I’ve posted before about what to do and why, but I just asked on can-am site and now I’ll do it here again. …. why did you polaris riders go polaris over can-am? I’m looking at the scrambler 1000 and now the highlifter 1000 since it’s coming out with the 2016s. Can-am I like the xmr, scrambler is sliding out of my eyes some cause I like the thought of bigger quads and more room for a passenger. I don’t want a touring quad. I know many guys like the touring but I’m not all that into them. The looks of that highlifter is amazing, but the xmr I like the read placement for the passenger footing. Then the Polaris legit 4×4 is awesome! Polaris is a hair cheaper on price too. I’ve YouTube some and seen some highlifter out there doing bogs, does anyone have one and have a passenger seat on them? Anyone that reads this and wants to share info please do so.

Alright this is my last effort befor i say screw it and ride it and hope she doesnt blow. My red temp light is on and never goes out. I have washed out the radiator, made sure it has coolant. I have changed both the thermo unit AND the oil temp sensor with no fix. When i ground the thermo unit my fan does kick on. I have not ridden it long enough to see if the fan turns on as i have only had this bike a month and was trying to fix it befor i tore something up. But at this point with no fix and trying everything im about to just ride it and forget the red light. Are these things smart enough to detect a stuck t-stat? Or air in the coolent system? my oil is all good but seems kinda full, would this throw the red light if its to full? and lastly if your going to say look in the repair manual; dont bother replying as i am needing advice on a fix and ive already looked in the manual numerous times i am needing advice not a look in the manual. Thanks in advance!

I have had this winch for about a year or so now. Today I really got to test it out and am really impressed with it. I read a few comparisons on winches and one of them said that superwinch rates there winches at 1.5 stall. Meaning it won’t stall out at 3500lb it would stall at1.5×3500. Not sure if it is true but it pulled harder than any other winch I have used.

I was stuck a handful of times today and was trying to get out of the ruts as soon as I gave it gas it would slide right back in them. I purely used the winch and it pulled me right out of the ruts with no help from the atv. I have never been able to do this before with my old winches.

I don’t know how many times my old viper 3500 would stall out, you always had to use the winch and the machine to get out. The winch wouldn’t be able to do it on its own.

We will see how this winch holds up year after year. As long as the longevity is there I will buy another terra again. Plus the value of the winch I paid 200 for mine with cable. That is a better price than viper and I feel a better product than viper winches. Warns cost an arm and a leg. If you are in the market for a winch don’t hesitate on the terra series they have the best value I feel. The only thing I am not sure on is there customer service I haven’t had any reason to contact them so I don’t know how that rates. Motoalliance, the company of viper winches, has top notch customer service. That was the only reason I really looked at getting another one after my viper took a crap.

Sorry for the rant hope this helps someone in the winch market.

I’m getting ready to change springs on my 2014 850 xp, was wondering about changing shocks. Putting better springs any suggestions about shocks. Don’t want to spend $900 on shocks though.

Ive lost all keyed power to my accessories. The fuse looks good but when I checked where the fuse plugged in with a test light, I couldn’t find any current in the fuse box. Any suggestions? I had this happen once before but a new fuse cured the problem. Will try a new one tomorrow, but the lack of power in the box has me stumped

Hall of Fame Class of 2015 Includes Retired Executive, Dealers, Distributor & Key Supplier

MEDINA, Minn. (July 29, 2015) — Polaris Industries Inc. today inducted a retired executive, two premier dealerships, a leading European distributor, and a key supplier into the Polaris Hall of Fame. They were honored for their significant, long-term contributions to the company’s success during a ceremony at the Polaris National Sales Meeting held in Las Vegas.

The Polaris Hall of Fame was established in 2004 during the company’s 50th anniversary. Retired employees, Polaris dealers, and key material and technology suppliers have been recognized annually for their roles in the company’s growth and success.

“It’s our privilege each year to honor special individuals and partners like this year’s Polaris Hall of Fame inductees,” said Polaris CEO Scott Wine. “They have exhibited extraordinary dedication and commitment that has made Polaris a leader in the powersports industry.”

The 2015 Polaris Hall of Fame inductees are:

• Bill Fisher, who served as Chief Information Officer (CIO) from July 1999 to the end of December 2014. During this time, he oversaw significant expansion and dramatic upgrades of all elements of the company’s information systems. These enhancements were instrumental to the company’s significant growth during that period. From 2005-2013, Bill also served as General Manager of Service, overseeing all technical, dealer, and consumer service operations.

• Don Ricke (inducted posthumously) founded TEAM Industries, which since the late-1960s has been an invaluable supplier of suspension and driveline components for a wide range of Polaris vehicles. An engineer and manufacturing specialist, Don Ricke developed innovative solutions for the unique needs of clients such as Polaris. He was also instrumental in helping Polaris develop its first ATVs in the 1980s. Don Ricke died in 1997 and his family owns and operates TEAM Industries today.

• Gene’s Polaris Country evolved from Gene and Jackie Anderson’s modest, suburban Houston, Texas, lawn & garden dealership into a Polaris Hall of Fame business with their passion for riding Polaris products, commitment to customer service, and by delivering on the slogan, “Ride Before You Buy!” Gene’s became a Polaris dealer in the late 1980s and achieved tremendous sales success with Polaris watercraft and off-road vehicles (ORV). The dealership is a leader in Polaris ORV sales, service, and engagement, meeting the needs of customers who use the vehicles for work, hunting, or mudding.

• Triple S Polaris has become a leading Polaris ORV dealer in the Western United States through years of hard work and dedication by owners Jack and Suzanne Hubble. They grew their first dealership in suburban Salt Lake City through premium customer service and a deep engagement in recreational riding circles. They now serve Polaris ORV riders from their original store and a second dealership they opened in 2012 in West Haven, Utah.

• Brandt-Polaris Oy, a division of Finnish powersports industry leader Otto Brandt Group, the country’s exclusive Polaris distributor since 1994. The Brandt-Polaris Oy division was founded in 2003 and has over 65 dealers in four countries, primarily in Finland. The team’s commitment to the Polaris brand and connection to its dealers has helped make Polaris No. 1 in Finnish ORV market share and No. 3 in the snowmobile business.

Our quads are used for a variety purposes by an even wider variety of users.
In my case, both quads are used as moderate speed gravel road machines. Sometimes loaded with gear, passenger, or moose quarters ……. also, both of my quads are relatively old. ’90 and ’99 …… the ’90 bought new.

My inquiry here is to the owners of quads that are used in a similar fashion as mine is used.

What are you doing to make your quad more dependable, comfortable, what kind of repairs are you doing that aren’t abuse related ?

How many miles on your machines ?
Do you tend to keep your quads for a long time ?
Just wondering what you folks are doing to keep these great machines doing what they were designed to do …… 🙂
