Anyone else think there just isn’t enough information/reviews out on the S1000? I understand it was released at the same time as the turbo and that over shadowed it but I would have guess by now this forum would have been blowing up!

Is everyone just going with the Xp1000 due to the prices actually being lower than the S?

Is there really anything that the S can do that the Xp can’t do better?

Figured there would be a lot more excitement about this model.

Hello everyone, I just bought a new 1000 S. Glad to join the small group here. Had a Rhino since 2005 and finally took the leap. I mainly do trails in Moab.

I have a couple questions you all more familiar with Polaris may have ideas on.

1. The clutch seems a little jerky in reverse especially at lower rpm. Is this normal? It is very different than the Rhino every where in that the rpms come up quite a way before engaging. However reverse seems even more strange with the jerkiness.

2. I burnt a belt already. Got a little smoke and can see the sides of the belt grooved and glazed in a spot. Working on repalcing and the manual talks about ebs vs non-ebs. For ebs it says to use the clutch spreader tool to open the clutch. For non-ebs it says to loosen the nut to spread the clutch I am unsure which method to use. It sure feels like I have engine braking, but the web site says I dont. I am wondering if anyone knows for sure the best way to open the clutch on this to remove/replace the belt.

Thanks,
Keith

Just ruined a rim and need to replace it and one for a spare. If you know of any, send them my way.

Can anybody comment on the top speed of the 1000s and the RPM’s at top speed? How does it compare to the 900s top speed and RPM’s? Also, which machine do you think would get better mileage cruising at 50 mph on gravel roads?

I’m in the market to swap my side by side for a new one and I’m curious what’s the best dealer price without taxes just for the side by side.

Just trying to figure out more info about the engine? is it the same? or a version of something else?

i am looking for a new set up, how big of tires can i go with out rubbing? should i stay away from a really aggressive tire so i dont tare stuff up in the drive train? definitely going to go with a 14in wheel. Pictures and opinions of set ups on your 1000s are appreciated. thanks

Looking for a composite skid plate with rocker panels. Any ideas?

I have seen the 2014-15xp 1000 had some engine issues earlier with burning oil. Has this been resolved or are people still having issues with it on the 16 model?

So in my tough decision on a 1000S or a 1000xp. Has anyone compared the handling on steep inclines. I know obviously the xp would be better due to the length. But how dramatic would it be in the difference. Anyone done some serious climbing with the 1000S?
