Scrambler 1000 questions

I have 2 new scramblers. One is a 2016 ( wife’s)and the other is a 2015( mine). Both bought new in the last month. I have read about dif covers breaking and frame supports needed. I will be riding the 15 and will push it much harder then my wife on the 16. What upgrades will be needed first? And should I upgrade both? Mostly fast trails and very little mud or water. Won’t even run 4 wheel drive very much. I will be putting a wench and plow on the 15. I just want to address the weak points before any failures. Thanks

Hunterworks axles

has anyone else had experience with them? im going to share mine.

2 years ago… cv clicking… ordered a hunterworks axle… tossed it on… good to go.

in the past 2 years. between being busy with life, and getting a second quad, the grizz gets limited use.

so at the end of last season… cv clicking. from the same axle. first ride this year… snap. inner joint grenaded…so while my 3 remaining oem axles are at about 3000 miles each, the hunterworks made it all of 2-300 miles.

so i emailed hunterworks…

"at that time we did not offer a warranty on axles. there is nothing we can do"

my only response was that i knew there wasnt anything you were legally obligated to do. i just thought you might stand behind your products a bit more than that.

ive got their sheave… its a quality piece of hardware i suppose. but their axles… nope. ill go elsewhere, thanks.

now for the replacment i havent decided. im torn between getting a $200 rhino axle, and finding a ~$60 used oem axle.

2017 “Utility” model racks – GOOD NEWS!

so I put in for a quote for a 2016 570 touring out the door from two local dealers, and within 10 minutes I got a call from the "Polaris Concierge" who asked me what specific features I was interested it. And she confirmed that the 2017 racks "should" fit on the prior year models as there is no difference in the size/specs of the racks from 2016-2017. SO if you have an older model, and want the newer front rack extender, or full metal rear rack, you’re in luck

For those who purchased QSC, STM, Gates Primaries

Just looking for some honest feedback from XMR owners who are actually running them. I already own a CVTech so I know all about this clutch, but I’m looking at upgrading and I have a couple questions,

1. Can you tell me which one your running QSC, STM, Gates?
2. Where you purchased it
3. Did it come set-up properly the first time, or did you have to do adjustments and how did you find the adjustments were to make?

For the record I really do like my CVTech, but it does have limitations on a 30"+ tire mud bike.
