over heating

Just curious as to what normal running temp is supposed to be on 2012 800 RZR.Temp light came on other day but I had been muddin and radiator was dirty. I rinsed it and then been running Speedo on temp setting and seems to stay 208-210…Is this normal under slow speeds putting around the woods or should I be concerned and be looking somewhere else to repair something

2008 RZR Frame a-arm tab wear?

I own a 08 RZR that I need to repair some frame wear. What does everyone recommend to repair the a-arm tab frame wear from the rubber bushings? Do you weld them up and grind them flat or use thin shim washers? I have found the step washers for the oblong holes but that will not repair the bushing wear on the tabs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Wheel offset setup for 2010

I am new to the forum and new to the RZR world. I bought a used 2010 800 and I need to replace the tires. The RZR is stock mechanically so what I wanted to do is start off with larger tires as an upgrade. Currently there are 25 x 10 x 12’s on the back and would like to go to a 26 tire. I have seen that there can be issues with the motor mount and visually I checked and it appears that mine would hit. So the question is what wheel offset should I have to avoid the issue.

Prospector Track installation

Hello, I’m new to the forum. I have spent a couple hours searching other posts on this topic with no luck. I called a few dealers as well with no solid info. I have a couple 800 RZRs and just got a set of Prospector tracks. I’m looking for Polaris instructions for installing the tracks and for setting track tension. thanks for your time!

Water in filter housing/ oil

Well my filter housing came loose yesterday and ended up getting some water in it, about 1/3 – 1/2 full. The machine did not die just seemd to be starved for air so I shut down and checked it out and when I opened the cap of it all the water poured out. Was going to just change the filter but when I got back to the machine with the new filter I thought I would check on the oil just to make sure there wasn’t any water in it, but sure enough the oil was milky looking so it took a good 6 hours to get it to a spot I could get it into my truck.
So I don’t know a whole lot about this stuff just yet but will be figuring it out tomorrow, I know I’ll have to drain my oil numerous times (was suggested to fill it with a mix of 50/50 of oil and jet fuel since we have lots around to clean it out a few times) and I’ll probably take all my intake ducting apart and clean it all up, I suppose I should also take the spark plugs out and turn it over to clear the water (never done this before).
Is there anything else you would suggest doing to make sure that everything is as it should be by the time I’m done with these repairs?

I should say that I don’t think much water made it past the filter but I’m sure some did as it’s made it’s way into the oil.

Any help with this is much appreciated as I don’t exactly know what I’m doing just yet.

08 800 rear hitch and winch plate

Looked a little but couldn’t find an exact answer. Looking for a rear 2" hitch for my rzr800. Bike has a rear bumper or brush guard what ever you wanna call it that goes around the tail lights. Called uti and they said that the hitch would not work with the bumper. Does the emp hitch work with a bumper or any others that may work? Also for the front winch mount was Guna get a bumper winch mount bumper but read that it puts a lot of stress on frame so just Guna stick with it in the frame. And winch mounts that work for the harbor freight 5000lb winch?
