I can't!!! My job requires it! Since I toed it in a little, the tires are holding up as well as they did on my Polaris. (Never checked alignment on my Polaris in 7500 miles so I dunno if it's toed out or in or straight.)
Oh I've tried selling it. Nobody wants to touch it! I shot myself in the foot when I showed all the locals the problems. Now nobody wants any part of it!
Great! I burt the clutch of of mine out of igornance, your friends will gain a lot of info here to keep them from doing the same thing I did. Have you ever bought a new dirt bike? First thing you will d is break it in and find the supension doesn't fit you. and you send it off to get revalved and new springs. Pretty expensive! The fix for these is pretty inexpensive. And the tires that come on all S x S's stink, if your going to push it on the trails. Some of the members here that run on a lot of payment run 14 inch car/truck tires. BF Goodwrench makes a great truck tire for this
I joined this site pissed, just burt out my clutch at 164 miles. After reading, I learned a lot about my machine, that the sales people were/are clueless about. Now I understand how it works, ride the piss out of it and no more issues!
They really should / need be just about "neutral". They handle like $hit toed out.
Do you think my insurance would cover it if it burned while while sitting next to an older model Polaris? That would be a believable explanation lol!!! (Just proving I'm not a Polaris fanboy!)
Dirt is great for neutral, but payment, just like your car/truck always has toe in to make it track and not wander all over the road, that's why you rotate your tires. outside fronts wear from toe in. I'm running 1/16 toe in on my S x S and it's a little squirley on payment, probably see how 1/8 does.
I remember it actually driving fairly good. Not bad enough for me to check if something was wrong. I had and still have a 2015 Ranger 570 midsize. Needed something with a higher top speed. I replaced front and rear clutches at 7500 miles so I figured it would be a selling point with a brand new drive line. Was gonna sell it as soon as I got my P1K set up the way I like it but I'm leery now. And I'm not trying to push any buttons here but I guess I'm torn between the two machines. I absolutely love my 570 although it works hard to get the high speeds that my job requires. My P1K reaches 60 with no heavy breathing but, Jeezus there's a lot to hate on this piece.
Think speed has any thing to do with it, probably a lot, just get it set up for you and speed and you'll be one happy camper!
Agreed about the 700-4. That was the machine I read up on before I bought my P1K. I fell in love with the idea of a torque converter. I assumed that the 1000 was simply a bigger version of the 700 so I hadn't read up on it before I bought it. "DOH!!!"
Tell your friends to get EPS. I got some friends that got a 700 without EPS, boy howdy do they wish they had EPS, a lot safer at speed!Only on the wide trail Smitty, I'd have to get a rear facing camera to show you stuck between the trees.
