Hello there! I just purchased my first Scrambler, a 2001 Polaris Scrambler 500cc 4×4 concentric drive. It needed a few things including tires. I got some aftermarket rims and tires and i knew that my scrambler had a 1" difference in tire size so i found a set on craigslist and got them! Turns out they came off a scrambler and were 1" in difference in size.
Turns out it was 1" in the wrong direction. Originally there was 22x11x10 on the rear and 23x7x10 on the front. The tires I bought were 26x8x12 on the rear and 25x12x12 in the front. Thats +4" in the rear and +3" in the front. I went with the taller tires for more ground clearance and better traction.
My question is do i need to change the rear sprockets to match the original ratio? or since it has the CVT system and drive shaft front drive compared to dual chain drive will it be ok?
I only intend to run the 4×4 in the slop, not on hard or dry ground so it shouldnt be a issue, i just dont want to break something when the need for 4×4 arises. Also with this tire combo will the clutch need changed? The one on it now is pretty worn out.

Well simply out of curiosity I bought the new Yosh exhaust for my 1000 And I have to tell ya it makes the bike sound like a Harley ( spark arrestor removed lol) Had it at work today and moved it around outside and got on it a lil bit and the girl in the office came out and asked if there was a bike outside. It’s got a great tone and it’s not tinny sounding at all so far I am happy with this pipe I will do a video soon so you guys can hear it. Here are some pix of it installed!!
I just installed a lift on my 2014 50 inch 800 and i don’t like the swaybar angle. Does anyone make a link extention? What has everyone else done, I could cut and weld in a piece of rod to extend them but I’m not sure the lift kit will stay on it. I did it to be able to run bigger tires and try to keep from bottoming out on every rock on the trail.

Riders,
I’m looking for a decent full cover that will fit the 2015 Ace. I’m leaving for Colorado in a few weeks and don’t like to leave it uncovered over night so the cover needs to be water proof, but will only be used when the Ace is sitting, not while hauling it on the trailer.
Thanks,
Phil
