well i have now 50 hours and about 700 miles on the machine.....so far the motor has been flawless, gobs and gobs of power.....now for the bad findings.........left outer front brake pad wore down to the metal the other 3 brake pads still over half.......both upper ball joints have play in them......both front lower control arms at the frame mount have play in them...the lower rear control arms at he frame are loose also and both top and bottom mounts at the bearing housings are loose also.....this bike has not seen any mud holes either.....mainly cuz there is no mud holes (very dry here) most of the miles have been old dirt/gravel country roads and some moderate trails.....now that i have vented i must order parts.......4 months 50 hours ....not a happy polaris day here........

 

I've seen it a 100000 times.. Sorry

 

Have you ever greased them? After 700 miles they are probably starving...

 

i doubt there is many grease fitting on it as the new ones dont have many at all.

 

yes they were all greased at about 15 and 30 hours......and yes they had grease in them when i pulled them apart.....the plastic bushings show wear on one side and the metal rod where it rides has wear on it also

 

stendori the new ones (850xp) have 4 per side on the front and 5 per side on the rear......and they are a real beatch to get to....i had to make a 90 degree tip to get to them. theres a total of 19 fittings i have found to grease

 

That really sucks that they didnt last that long. Atleast they are not that hard to change.....Just MESSY.
