Looking to buy

[93 Krawler]

I'm looking to buy a Rzr Xp 900 here in the next month. I was going to get a XP 1000, but with all the goodies I wanted it was like 25k, so I'm going used with some goodies already on it.

I really don't that much about them so maybe you guys can tell me if they are worth it. What is too many miles or hours? Am I better off getting a low mile one and build it my self, or a higher mile one that has been built up already?

Out of these, which are the best deals.

I can't offer any info on which is a better deal, but I have been thinking about getting one also. I'd like to hear opinions on this too.

Be careful where you buy one from. Being from Morehead, KY I can say that most folks there know how to use their stuff and use it often. If you buy one from Cincinnati...etc, it will most likely have been a toy rather than a workhorse.

I would shy away from a unit with modified stock components (chopped cages) and look at ones that have custom cages/bumpers with inspection. Doors, control arms and tires would also be on the desired upgrade list.

Me personally when I buy something used I want it with low miles and low hours.typically means it hasnt been rode hard and put up wet. But I know nothing about sxs.

My low miles on my machines usually mean that they are finished! My old 800 is at the salvage yard now as the new owner finished it off a few weeks ago. The 900's are a great bang for the buck! Good luck with your searches.

#2 or itlfli is my vote!

Those were some HARD low miles. :laughing: I suspect the 1000 is getting the same abuse... :d'oh:

Yes you do,,,,,, the parts form what ever he is saleing off :laughing::laughing:

[JeffK5]

If you buy a XP900 there are a couple must check things.

1 Make sure if its a 11 that it has the updated firewall heat shield.

2 Check the intake track from the inlets on the rear fenders down to and through the throttle bodies...look for the tell tale signs of being mudded. The air filter set-up on the XP's is super picky and it passes lots of dirt if it isn't perfectly assembled. I looked at two used 900's with dusted TB's before I bought the one I have now. The 900 is a great power plant but is notorious for having no tolerance for dirt of any kind.

3 Check the motor and trans mounts very closely.. on 11's especially , they are known for breaking clean off if wheeled even moderately in rocky terrain as the engine block hangs down very low between the frame rails.

4 Pay very close attention to reverse engagement and free play ..the 900 has a less than smooth tranny but the first thing that starts going bad is the puny reverse chain.

That's all I can think off the top of my head .

Edit....Get a power steering model...once you really start wheeling it and adding big tires and more power / performance parts you'll wish you had.

And get a cover for your truck... you wouldn't be driving it much once you get a SxS.

[solar1]

Agreed. Low miles/hrs and but power steering model. I just put PS on my 800 S last week before a trip Tenn. Well worth it.

[CFD5]

Another vote for itllfli's. I ride with him and it's not beat, mostly ridden on a local farm with no real big obstacles. Spends most of his time crawling at 5mph behind my jeep.

If he still has it at the end of June I will check it out.

[JeffK5]

Also pay particular attention when starting 11&12 models...they had a threaded idler shaft that's prone to coming loose and destroying the case . If you catch it early on you can save it but if not you're writing a $1,500 check.

[93 Krawler]

Here's one I thought was set up nice.

Already gone, sorry...

[93 Krawler]

Thanks for all the help.
Jeff, you must have done some serious research before you bought one. I might have to get you to go with me before I buy one. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be ready to buy one.

[JeffK5]

Let me know when and where and if it works for me I'll get with you..

[monkeystrong]

I just bought a xp1000 2 seater. I have permanent grin!

Cool! That should fit nicely on the flatbed you talked about, won't even need a trailer...

[93 Krawler]

I'm ready to buy one now. :thumbsUp:

Must... resist... going 1/2 mile down the road and getting the 1000... :at-wits'end:

[monkeystrong]

We changed our mind on it. Gonna wait a bit.

[93 Krawler]

do it!!!!! or you'll regret it later

I know I will, but my better judgement says no. But then my fck it side says do it!!

We changed our mind on it. Gonna wait a bit.

Did you get buyers remorse and take it back?

[93 Krawler]

Stopped at the dealer today. They have a 1000 not put together yet. Said he'd sell it to me for $18799. 20K with tax. :thinking:

Midwest polaris has theirs for $18599

[93 Krawler]

Prices for the XP 1000

Tragesser in Ross - $18,799
Tri county in Springdale - $ Still gotta call
Midwest in Batavia - $18,599
On Target in Sunman IN - $19,000 at first, then talked down to $18,799.
CC Motorsports in Clarksville IN - $18,999

[94Dodge Truggy]

I like tri-county Polaris. Others have had great luck with sunman.

[JeffK5]

If you buy new you'll definitely want a local dealer you can work with if need be. Polaris is well known for attempting to find any reason to not honor warranties ..wether they're original or extended.

[solar1]

Also, stay away from the Polaris warranty. People seem to have better luck with the 3rd party warranty companies. I opted to not buy the warranty and luckily everything that I've had to work on wouldn't have been covered by warranty anyways. I.e. Wheel bearings, bushings, TRE, water pump seals, etc.

It depends on the add ons that's on it. Link doesn't work...

I decided to buy the 900 from Byron "ITLLFLI" I stopped by and checked it out. A 900 has plenty enough power for me. I'm picking up late next week. :thumbup:

Congrats!

Does anyone know how far you can compress the rear suspension on a RZR? The reason I ask is most enclosed trailers under 8' wide only have a door height of 66", but the specs on the RZR are 73". I have to know if it will compress that far with a ratchet strap.

Chop that stupid high stock cage on the 900....Oh hell , your SxS has a nice roof mounted stereo.

I wouldn't hesitate to bottom that thing out and cinch it down to get through the door..I might even run the tires way down.

Increasing the angle on the ramps will help a bunch assuming your trailer doesn't have a drive on rear door. I watched a guy load a stock XP900 through what he told me was a 67" door with short little ramps at what looked like 45°.

I bought a new 7x12 enclosed Saturday. I was making sure it was wide enough to pull it in, but didn't think about the height at all. I didn't realize the rzr's were that tall. I called Ben Hur trailers today and told about them the problem. He said he would take it back and I could order one that was taller.

I know I could chop it, or ratchet strap it, but then I would have to do that every time. The long run solution is a taller trailer. I have seen what you're saying about the ramps. This one has a ramp door. I might have double doors put on the new one just in case I need some extra room to pull in.

I'll know more when I pick up the sxs this week.

[Patrick45015]

You guys need to bring your sxs's to my sxs fun park :thumbup:

How long would it take me to get there from Ross?

[93 Krawler]

It's $300 more for adding 6" of height on the trailer. I'm going to order one and take this one back. Waiting 5 weeks blows though... :straight-face:

[Patrick45015]

It takes me about 2 and a half hours from Hamilton. If you are close to 27 probably about the same

[humpy]

I just did a cage on an. 800 for a guy... Utilized the j strong roof with radio mounts... Dropped rear 2" (so tall guys can still fit) used 1.75 Dom... It's much stronger than stock setup

Looks good. How thick was the tubing?

[humpy]

I usually use .09 but this guy was hung on .12 so that's what we used

I wouldn't think you would need .12 as light as they are. Seems like overkill and more weight. When I do one it will be .09 DOM.

It is officially mine. :thumbup:
