Grease / Lubricants

Hey guys this being my first Side by Side I am trying to stick with the Pure Polaris products for maintenance. So I understand the oil and oil filter, I guess I understand the different lubricants for the Gear Cases (Though to be honest I do not understand why the one they make for the main will not work in both). BUT TWO DIFFERENT GREASES. If the one for the U-Joint is a must why can’t I just use that one for everything? Can someone help me with this am I missing something?

XC vs Trail

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forums and before joining I did a little digging here but can’t seem to find an answer.

I’m in the market for a new RZR, however I am having a bit of a tough time deciding between two models, that being the 2015 900XC and 900 trail EPS

On the polaris site it states that the xc had 12.5 inches of ground clearance vs the trail at 11. If the suspension outside of the fox shocks is the same, where does the extra height come from?

Also, i need some opinions from owners of the two machines as to which way i should go.

Where I ride is alot of narrow trails but not really mandated 50", there is also likely going to be some mud riding. I want to be able to BE 50" if i need to, but also not a big deal if I’m over most of the time. SO, should i get the xc and run more positive offset for 50", or get a trail and run stock for 50" and do more negative offset for more stability? Are the extras on the XC worth the money? Any forseeable difference for future mods for mud riding between the two?

Any opinions are welcome.

Thanks guys!

Your stock tool kit?

Did you get the combination spanner (for shocks) and clutch depressor tool or just the spanner wrench in your tool kit?

My brother got the combo tool in his 900 Trail but I got the spanner only. How the heck am I supposed to change a belt?

I asked my Dealer and they said some come with combo and some don’t. They want $20 for that little piece of junk, stamped metal combo tool!!!

Not happy!! :rollfinger:

speed sensor problem

Not even 20 hours and the speed sensor code comes up. Ive die electric greased it and cleaned it. Sometimes it will reset doing the low gear 4k drive and other times wont. It seems to only do it when in water. Sometimes the code will go off and the speedo wont work either. Any ideas ??

1st Service-Bad Polaris tech?

I brought my 900 back from the shop and left it sit overnight in the garage. Upon checking the oil level this morning I noticed that the oil level is about 1/4 inch above the safe zone on the dip stick. To me this indicate over filling but was told that this is okay. What’s your opinions on this Polaris dealers service center? Is it okay to operate at this oil level?

leaking tire

ok guys… i got two sidewall punctures in my front tire a few weeks back.

got it patched, but one of the pugs let loose tonight, so it looks like i am going to have to get a replacement tire.

who sells the factory tires at the cheapest cost?

Need cab info and heaters too

Need some help = hoping you can ofer advice!

I’m buying a 900 trail eps this week, and want to get an enclosed cab. Been looking online, seems the factory polaris setup is about 2k msrp when you add the all the sections and doors. Ouch. If you have the polaris setup, did you get any dealer discounts and what did you have to pay?

Then again, it seems like there are some aftermarket canvas cabs that are much cheaper.

Please post up photos and info of your cabs, what you like and don’t like and pricing I can expect.

I appreciate the help, looking forward to riding in the rain in an enclosed dry cab!

Also want to get a heater – appreciate any info on which ones work great and cost less…
