Love your channel JP,im here in Canada, an always watch your videos,cant wait to see the honda build,but its awesome to see a huge brand like polaris to help out a KZfaq channel, an show that they appreciate your commitment! Keep them coming JP

JP , I just got to say i think you are one of the best riders I have seen out there. You definitely got some skill buddy and I love your Polaris videos. I also get why you wanted to get back to your roots with the new Honda and i cant deny that they are some tough machines . I was a little bummed when you let the 850 go but that is coo0l you still got the high lifter and i love that machine too. Really looking forward to seeing what you do with Ruby . Gonna be a killer bike I'm sure.

I can't wait to watch the ruby build

Hey JP - Are you running any clutch kit, or aftermarket axles on the sportsman with them 30s on?

The rear is called a sway bar. Helps with body roll and control the vehicle under load and different conditions.

My seal is hanging off just like that on my 2024 sportsman 850 and I just bought it. I’m thinking about gluing it down cause it’s getting a little annoying. And do you know why the base models say 850 HO but the higher models don’t? I can’t find anything on the web about it.

Hi, i would like to ask if you know the guy on 15:39 or if you know what lift kit is he running. BC i woud like to lift my high lifter too, but i don´t know witch brand to pick, if it will fit and what is needed to be done exc. Thanks for the response. Love your work, keep filming. (sorry if it wasn´t write so well, english isn´t my native language)

We’re did you get your snorkel kit

Do u recommend a polaris 450 or a honda rancher? Or anything else that's not huge

Its a sway bar i dont even mud ride but i take mine off it makes it climb and ride insanely good. Also tows better as long as u turn the shocks up a few clicks after removing them

The things on back of tan sportsman are sway bars links like a truck or car help sway going around corner but with it been a mud bike u want to take them out to fix rear axle around more in mud and not get hung up as much cuz it don't let tires flex

My sportsman has arched a arms and that sway bay if you take it out it will ride better but than you can’t drift

Wish my 2021 premium had the arched a arms I paid 9,300 out the door main reason I didn’t get highlifter older body style plus I never burry mine in mud here in east tn mainly rock crawl and trail ride power steering is worth the extra $700 definitely on rocks my 2014 570 didn’t have power steering and wow night day difference after owning I’d never have one without again I got mine up to 65mph and got out of it rain out straight way

I built a 570 into a mud machine. Relocated radiator, snorkeled, clutch kit,2 inch lift, and 28 inch mayhems. Fun to ride. The sportsmans are not made to be modified. With creativity you can do it. Build one.

That snorkel system set up is very ineffective compared to the Highlifter which goes up the center, AND if in deep water and the ATV tips sideways at all, you're in trouble in a hurry. Trust me I know as I'm sure you do as well. The Polaris inner clutch covers all leak, but like you said, just keep on the throttle. That Highlifter inner cover will leak soon enough. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts after 2 years of heavy use on these units.

9:21 - JP those are your sway bars most mud riders take them off hence why the Highlifter doesn’t have them there mainly for fast riding to keep from having body roll and help make turns better

So the bars on your rear control arms on the base model are your sway bar links. That is what gives It a smoother ride on trails and handles better. And with the arched a arm is just for clearance. No difference in ride. The reason the high lifters are stiffer cuz they only have 4 in of travel in their suspension

Honda bulid coming in hot now though 🤙

🔥🔥🔥

I don’t understand how you have such low miles and hours on your bike, I’ve owned my 24 outty 850xt for just over 2 months and I already have 2,200+km on mine 112 engine hours I’m mind blown on how little you use them bike

one reccomendation for dirty radiators that the water hose aint getting it good enough alone get some coil cleaner spray it on there and let it eat for a few minutes than hose it down it will eat that shit clean!!

The highlifter is great for mud but a terrible ride in the trails it has no travel on the shocks and you feel it

I ran a 850 highlifter for 2 years and I liked it a lot, but the bushings and wheel bearings seemed China made and I switched to Can am (also like the vtwin)Talk with Ryan from RVS and get him to tune the highlifter and add lighter weights and it’ll be a totally different bike

that tan one went threw more mud then that boat anchor highlifter but i get why ya kept the highlifter cause it was free

I want a Sportsman SO BADLY but I just can’t afford one!

Mudpuppy put standard shocks on a high lifter and said it made a world of difference

The XMR kryptids, they measure 2 inches smaller than labelled. But if you buy them from a store, they measure fairly true. Why Can-Am had them lie on the size is beyond me.

Sheesh. Them some low hrs. I put that on a atv in a month

🍿

I've put 150 miles on my scrambler in one day 3 day of that is more than your bikes put together. You need to ride more 😊😊

My question is, if polaris sent you a machine, and sponsored you. Why did you trade a polaris in for a freaking honda?

Build sportsman as I think you would be happier as it's got power steering & will go faster!!!

First

They both junk I built my 850 with portals and put my snorkels in the center the clutch sucks they over heat over all junk

Answer: buy an XMR

dam u never drive them lol

Build a older machine

That highlifter is ugly… Polaris needs to give it a facelift already.

Neither 👍 build a Honda or can am 😎

Buy another canam 🤦🏾‍♂️
