[@rudyshoplopez7366]

great .. did you get the itemes you ordered for it? i might get one in the Camo colors this weekend

[@Howard892]

I did and everything is installed already have a video on what they look like I'll be sure to post it soon. Still want to get a winch and front side and rear bumpers. And lastly upgrade the tires. You'll love it.

I have a Sportsman XP 1000 and one Feature that the 1000 has is Bluetooth to your phone You can see your calls and read text messages And also when you power up your phone device name is shown so When I got home with it I freaked my wife out by having It to say my name that I loved her name and also shows phone battery level.

[@Howard892]

Is that on the 2021 model? That's awesome Sadly this unit doesn't have that. Still not sure what's Premium about this unit. I woulda thought stuff like bluetooth and the LED lights woulda came standard on Premium.

@@Howard892 it's a 2018 Sportsman XP 1000, I have 700 hard miles so far with no problems.

[@Howard892]

@@crazyflyboy30 Very cool tomorrow I'm working on adding more accessories to my 850. Ready to hit the trails again.

Hey have you ever had a problem with the gas gauge not working I have a 2018 and my gas gauge is not working

[@Howard892]

No sorry haven't had an issue so far. What is it doing?

[@brandenlewis3815]

I just bought an 850 highlifter and going through the manual, I didn’t understand how to display the hours or service time clock. Can you tell me how?

[@Howard892]

Hey Branden if you watch my video titled My brand new 2021 Polaris Sportsman 850 I did a more thorough look at the display and went thru all the options. If your display looks the same as this one it's the same. The display starts at 4:55 in that other video. Hope that helps you. What I didn't want to mess with was actually resetting it due to it not being ready to be reset as for service hours.

[@jacobeakens1505]

Did you have issues with the gauge not scrolling? I just bought my highlifter today and none of my buttons work after 2 hours.

[@Howard892]

@@jacobeakens1505 Interesting no my buttons and display are working great. You my friend probably have a bad display or even button issues. I'd take it back to dealer pretty soon to get it fixed.

[@pittsburghatecore]

My fuel gauge disappears on my 2022 model. Is there a way to get it to stay displayed?

[@Howard892]

That definitely does not sound right. Mine stays on entire ride. Unless they changed it from 21 model to 22. I'd play around with your menu options see if you find a setting that isn't on or off.

[@redhawk9552]

So how you charge whatever needs to be charged to keep the clock correct? Mine is only 1 year olds and clock won’t stay set. Help.

[@Howard892]

Wow I was just boosting how good Polaris clock keeps time. Even this unit I hadn't driven it in like 2 months and the time was still good. Only thing I would maybe try is hooking a trickle charger on the battery. Because the John Deere gator I drive doesn't keep time worth a crap and it's driven daily sometimes hourly so it's not a engine on need.

[@redhawk9552]

@@Howard892 I just went outside unhooked battery and the entire Ganges plug for 10 minutes. Put all back together and all works perfect. Hope it stays working properly.

[@Howard892]

Good deal I'll keep an eye on mine and if I start having issues I'll dig into this. Glad it reset.

[@richardbelliveau8881]

Do you know how to reset your trip meters?

[@Howard892]

Yesir without sitting with my unit and actually doing it I believe if you push and hold either the up or down arrow and it should reset.

[@beckyeldridge2858]

How do I check how many hours it has

[@Howard892]

If the exact same display and while on the main part of the screen where you can see trip and MPH if you click the up and down it should toggle thru and show trip 1,trip 2, RPMs it should show I believe engine hrs. Different from service hrs. That's your count down to know when to take it in to get service.

[@emergencyresponsevideosand4423]

I see red and blue lights in backrounds

[@Howard892]

Christmas lights on the house.

[@emergencyresponsevideosand4423]

Oh ok lol not Christmas

[@Justcuz99]

Red doesn't affect your night vision

[@Howard892]

Red is used for dark environments to preserve night vision or easier on the eyes at night. If the US Military and Law Enforcement agencies across the state uses red reading lights for this exact reason I think that's a pretty good assumption.

[@Justcuz99]

@@Howard892 I agree lol. Served in both the USMC and the Army. To bad night vision goggles can't be in red.
