Nice Corvette

[@johns7809]

Nice I have to of the 850s great Machines.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I agree wish it had the 3 mode throttle switch like the XP 1000. Thanks for watching!

[@davidh1314]

Very nice! I might get those for my XP1000

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I love em..Thanks for watching!

[@KuntryFried_ATV]

Great video, thank you. Also what drill bit did you use at the end on the studs? Were you rounding the ends out? Thanks

[@JohnFrancoNH]

chamfering/deburring tool

[@stevebonnici8472]

Do you have to tune it at all with the lift and spacers?

[@billkohnen5399]

What was the torque you used to put the spacer to the quad. Thanks in advance

[@dannywaits1711]

Definitely better looking

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes and best part more stable. Thanks for watching!

[@BuiltByMike]

Nice zr1

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks ✌️

[@KuntryFried_ATV]

After installing the spacers, are you still able to get your 850 on the back of your truck bed? I have an 850 as well and would like to install spacers but my only way to transport is the bed of my truck.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

the 850 yes the xp 1000 with 1" spacers and ITP 4+3 rim offset no go.

[@bigjay6743]

I had 1- 1/2 on mine I just took them off though didn't like the way it felt in the steering and plus I kept bottoming out really messes with your suspensions Genometry. I'm sure better shocks would fix this But as of now they're just sitting in the corner.

[@flare4207]

You can adjust the throttle on the xp 1000

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Really! Do you have any info on how?

[@flare4207]

@@JohnFrancoNH I don’t know how to but I will look into it I have seen and heard about people doing it but idk how they did it I think if u open up the throttle housing their are a few adjustments idk

[@hugostiglitz2388]

Ever think of a twist throttle? $20.00 will give the the kit which includes new grips.

[@DanCoble]

what spacers did you use if you dont mind me asking, i have a 2023 polaris sportsman 570 trail edition im having the same problem of balance with but i want to get the right ones so which do you suggest that will fit my bike?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I forget where i got them. But i have the ones off my XP1000 for sale on ebay right now

[@DanCoble]

@@JohnFrancoNH ok thank you, will they fit the 570 do you think? i mean the bolt pattern should be the same for the 570 850 1000 i would think because the only thing bigger is the motor i bet

[@HeyItsAsmus]

@@JohnFrancoNHwhy are you selling them? I have an xp 1000 ultimate trail and I’m thinking about doing the lift kit and the 1” spacer but I’m nervous the axles will be too steep..

[@Twistedoff2]

With the tires pushed out, do you get more debris on you?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Not at all. Thanks for watching!

[@chrislawson4019]

What is the arched looking thing going from one side of the handle bar to the other side of the handle bar? Close to the speedo?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Its a snowmobile mountain grab bar

[@cmscustoms4400]

Nice...I have same bike. What did you do for a lift kit? Do you have links to spacers, lift kit and led bulb? Thx

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Info is in the description of each video. Thanks for watching!

[@cmscustoms4400]

No....it just says you got them on eBay. No link. No description.

[@cmscustoms4400]

I’m looking for the wheel spacers specifically. It says you got them on eBay but there’s no link. Can you please provide a link? There are so many configurations online. Thank you!

That link is no longer avail. Must not be available anymore?

[@wattyd6867]

I'm curious to know what floor jack you have?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

The grey one is a Harbor freight low profile 2.5 ton. I also have a black/yellow craftsman 3 ton. Thanks for watching!

[@1rustyshackelford]

Do either of your machines have slop in the steering? My 2020 850 feels like tie rods are shot even though i have replaced them and they have zero play

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Yes i noticed that on both my machines. Even the brand new 850 has the same amount of slop in the steering. Very noticeable when the machine is off and you move the bars. Its coming from the electric power steering box. Very odd.

[@1rustyshackelford]

@@JohnFrancoNH Do you feel it through the handlebars when your riding?

[@MichaelWilliams-if4qk]

Where can I get that grab bar

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Check out my other videos i have the amazon links below the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@jrnybiz]

What are the torque specs?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Polaris recommends 75 ft. lbs. but no way! I torque mine to 65 ft lbs. evenly and in 2 stages

[@jrnybiz]

@@JohnFrancoNH thank you!

[@jvallow]

Hey man, just picked up a 2021 850. Can we get a link to these, please? Thanks!

[@middlehot]

Why did we need to cut the stud on the spacer

[@harjotlongia]

Is anyone out there running 28" ITP Blackwaters on the stock 14" polaris alloy wheels?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I find running larger and wider tires on stock rims to look really odd. Get some thing aftermarket or beadlocks with a lip or concave shape to it so theres less damage on rim face/spokes

[@pOOlarisking]

When that jack fails one day you could loose a toe

[@JohnFrancoNH]

i know my equipment, dont you worry

[@biiggbry]

why did you cut the studs ?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Because these are utv sxs spacers and the lug nuts would not hold the wheel on otherwise. Thanks for watching!

[@biiggbry]

Are there any spacers on the market that you don't have to cut ?

[@dhamilton201]

Your wife's bike is better looking!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

LOL
