What did I break?

Went out riding yesterday and when we loaded up, I noticed this thick grease all around the front wheel. I dont see anything broken but obviously something happened. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be and where the grease came from? Pics attached. Thanks.

abnormal looking factory rzr cage failure

We went riding on Saturday with some friends. The right front tire came off the outside bead and sent the 2012 rzr 800 into a roll at about 25 mph. The cage snapped behind the passenger and caused severe injuries missing even more severe injuries by less than an inch.

OK what’d I do…520209-5 code

When we got to our ride today rzr wouldn’t start (2015 rzr 1000 xp4) could tell it was a low battery. Of course wouldn’t you know it I packed everything to survive a zombie apocalypse except jumper cables

So after cursing at myself for a solid 10 minutes we drove back to a convenience store and got some cables. Then I went to get my backs seats out and the damn things wouldn’t release (10 more minutes of cursing) so I decided screw it and I pulled my truck up by the rear tire of my rzr and jumped to the cables aiming from my battery to what I believe is the starter solenoid. Rzr fired right up. Left it running and drove back to staging site. I get in the rzr and notice my check engine light is on. Throwing 520209-5 code. Checked here and noticed most where saying bad voltage regulator. What say ye…did I screw it up by jumping by the starter solenoid?

Polaris winch

I installed a 6000 lb polaris winch on my jagged x and used it a few times for the first time yesterday. I noticed it seems to be incredibly slow compared to my brothers polaris 4500 lb winch. First off, is this normal and 2nd, can it be changed to spool in faster?

Keeping dust off outside/ inside the windshield

Accidentally discovered how to keep my full front windshield 100 percent free of dust. I use "Meguiar’s" Mirror Glaze #34 called ‘Professional Final Inspection’ on all my plastic surfaces for a really durable shine, also helps alot of dirt from sticking. I decided to try it on my windshield cause dust was a problem on inside and outside. After applying a liberal amount, letting dry for a minute or two, then buffing with a clean rag (I use a tee shirt) I haven’t had a speck of dust cling to my windshield since. This spring in northern MI is very very dry so very dusty. Accidental discover was great!! PS I got the Meguiar’s at autozone in a 16oz spray bottle for 7.99.

Tilt steering won’t stay?

My 2015 900 trail, the steering wheel won’t stay in a lower posi sitcom when using the tilt lever like on a car.

Is there some bolt I can tighten, or an easy fix for this ?

I really don’t want to haul the thing all the way from up north, to my house, then bring it in under warranty

New SxS owner…. not sure yet???

Hey everyone, been on the web looking for years at this forum, always been a die hard Polaris and ATV guy but ever since the RZR came out I wanted one, I saved and finally got a new 900S Titanium in November…. I have owned many sportsmans and even raced GNCC on Scramblers and Predators….

Big question is has anyone else second guessed the switch? I have had it out 3 times on trails and I can’t say "I love it!"….not sure why, its fast and no doubt fun, however I almost feel like is less "personal" of a ride than the Sportsman I replaced, not sure I like not seeing the tires while riding or not getting the option of body weight to effect the ride and handling.
Has anyone else struggled adjusting? if so what did it take to start loving it?…. My wife can’t believe it because I have whined about getting on for years…. any insight would be appreciated… thx
