Sorry!!! Got to post about how dumb Polaris is!!!

So this is how dumb Polaris is.. Their 2013 Scrambler 850 they were dumb enough to put on a "press fit" crankshaft timing gear and thought that it woukld stay put!!! On an HO motor!!! LMFAOOOOO.. So their fix is to cast it onto the crankshaft so when it wears out not only do you have to replace the gear, you have to buy a whole new crankshaft and tear the engine COMPLETELY apart!!!

MORONS!!!!

Going To The Dark Side…. :)

So after 3 1/2 years of ownership my Sportsman 800 will be picked up by its new owner next Thursday. Was an awesome ATV for me and it was the first Atv I’ve ever owned.

I’m shopping around at two local dealers for its replacement as we speak…. 2015 Can-Am XMR 800. Finally the XMR comes in the G2 chassis which I’m super excited about. Geared 15% Lower this year, Commander Rear Differential, Upgraded Axle Shafts(Holly Beasty Units), and standard shocks instead of the air ride. I think Can-Am finally got it right this year with this chassis so I’m jumping onboard. So far I have had the chance to do some riding with a 2014 Outlander 800 XT and a 2015 Outlander 1000 XMR.

The question begs, when will Polaris come out with a High lifter edition Sportsman 1000? After losing a lot of money in modding my 800 I decided its best just to buy one that is already built and warrantied! I could buy an 850 or 1000 Sportsman, but I don’t have the ambition to do Wheels/Tires, Clutch kit, Axles, Front Diff Fix, Lift, Rad Relocate and Snorkels… It would be way more expensive then the XMR.

Anyone else feel this way?

Argo swamp fox 6×6

What fun! Went through some sloppy muddy trails and this thing preforms better than expected! We wernt able to hit any deep water to float around in but I bet we would have tried if we found some. We did do a doughnut though. The argo is a late? 70’s modle and runs great with its original engine. It was a treat to get to ride around in one.

I’m not posting a for sale add but it is for sale. Anyone know what it’s worth? (I’m wearing blue)
