need help with 2015 900s ball joint

Guys,
I’m in the middle of putting my high clearance arms on and noticed the rubber cup is gone on one of my a arm ball joints. called the dealer and of coarse he doesn’t have them and will take 4 days. He says they are different then every other machine except the 2014 diesel rangers. Can someone help I need to ride this sunday if possible.
Thanks
Jody

Rebates!

I see Polaris is offering rebates on even the mighty 1000………………that absolutely means something better is coming soon. They done this in the past. Anytime they offer rebates on their flagship machine, it means they are trying to reduce inventory for something else. I may be wrong, but I don’t think so. Let’s see what happens. I’m thinking the turbo 1000 will be announced in July. Anyone else have some thoughts?

Senate Introduces Legislation to Ensure Appropriate Safety Standards for Side-by-Side

On February 18, 2015, BRC’s Don Amador, a SXS enthusiast, asked you to contact Congress because federal regulators were trying to impose their "street-oriented" view on SXS users and the industry by proposing a Rule which could have devastated SXS recreation.

BRC asked you to send an email urging your representative to cosponsor H.R. 999 — The ROV In-Depth Examination Act. Your response was awesome! That House bill has gained a lot of support.

Recently, Senators Dean Heller (R-NV) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced bipartisan companion legislation (S. 1040) that would require the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study about the appropriateness of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) moving forward with its mandatory product standards for recreational off-highway vehicles (side-by-sides).

Just as with the infamous CPSC "lead-ban" on youth motorcycles, the industry and users must depend on the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate for help regarding these unwarranted regulatory proposals.

BRC is asking its members from across the country to take time to contact their own senators using BRC’s Rapid Response Center. It is critically important for you to weigh in on this important issue so that your voice is heard. BRC is partnering with ARRA on this project and urges you to also review their alert and send in your request today. Also, feel free to call or make a personal visit to your U.S. Senator’s local office and ask them to cosponsor the bill.

Thanks in advance and, as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.

GPS

Looking for a GPS. I want something with a large easy to read. I have a Garmin ETrex 30. It’s too small. Any recommendations?
Thanks, Bob

Looking for help on my top end build

2008 Rzr 800, 1300 miles
Using about a qt per ride
Compression about 170 on both sides
Carb loaded with crap

Trying to figure out my first top end.

1. I’m unclear whether my cylinder is bad or not.
2. It has been suggested that my oil loss is my valves not piston rings? Gap in the picture is at least double spec I believe. Valves seem to be fine with no visible signs of pitting or wear. They feel smooth. Can’t tell if valve seats are bad or not?
3. I figured I prob should just replace pistons and rings since it’s apart. There is some wear on the pistons but I don’t know if that means they are bad or not. Nothing to obvious to me on sight or feel that makes me think they are bad

Hopefully the pics are good enough to see what’s going on.

Thanks for the input! I really appreciate it.

Tips for carbon cleaning?

Trying to find a better way of cleaning carbon deposits from valves and head. Currently I’m using a drill and scotch brite pad for the valves with carb cleaner. This works ok. Main prob is scotch brite scrubbing on the head is taking forever.

Any ideas on soaking the head with something that will not eat away at the aluminum, etc? Surely there is an easier way….?
