This is the transmission. No timing chain.

@BackboneADV I'm aware that it's not there. I asked about the engine) Can you tell me please

History lesson: When the model first came out around 2008, it was called a "Razor" and printed on the machine that way. Not sure if there were legal or branding issues regarding that word, but they quickly changed it to "RZR". However, the term "Razor" stuck, and is still used by some in the public to this day. Polaris does not refer to it as a "Razor".

@ in 2008 it was launched as the “Ranger RZR” and has always been pronounced “razor”. Polaris markets the machine with this pronunciation, not “R-Z-R”

yes

None at all.

Sure. If it saw quite a bit of 4x4 trail. My Jeeps see 4x4 trail every day. It only takes 5000 miles before I have to change out at least one of the tie rods. Of course this depends on how someone drives the Jeep on a rocky trail. There could be other reasons as well. If it was lifted and an alignment wasn't done properly. Tires completely out of balance. Things like that can wear on tie rods over a short period of time.

Go to the Polaris Adventures website, fill out a request to be an outfitter, and a rep will get ahold of you. He/she can walk you through every question you have. It's a great program.

I'm not ready for it

@BackboneADV The best thing of amazing Colorado is the crazy weather. It's literally the best state. Ever!

If those are working and high and low aren't, you could be dealing with a bigger problem. I would imagine the high and low gears and/or the engagement dogs inside the transmission are shot. I've seen this a lot in older machines. I have a video on youtube that shows how to rebuild the transmission. It's not overly complicated.

@@BackboneADV thanks. I'll check them out

I'll be honest, I went back to the Nitto Ridge Grappler on my truck for this year. The Kenda R/T were great though. I just felt like they wore a tad quicker than the Nittos (was my fault probably. I spent a lot more time off road this year and spinning in some nasty shit). The M/T is the best tire I've used on our Jeeps though. Those damn things hold up well. However, it's a loud tire. So if you're driving on roads a lot, I'm not sure you would like it. I'm 2 months in on that new set of ridge grapplers and I'm already starting to kick myself.

@@BackboneADV Thanks for your reply! What was your experience on ice/frozen weather with the Ridge Grapplers compared to the R/Ts? That's what's really kind of holding me back from buying a third pair of Ridge Grapplers is the winter performance. I drive from Oregon to Nevada and cross the cascades and sierras on the way. Mainly trying to find some RT/Hybrids that will perform better in icy conditions.

Did you make it back to Colorado yet?

@@BackboneADV First week of May. Can't come soon enough man!

@@TriptoCo Cool. Hit me up when you get here dude

@@BackboneADV Without fail.

Good questions: They charge a certain amount for each machine in your fleet. So, the price just goes up. There are only a couple reasons the customer wouldn't be at fault. 1. They're sitting still and someone else hits them. 2. You rented them a faulty machine that failed and caused the accident. In that case, eah, there could be a lawsuit if someone was inurred. When a serious injury does occur and a lawsuit is brought, one of the first things that will be requested by the court is to ground the vehicle so it can be inspected by the court via an independent expert. This is why maintenance and dailt inspections are very important. Expensive repairs? That depends on the year, make, and model. Every machine has a week point that can be costly. The biggest expense you're going to see is belts and primary clutches. Polaris and Can-Am require new a new belt every 300 - 400 miles unless you want to recover a broke down machine on the trail and deal with an unhappy customer. The primary clutch will need rebult every 750 - 1000 miles. That will usually cost around $400 if you do the work yourself. As for tip overs: It's rare to see damages under $1500 (your cost for parts).

$1000, but I bought a lot of shit I didn't really need too and an extra kit for touch ups later. Which I needed because I backed into a tree and jacked up my tailgate.

Awesome job brother! If I cant find the color I want on my next one I will be doing the same!!! Look like it will be a lot of prep work though lol so hoping I get lucky but that’s one of the sharpest PW I’ve seen

You'll have to get them from your CanAm dealer

It;s just residual gear oil from the trans. No need to lubricate when working on it. Once you fire it up and drive it, fluid will flow into that area.
