Ryan couldn't decide if he wanted the Sportsman or the Scrambler, so he bought both! After owning these machines for a few months he noticed some big differences between the two. INSTAGRAM: (blade_12x3_) blade_12x3_...

just picked up 850 sporty and can definitely agree on the cadillac ride and seat! came from a brute force 750 and the sportsman 850 is such an upgrade its insane!!

Agreed...seat is super comfortable. Though there is one single downfall. They rip very easy....I have gone through two seats already on mine. Now i am getting a seat custom made...though keeping that memory foam in place. lol
@BladeKnierim3 жыл бұрын
That is true man, we haven’t rode that much since the video so they haven’t ripped yet but I can tell how much torque and pull there is when you move around. Post a pic of your custom seat!!

Hey bud, talking about the screen flickering...I thought I had an issue but always had my hand on the key if you barely move the key it flickers since it from acc to start it actually turns off in between. Turn key on acc like you did then barely turn the key to right like your going to start but dont start and it will turn off but back on ;)

@BladeKnierim3 жыл бұрын
Well we found a bolt laying in the trans pan when we changed the fluids, somebody messed up assembling at the factory/dealer. Polaris said it’s some kinda of retaining clip bolt and that it wasn’t a big deal. They offered warranty if it has issues. Haven’t had any issues yet. Just glad it didn’t throw it around in there. The sportsman’s led cluster readout has a tendency to go bad, along with the key switch as I’ve learned from the amazing people in the comments!! Other than that just keep up on them (fluid changes, grease, wash it, etc.) I always recommend washing anything within 12-24hr after you get it really dirty.
@BladeKnierim3 жыл бұрын
Also depending on where you’re riding, red and heavy mud/dirt can stain and start rust on anything. West Virginia dirt will surface rust the exhaust fast!! Dosent affect anything or rust to the point of replacing it, it just looks horrible! 😂

ItsCatfishBro it rides pretty nice and has a good amount of power, just has less storage and utility aspects of the sportsman. Main thing we don’t like about the scrambler would be the fenders, they just don’t stop enough dirt and debris. 9/10 times you’ll be as dirty as the four wheeler
