new and driven to be the best, with your help

Good afternoon everyone!
I’m the service and parts manager of a soon to be Polaris dealer. our company owns a few very successful car dealerships with a huge focus on customer satisfaction. I am being brought onboard this new endeavor to bring that same quality to our power sports division. that being said I’m looking to reach out to you, our potential customers and get some feed back. what parts do you mostly find you need? What frustrates you about your dealer? We want to make sure we are stocked up, ready to roll and keep you enjoying your equipment when the doors open. With your input and an open line of communication with the public I think we could make this thing great. so please let me hear your stories and ideas.
thanks! 🙂

Traded!

So my 87 TRX350 was acting up again and i got tired of it and im about to hit the magical age of 16, so i am in need off a truck. i got a truck. 1969 chevy K10! needs a lil work but it is worth it, its got a built 350, and a 400 turbo trans. its a cst edition truck. needs a grill, starter, altenator, and a fan belt, and a passenger side door (my fault) and a tire on that side. but it ran until the starter took a dump on me, also needs a set of plates to get her legal.

650 xt comparison to the max

Thinking of buying a 2012 can am 650 I am looking AT A xt or a max xt
So the question is, is the longer wheel base a better chose even though you would not use the two up seat for a second rider. Mostly going to be used for towing a bush wagon to collet fire wood and general work around property
thanks any thoughts would be welcome

Stock Wheels – 2015 Sportsman 850

Does anyone know where I can find replacement stock wheels for my 2015 Sportsman 850? I realize that the dealer can probably order these for me but I’ve read that these can be expensive.

I’m mainly looking for a replacement front and rear wheel (rim and tire) to take with me on long trips where I am riding alone. I carry a plug kit and slime kit with min-compressor but I’ve been out on rides where people have blown out the sidewall on a rock and the tire cannot be repaired.

I mostly ride alone and at time I can be 50 -100 miles to the nearest road, town, etc so a cheap spare would be nice. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Comfortable Heated Grips?

Okay I know there are a LOT of heated grip threads. However they all mention heat function and not comfort of the grips themselves.

– I have had the wire stick grips, that let you put on your favorite grips over top. I didn’t think they heated well and they can break easily.

– I have had the cheap ones for $30 and they just suck.

– I have spent the $100 on heat demons. They heat GREAT and I love that they’re clamp on grips. However the grips themselves feel like rocks. Very uncomfortable if you aren’t wearing gloves.

Can someone recommend COMFORTABLE AND FUNCTIONAL heated grips? With Fall right around the corner I need to pick some up!

Question about 2016 honda rubicon deluxe suspension

I recently bought a 2016 Honda deluxe rubicon with the IRS, it’s getting close to hunting season so I’ll need to stiffen up the suspension since I’ll be carrying heavy loads at times…. My question is, if I adjust the rear, will I need to adjust the front also ??? And if leave them stiff, will it cause it to wear out quicker ?? Thank you for your help.
