Stupid question i’m sure

I have 14 RZR 1000

I have 3-5 inch superatv lift

I have my lift set at 5"

Polaris RZR XP 1000 Lift Kit – 3-5 Inch : Polaris : RZR 1000 : Lift Kits

I finally broke my stock front axle after 300miles of ridding. (I’m impressed)

Now I’m going to order Rhino Axles.

Most websites say (stock length)

My question is…..is stock length axle on a 5"lift and 32" tires correct for this application? I’m thinking no.

Any help would be great because I’m getting mixed reviews on what I should do.

Found the problem

Was out yesterday. Car would show it was in High.. No matter what gear it was in.

Found this.

Buddy had same problem. He said his would not come out of Low. Took to dealer. They said never seen this happen before…. HMM ..mine has a wopping 290 miles.

I think I seen a post on a guy that said parking brake will not hold….Wonder if its really in another gear then he thinks. Just like my buddy. It just said he was in low he prob thought it was stuck in low.

Not a big deal its just the indicator. But you can see the possible damage if it hit the axle

Any fix other then a couple extra cir clips in the glove box?

What Engine Oil?

What’s everybody using?

I read something on Facebook claiming that the factory Polaris oil isn’t good and can lead to premature failure. The guy that shared it claimed he got the write up from Alba’s website and they recommended using Maxima 10W-40. Anybody know if there is any truth to that? I couldn’t find anything on their site about it.

Getting ready to do my second oil change and want to get to the bottom of this.

Clunking noise at slow speed take off?

Just got back from a decent trip yesterday in the muskeg with a big group and lots of winching. When I was winching someone I heard a nice clunk of bang, almost like the rzr was in park. Afterwards when taking off there now seems to be a rolling clunk, can only notice at low speeds… Almost like when you put it in park and it rolls a few clicks downhill, with a bit more of a clunk to it.

Was wondering where people would look first for problems when I go out to wash it this morning and inspect it. I checked the CV’s on the trail, all seemed fine. The 4WD is working, although the ride out the engine seemed to work a ton harder. Not really sure where to look first, any input would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Having trouble starting engine when cold??

So lately after a couple days of riding my rzr it would idle kind of rough and even cut off sometimes when I would leave it to idle. Then yesterday evening it wouldn’t start for a few mins. Kept hitting and missing. Then finally crunk up and run rough for a few mins until warm. Anyone had this trouble or have any ideas. I’m in North Carolina so it hasn’t even got cold here yet. Which I wouldn’t think that would matter since its EFI.

Thanks!

Park gear not holding

I recently bought a 2014 RXR 4x 1000 with 300 miles on it. Even when I’m on level ground the park gear does not hold all the time. Sometimes it does, sometime it doesn’t. I can put it in park, push back not even hard with one foot on the ground and the RZR rolls backward with a click, click click. Is that some sort of adjustment to fix or do I have major problems. Also sometimes the indicator will show R for reverse but it is still in neutral. I have to giggle the gear shift to move into reverse.
