Right on, I love picturing you hammering the pedals watching the little RZR scramble along the trails. You should check out the video where I try to do 50mph along some sand whoops at the Oregon Dunes... just to see if you can keep up on the exercise bike! What's keeping you off the trails, too snowy where you are?

5:37 ​@@cingham747 I'm on the bike trying to get back in shape after back surgery. I just bought a new RZR and will get back out there. It may snow here this week though . Your video helped me get through my exercise . I might see you on the trail tomorrow with my bike that goes nowhere fast ! THANKS ! 👍 I live in Oregon but never been to the dunes.

@@skyroot8529 awesome to hear you working to get back after surgery, hang in there and don't give up. Let's meet up on the trails!

@@cingham747 Thanks !

Thanks, having someone along to share the adventure with is a big part of why side x sides are so much fun.

needed something more reliable than my old sportsman 500 that's always broken so this worked perfectly

I've been really impressed with the reliability of my RZR so far. It had a gremlin with the transmission speed sensor where it wouldn't display speed intermittently for the first couple of rides but since then it's been bulletproof. A group of us just got back from a 2 day, 370 mile (600km) ride to explore a new loop trail.

It's as it rolled out of the showroom which is a fair amount of preload on the springs and middle of the dial adjusters. I've ridden it set like this all year but want to explore softer preload to access more of its travel. With a year experience on the machine I'm happy with how it rides and like that it's 50" wide but if you want better suspension go with the Trail S (60") or for real ride quality go to a machine with the rear trailing link suspension design which offers superior travel and comfort.

Having a passenger is one of the fun parts of riding a side x side. Maybe once all the COVID restrictions are off and we can all travel we can arrange a ride.

I'm impressed with the engine braking so far, I had been riding a Yamaha Grizzly 550 for 10 years which had great engine braking and this is really similar. No problems yet with it but sadly it's only been out on 3 rides so far... too busy with all sorts of stuff.

There is a large difference between high and low range in speed and belt wear. I used to have a Yamaha Grizzly so seldom used Low range due to the clutch/belt design being able to put up with much more abuse. The Polaris design requires you to use low range at low speeds or you'll burn your belt out and I've seen it firsthand where a Polaris quad was parked at the bottom of a short steep slope, the rider attempted to climb the hill in high range and all he got was a bunch of smoke as his belt slipped. On my machine high range will do about 105kmh (65mph) and low does 60kmh (37mph).

It's definitely fun and as someone who likes driving it can be the ultimate challenge of your skills.

@@cingham747 Yeah, it’s just that I’m too young, A 10 year old driving a rzr. I would maybe get in trouble

There are smaller machines for young riders, we had two sisters who rode a RZR 170 with our club for a number of years. They kept up really well on rides and learned how to drive in a safe supervised way. rzr.polaris.com/en-us/rzr-170/ ranger.polaris.com/en-us/ranger-150-efi/

@@cingham747 oh okay! I will ask my mom, after a lot of research there like 5,000. She might buy it. In plus my birthday is coming up, so we’ll see.

Hope you're able to get one and can't wait to see some videos of you driving!

I don't know yet, still adhering (somewhat) to the break in recommendations because it's only been out on 3 rides so far. I'll post something once I've opened it up.

@@cingham747 ok thanks :)

104kmh (65mph) on a fairly rough forest service road. May have gone a tiny bit faster but it was dancing around pretty good due to the short wheelbase. I don't have a windshield and was surprised at how much I was being buffeted by wind at that speed.

My 21 goes 70 no rev limit yet!

@@stuarthobart6844 yup mine to stock 900

Very true, there were 3 people behind me trying to keep up!

I hear ya, I wanted to go to a different trail system where it would be mostly road riding but was outvoted by my buddies. I was trying to keep out of the throttle as much as possible but on snowy trails you have to get in it or be stuck. There is a wildly divergent range of opinions on how to break in an engine. Some folks say to baby it, some say giver'... I think the most consistent advice is to vary the throttle during the initial break in period.

@@cingham747 I just picked up my trail s 900 and I have been going half throttle the whole time and you never know but I would rather be safe than sorry even though the engine may never even have engine problems

@@cingham747 you should probably get a winch put on your RZR

It has a Kolpin 4500 winch on it now.

@@cingham747 that’s good

A RZR 900 definitely won't do 100 miles an hour, my machine cuts out at 65mph and that is plenty fast enough on such a short wheelbase.

Hey Seth, you ride?

Ya we get a rzr

@@sethpope1552 Right on, only a few rides into my RZR experience and loving it so far. You'll have to share some videos of your riding so I can check it out.

Ok

@@cingham747 👍
