I’ve got a 2006 500HO Sportsman X2 model. Very low hours machine because of my work. I made the mistake of lending it to my brother last week who called to let me know he broke one of the rear springs the other day.
I’m guessing I will have to replace both rear springs. Anyone know if the shocks will need replacing as well? I honestly haven’t had a chance to touch the ATV in a year, as I was out of town on a contract and it was in long term storage until I gave my brother the nod to borrow it. My memory is fuzzy concerning the rear suspension. Are the springs/shocks sold as one unit? I’ve found lots of info/parts for your standard Sportsman, but not the X2. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Thx! 🙂

A RZR driver, for unknown reasons, parked his RZR 800, 9pm at night, in middle of a dark stretch road with no lights on*. The driver of the other vehicle, an 18 yr old female, (according to investigators & evidence at the scene), was unable to stop her vehicle before hitting the parked RZR. The driver of the RZR was ejected onto the roadway & died from his injuries, (not wearing seat belt). Alcohol & drugs were not a factor for the female driver, she was neither texting nor using her phone at the time of the accident. The female driver was not cited.
We can only speculate why the driver of this RZR parked in the middle of the roadway with his lights turned off. There were two tragedies in that this 18 yr old will have to live with this.
