Doh cut my first tire

We rode Ivy Branch on the HMT yesterday. Got a call that a friend from another group had messed up his front wheel on his 900XP. They asked if we had a spare. SURE! We rode over and loaned him my spare. And away we went.

You can guess what happened next.

Yes that’s right…. I cut a tire… Actually my first believe it or not.

DAMNIT!!!! I still think my voice is echoing amongst the hills of WVa. BUT, it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. I think it was just gouged and maybe rolled off the bead temporarily. We got the tire (BajaCross) to hold air enough to ride out. I do not regret helping a fellow rider/friend out one bit. And I am not bitching. I’d do it again the same way next time. We actually laughed it off. :rofl3: Shit happens… We just packed it up and hit Quaker Steak and Lube a little earlier than planned at Corridor G.

All in all it was a great ride on Ivy Branch. A little dustier than anticipated. The weather was perfect.

Ill handling 900XP!

My 900 turbo is great until I really get on the throttle on higher boost, like above 6lbs of boost. It pulls nice for a bit then just carves one way or the other, it’s hard to keep it on the road. It seems fine on pavement or hard road but on gravel it’s swapping lanes like crazy. Very scary to drive. I do all my testing on gravel so I have to figure out what the heck is going on. Thanks, Dan

Inactive display unit!!!

On Friday night I went to RiderX’s web sight set up my unit and did the MAP updates. Down loaded them to my PC, then ZIPPED them to a 16GB USB stick. Put the stick to the cord for the unit. I lost EVERYTHING!!! I have a black screen now. I can not get anything to come up. I tried doing it again all over. That did not work. I real need this fixed before our trip on the 14th. Please try and help me out. I called Polaris and they where no help. Told me they sell the unit, but no nothing about it. It is s RiderX deal. I could not. Find any any info on how to get ahold of ANYONE so far. Please try to help me. I’m lost!!!

Alaska trail pics

Scoping out some spots for an upcoming photo shoot today, thought I’d share. We were about 30 miles off road and over a mountain to a secluded bay. Rain cut off a lot of our test shots but we still got some great locations. Love that beach shot. Going to do some HDR and if I get a chance, a long exposure night time aurora shot. Photos and video to promote my guide business on Facebook and website. Keep in mind these are iphone pics, will be using the real camera next visit.

Ordered Ventracing’s Donaldson Air Intake

Hi all! Being that I live 40 minutes away from the nearest parts place, could anyone tell me what parts I might need to install my new air intake for my 2011 RZR S 800? Also, I’ve searched but couldn’t find where anyone has connected the Donaldson Air Intake to the between seats std air intake box, if anyone has done this could you privide parts list and an idea how you installed the assy? Carefully read here on using a plate to seal the bottom of the air box and like that idea alot!! Thanks!!

PC-5 rev limiter?

I have a turboed 900XP with a PC-5. When I’m pinned at 11 lbs of boost I hit the rev limiter. This is supposed to be a 13lb turbo kit. I went into PC 5 and found the Rev Xtend parameter and it says 9000 and the "key" box beside it not light up so i can’t change it. The problem is, it’s on the limiter at 8450 by the gauge in the dash. Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks, Dan
