directly to the battery instead of to a wire that gers power once the key is on. This way I can operate the winch/plow without the key.
