I am looking at a 98 400 scrambler and the guy says" The reverse takes a minute to come in but once it does it works fine. You just have to play with it for a minute. The man at the dealership says that is from the belt as well and should correct itself whenever the belt is replaced". Does this sound right to anyone? Don't know alot about the belt drives yet. I have a sportsman as well and was wanting something a little sportier to go with it... Goin in the right direction I guess

 

Could be something as simple as linkage adjustment, I've seen the pivot at the trans come loose and a dealer told a buddy it needed the trans rebuilt. He brought it to me to check out and I found loose linkage, something worth checking anyway!

 

get a trailblazer 400 it would beat a scrambler any day

 

hey bud the 400 scrambler and trail blazer 400 are like the same machine

 

no the trail blazers are made for mostly raceing

 

Someone forgot to latch the gate.

 

the trailblazer is what they called the 400 till they discontinued it.... same motor and all

 

the trail blazers are mostly made for racing.......



man they have the same frame, shocks, motor, plastic, and pretty much everthing the same just differnt decals

 

the true polaris racing quad is the predator, the others were made to enjoy the trails.. not go 80mph...

 

My first guess would be the linkage adjustment or the bell crank (that little arm on top of the tranny that shifts it) may be stripped a little. If it had anything to do with the belt, I would suspect it would act the same in forward as reverse if it were a belt problem.


Trailblazer1989,
I'd love to know where you can get a 90.50mm piston for the 400 - I might like to stick one in my Scrammy, can you post a link to a web site were I can find one? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
