My 2015 XPK HL, burned up VR. at 24 hr. and 204 miles, and 2 weeks outa warranty. I ordered new VR. part # from Polaris, and also decided to get VR. up a little higher, but also with wires coming out bottom not in thru hi side where moisture can find a way in. Also wanted to keep it where air flow from the tire would still be there, to cool it. Ok, this is what I got, Cheap, and Easy, may not be perfect, but I like it mounted on aluminum more then the plastic floor, Got a UTV inc. sway bar mount support kit (or Racer tech would do, and you guys are welcome for free advertising), and welded angle iron on it to attach an aluminum plate too, to mount VR on. I did drill a hole thru mount though to get a socket and ext. on upper sway bar bushing mount bolt, it is next to impossible to get a wrench or socket on that bolt, and have no idea how UTV inc expects you to tighten this bolt? I also think the aluminum will help act as a heat sync, and help cool it. Hope this helps anyone looking for an option on relocation of the VR.[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG] VR mounting locations.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

My dad and I both the ’14 XP1K and he’s always complained about his actually being too stiff right from the dealer. We checked and double check settings and ride height and everything we could think of. I did the tender swap on my machine and of course it stiffens it a little but nothing like the rear on his. Finally after almost a year, I noticed the difference.
My machine as well as just about every other machine I’ve seen has 5 coils on the tender. Of course without the tender swap, the coils are bound up. Now I have a nice space between the coils. He always had a little space in his from the dealer but now they’re bound. I noticed his tender has 7 coils rather than the 5. I’m sure this explains the stiffness but I’m baffled where these springs came from. Mind you this is a stock machine! Anyone else have this? Where did these "stock" springs come from?

I thought I read somewhere here that the DE has a different clutch setup but I can’t find it now. Can anyone confirm this? And are there any other know mechanical differences between the base XP1000 and the DE?
Thanks.
So I built a new roll cage for my 14 xpk1 and added a 32 in. light bar on top and put my polaris half windshield back on and now the wind is directly in my face instead of at the top of my head. Any one with light bars or aftermarket cages have this problem and maybe a fix? Taller lip on my windshield?
