after market headlight switch

has anyone used the carling rocker switch inplace of the factory headlight switch? if so, what switch and how did you wire it? i have a dash full of aftermarket rocker switches and the stock switch is looking out of place. TIA!!

working on my 14 rzr 1000 front diff noise

SO i pulled my front diff apart today the do the shim relocation. and low and behold no shim! but my rzr has a very obvious loud rattle. what the heck, the sound is very harmonic 2wd 25/35 mph its is the worst. digging a bit deeper as i hold the bearing in my hand and spin the pinion gear the bearing itself seems to have a rattle it seems to not be smooth almost like it hangs up from time to time. any info i would hate to put this thing back together without at least trying to repair it..also should i see if i can buy a shim and put it in?

HLE Outlaw’s

Have any of you with HLE’s had issues with the outlaw’s tearing things up in the summer when the ground is dry. I’ve been getting told that I need to buy another set of wheels and tires to use because the stock ones will "beat things" in the summer months. I’m really not wanting to spend anymore money, I just thought I’d get everyone’s input on it.

Thanks.

Has anyone had this problem?

2014 rzr 1000

Every once in awhile it will only rev to 7500, it seems like one cylinder is down on power or maybe both. Shut engine down re start and it runs normal.

Checked fuel tank there’s no plugged vent line, no codes on gauge .

Anyone have any idea? Dealer said not much they can do with out codes and if it’s not doing it when I drop it off.
Lately it’s been doing it roughly 3 times a ride.

Sand Slinger 29x14x14 Paddles on M23 Battle Wheels Glamis Test / Review

Finally made a decision and ended up going with the value purchase ($1050 shipped and mounted) for a full set of EFX 29" Sand Slinger Paddle Set.

Sand Slinger 29x14x14 paddles on M23 Battle wheels on all four corners. I weighed the stock front tires/wheels at 38.7 and the Sand Slinger fronts/M23 at 37.6 lbs. The stock rear/wheel was 44.9 lbs and the Sand Slinger/M23 rear was 46.8 lbs. Pretty darn close to stock.

The Sand Slingers are just a tad taller..which should be a good thing to avoid the belly slapping and the extra float.

Sand Slinger 29x14x14 M23 and stock

Tested them at Glamis. The 29" EFX SandSlingers worked out excellent on my stock 2015 XP1000. Ran on 2WD for 98% of the time, and only used 4WD when I had a full sized passenger and a long steep climb, getting out from digging in some soft sand, and once while figuring my way out of some tight and short steep virgin soft sand dunes. Otherwise, 2WD it was!

Ended up with 6 lbs in the rear and 10 lbs in the front. Spinning the rear with this set-up took some effort and a lot of throttle. While messing around camp, I increased the fronts to 15 lbs and it did seem to help the steering. Will experiment with more rear pressure to find a balance between traction, spin-ability, and slide-ability.

My first attempt at Olds with a 220 LBS passenger ended up with my belt blowing up around 2/3 of the way up. Did not expect this one bit as I had kept my eye on the belt temp gauge and it never went over 210 degrees and averaged about 175 on all the rides before. The properly broken in belt did have two long non-stop hard runs before it blew up. Ended up riding with the belt cover off for the last two days. Huge difference in belt temperatures, never went above 150 degrees with the cover off and averaged around 135 degrees. Will be adding a boat bilge blower to the ducting of the belt cover as I am a bit worried that that sand may cause some damage to the clutch mechanism.

I had zero issues keeping up with all the fast group quad riders and the buggies, in fact, rode mostly just behind the leading quads and dirt-bikes. The paddles made a huge difference when compared to the air downed stock knobbies…no comparison. Way more traction and control with the paddles. No issues spinning the motor over 8K RPM with 6 lbs in the rear.

With a running start I made it up China Wall in 2WD and even caught some air off the top. I was riding solo. I ended up going up twice with a running start, did not do a standing start climb.

Quick YouTube video:

For the $1050 to my doorstep and mounted on new sweet set of wheels…I am 100% satisfied with the performance of my 29" M23 SandSlinger paddle set.

Rok Straps?

I recently bought the UTV giant rear bed mount (I was tired of rigging things to stay put). Now I’m needing new straps to hold things down (Action packer and soft cooler). I was wondering if Rok Straps are strong enough for the Duning RzR. I would prefer velcro straps but have not found anything strong and affordable and strong.

Bad noise coming for the the clutch(i think)

I have seen a few posts on here about clutch noise but wanted to share mine because it seams to be a little different. My noise is constant and seam to get worst when i give it gas as all the others members just have it at idle. Please watch the video and let me what you think. It sounds like something is loose to me. I took the top cover off to inspect the spider nut and clean it really good. The belt is bad new( I blew a belt over New years in Glamis). I also included some pics to show the part to see if maybe they are wearing out or not right. Its a stock 2014 2 seat XP1000.
