Riding a SxS vs an ATV

Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have read all the previous posts and I have a couple of questions.
I have been riding a Yamaha ATV for the last 8 years (6000 miles) and 2 years on a dirt bike before that. I am 55 and my riding buddy and me were talking about upgrading to a SxS.

Question #1: Is it easier to drive a SxS vs an ATV? You can’t use your legs as shock absorbers, you can’t lean into a turn or a hill and it would seem every bump is going to push you into the seat belt. I read about one user thinking of going back to ATV’s.
But I have to think that a gas pedal and a steering wheel is easier on all day rides that handlebars and a thumb throttle. I am interested in the opinions of those who have done both. Thanks!

Engine Grinding Noise When Decelerating?

Took my ’15 900 Trail out and when I would get above say 6000-6500 RPMs in High gear and would simply take my foot of the accelerator the engine/clutch would make a grinding sound momentarily then go away…this would be more pronounced if I would do descending a hill.

This unit has less than 200 miles on it. Other than this, it seems to operate fine.

Anyone else experience this? Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Cab options

Trying to decide on a cab configuration. From what i have gathered, seems the best option is to go with a half front windshield, roof and full back to keep ‘cab swirl’ to a minimum. I am already running polaris lower doors. Curious to know what others have as a setup and what the results are! Thanks!!!

Proarmor door adjustment?

Just got my doors in. Only had time to get one side done tonight. But had a question about adjusting the latch on the door. It seems like you have to really slam the door to get it to latch.

Also where did you attach the limit strap? Where it looks like it attaches in the instructions doesn’t let the door open much.

2015 RZR 50″ 900 Axle – ISO

Hey I have a 2015 Rzr 900 trail 50" (Not the EPS model) and I have a broken rear drivers side axle. I have had a couple 800s in the past and I could always find aftermarket axles for about $80. These 900 axles don’t look or seem to be any stronger or nicer, but are about $220 for OEM or I saw Rhino brand axles for $200. Any ideas on anything more affordable for this? Any help is appreciated or I wouldn’t even mind somebody else take offs.

I am also looking to get a roof, full windshield, lower doors, center kid seat and a replacement oem bed if somebody has a great deal on any!

Thanks for any help!
