@@misfitgarageutah Pretty spendy for bolts!

[@misfitgarageutah]

@@charlesparker192 guess you’ve never purchased bolts from Polaris before… Also what’s even more speedy is having to fix your chassis when the stock one ruin your suspension then the chassis. Also they’re 14mm bolts. They’re not 10mm bolts like they used to use.

Polaris has a well known history of making great cars with lots of problems. They are the General Motors of the off road world. Building cars with dangerous, unforgivable defects then denying theirs a problem. My General had doors that would pop open constantly because the door latches were cheap garbage. The dealer would never acknowledge the problem existed. Deny, deny, deny. The next model year came with an entirely new automotive style latch that solved the problem. I asked the dealer if they would update my car with the new latches and if the previous latches weren’t an issue why did the manufacturer change the design. The dealer continued to deny my car had a problem and refused to fix my car.

I had the passenger rear shock fail and begin leaking on my XP at about 28 miles. Nothing but gentle putting around the farm to ensure proper break-in. The dealer and Polaris acted like I must have been flying off of dunes at top speed and it took over two months sitting in their shop to replace it. My first summer with a brand new machine was wasted. Now I sort of hate this $20k pile of shit and it just sits unused in my garage with under 40 miles on the clock. Polaris really soured me with shit customer service.

[@marka1712]

With the cost of these things it is ridiculous there are so many shortcut cheap out things to deal with as an owner of a new $30k plus machine. Even the new xp1000 costs $25k by the time you add taxes and fees for the cheapest one.

[@stepheno.2730]

Thank you for posting. No doubt the pro R is next level but knowing Polaris…I’m going to give it another year or two before moving on from my turbo S. I’m sure they’ll have this platform dialed soon.

[@1veryreal]

They look and perform amazing, but how many rzr have you seen with only 3-5k miles that have a brand new motor? That’s ridiculous for a $25-30k machine. Plus many times they find ways to not fulfill the warranty. Not cool.

[@C-141B_FE]

Where's the busted shock shown in the thumbnail?

[@jonm2300]

the rear sheave on the primary clutch is also a big issue Mine exploded last weekend

[@bobfisher9452]

Is it the same for the pro xp’s? Do you make a kit for that model if required? 2022 Pro XP4 probably the same as Pro R , thanks

[@misfitgarageutah]

Yes we do have a Pro XP kit on our website! misfitgarageutah.com/products/rzr-pro-xp-full-suspension-bolt-kit?variant=42769378082967

[@NicholasWagner-hx4qs]

We had the driver side shock fork fail.

[@misfitgarageutah]

We just released a full CNC machined shock fork that is stronger than the stock one. Check it out!

[@misfitgarageutah]

Oh really the driver side??? That will be the first time I’ve heard the driver and not the passenger side. What happened?

[@perfectionwake4691]

@@misfitgarageutah was just out riding the dunes in glamis, wasn’t really anything bad! Just popped.

[@Clearbrowser]

I love my pro r. But coming from 3 different can am x3 (most recently 2022 smart shox x3). The rzr feels a little more loose. The x feels tight. My rzr seat feels loose also.

[@misfitgarageutah]

The looseness is the bolts… I can almost guarantee it.

[@misfitgarageutah]

We make a bolt kit if you want to check it out

[@scottashton6118]

I have a pro r 4 ultimate. Clunks hitting bumps.

[@misfitgarageutah]

That’s from the bolts… you need to swap them out for correct bolts!

[@skeim5620]

Polaris wake up.the money these things cost no excuse for be cheap on them parts

[@misfitgarageutah]

Agreed there should be such a higher standard of quality for the cost of a pretty nice new car!

[@megadesertdiesel1468]

its funny BOTH of the aftermarket bolt kits are not 100%, MOST of the bolts in the kit still have too short of a shoulder to contact both tabs, the "shank" thickness of the OEM bolts and aftermarket are the same! Its only the 1/16" of an inch where the shoulder ends and the threads start. Which the threads have to be thinner that's where the nut engages. So much mis information out there. The real problem is the holes in the frame are oversized for the bolts, Polaris needs tighter tolerances, and Canam is worse in the regard.

[@misfitgarageutah]

Im confused how you know both kits are wrong? My kit is specifically made with shanks 100% long enough to contact both tabs. That is the entire reason I made them in the first place. Also originally when the Pro R was made they used bolts that had a shank that was .060 smaller in diameter IN ENTIRETY. Not just the part that transitions from shank to threads. Ive got some bolts in my possession if you would like me to send you pictures with a caliper showing you. Most 2023 and newer Pro Rs they changed the bolt shanks to have regular shank diameters.

[@MattHarris89]

@@misfitgarageutah So do the '23 and newer models not need the bolt kit?

[@campb636]

I assume that if any of these issues fail during the factory warranty, Polaris would fix the problem.

[@misfitgarageutah]

Uh no…. Not at all! They will say you caused the parts to fail. That’s why everyone puts aftermarket parts on the car. If your front shock fork or the ball joint fail. It ruins that entire corner of the car… Typically both arms, most of the plastics by your feet. Does thousands in damage.

[@tristinstewart8439]

Misfit Garage Utah sells a lot of these kits for a reason! They know what they’re talking about. Their product is sound, tried, tested and true! They do this for a living and k ow what they’re doing for sure. I trust them all the way! They will never steer you wrong.

[@bradpowell843]

Yes it would be under warranty if it’s left stock.

[@tomk5047]

Is there anybody that makes a properly shaped bolt kit for these? That way you can swap them out in one day instead of trying to piece things together. And also is there a link for the Keller ball joints?

Did you order the kit? Let me know when you do and we will hook you up with some stuff

[@MrSuttonp]

Anyone else dealing with the heat issues inside the cab? The pro r’s are so freaking hot

[@misfitgarageutah]

All of the RZRs for a long while have been that way. It’s cause they run the radiator lines through the center tunnel. Just roasting the cab of the car.

[@misfitgarageutah]

You can wrap the water lines, heat wrap the plastic center console pieces. But not a whole lot to be done.

[@tzahifadida6711]

Are you smarter than all the engineers and the scientists that developed this machine??????

[@misfitgarageutah]

You really think engineers are always right when it comes to designs!? I think there’s a lot of mechanics who would strongly disagree. When new models like this come out they have weak points. Then they tweak them in the years to come.

[@LiLFeNiX333]

this is wrong and this is wrong..... we sell these things.... scam lol

No idea why hard working folks buy this Polaris junk. Get a KRX and never look back.
