i just pick up the 550 xp, my first polaris [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so far i love the thing!!! smooth ride lots of power and the steering is so easy my 4 yr old car turn the wheels while just sitting still. i am looking for a place to dl a breakdown of parts, like on mrcycle.com or cyclepartsnation.com and if anyone knows of after market parts for it yet.
here are some pics

 

Nice machine though I think it would look better in the color of mud.

 

Congrats on the XP! Mine should be in within a couple weeks, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas!

Here is the Polaris Parts catalog:

Not sure on the aftermarket parts yet,I know Polaris has alot of accessories but don't think they have updated the Pure Polaris site yet.
Don Woods has some on their EBay store:

The link got messed up, try it now.

 

Can you tell us more about it in detail? I would like to know some more about the power and handling and just about everything I guess...I am 90% sure I'm going to pick one of these up, but there isn't a lot of detailed info out there.

Thanks.

 

the steering is so easy my 4 yr old son can turn the wheels when the bike is off and he is sitting on it. he can not do that to the 250 recon or the 420.

the power is awsome! i have not fully rode it to hard, YET [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] hit the gas and you better be holding on good

handling is 10 times better then my 420. smother ride, dont feel the bumps very much. im used to a straight axle and now im on an irs, they are totally two different bikes.

the seat is soooo soft [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

the only thing i dont know if i like yet is the foot rests. they are huge!! im used to about 10 or so inches on my 420, which i really like, to the 13 or so inches on the xp.

there is a post of the 850 shootout you should check that out. they do a 550 shootout too

 

Thanks for the info. How is the low range on it? They claim that they geared it higher, but is it geared too high?

 

dont know yet. im trying to break it in before i go ***** to the walls with it

 

Nice! Grats! Yes one of the things i wld like to know about is the low gear also. I hate that i have to be switching from low to high all the time on the trails! Sometimes i wish it did not have low gear so i did not have to use it lol! Again grats!
