Well as some of you know i purchased the Bandit Shocks.. I installed and rode the for a little while .. On a ride i lost most of my suspension so i called Ted and he returned my call even though i didn’t leave a message… He had me send them to his warranty guy (who is close to him) and see what was up…He covered the shipping with in just a few days after we sent them out..and even threw me a gift as well….. So that being said Ted is a very stand up guy who stands behind his product and i would buy again with no hesitation ……
Now the problem…….. One of the banjo bolts on the rear leaked out the oil which i figure is my fault since i cracked it just a hair and maybe didn’t get it back tight enough to seal it… and on the fronts they were low on gas for some reason but we aren’t sure exactly why they were…… But all is good now and they are on the machine along with a 2in lift awaiting to be used on the next outing(this weekend)…….
I am very happy with Ted and Steve for their outstanding customer service and the sincerity that they expressed and wanting to get me back on the trail………
I’ve got a 2015 sportsman sp. For some reason they keep losing pressure. The fronts were showing 0 on the gauge from the tool kit and the backs were fine. I put air in them and kept riding. Then the front 2 and rear right were low all showing 0. I filled all 3 of them up again and started riding. This time the rear left started losing pressure again showing 0 psi but I haven’t put air back in it. Its in the back of my truck.
These are the stock wheels and tires. Any ideas? Take it back to polaris and have them check it out? Thanks in advance.
I bought a new to me bike last week – a 2006 Sportsman 800 X2. It has 26-inch tires on the front and back. Went for a nice trip in Southern Alberta last weekend and everything worked fine (light snow, mud / rocks). When we got home, I washed it down. Took a ton of mud and rock off the bike. Weird thing is – when I started my bike to put it away, it went into any gear, but didn’t move very fast at all (like the clutch was slipping). I shut it off and let it sit for a minute and started it again. It did the same thing until I revved it up to 5k, then it sped up. Now it seems to work normally again. Thoughts?
So I went and bought polaris lower doors for my machine and took it out for the first ride and smashed one of the lower doors on a small log that was sticking out. I guess I was just use to my pro armour full door on my older 2013 900. I don’t want to go to a full door because of price if I don’t have to but is there a good rugged lower door out there that will take a little abuse?
Installed new bearings per the manual and both hubs were tight when pushed into the housing. I’m thinking if this isn’t normal the Sprague/rollers/inside of ring gear are worn or this differential is missing a part somewhere between the dif housing and ring gear but everything is there according to the manual…
