umm make sure u get the hpd tensioner because it comes with the right size tap and bit.

 

So Far I really like my Scrambler, I too did about 3-4 months worth of research. Im real pleased with the bike.
Quick question, The 2004 comes with a chain guide under the swing arm. I assume I will have to take that off before I add the chain tensioner right?
I did order the HPD chain tensioner, because it does come with the drill bit and tap. I just haven't received it yet so Im not real sure what it looks like.
I like all the setups I see here in the posts. Im not suree what all the clutch springs do and Im not sure how to install the clutch springs. Any instructions anywhere? I am pretty mechanically inclined, so Im sure I could figure it out with a little guideance.

 

the tensioner comes with intrustions and u have to take them guard off and its mount

 

To get the chain guide off use a drimmel tool with a cutoff wheel and it comes right off.

 

you will need a clutch puller to get the primany clutch off to change the springs. HPD, and maybe HSP, and your dealer will sell them.

 

You dont have to pull the clutch to put springs or weights in the primary.Just take the6 bolts out and there it all is.Be sure to line up the Xs on reassymbly and have a second pair of hands for the secondary spring pre load.

 

Excellent!
Thanks guys, I'll save a little money after I decide which route I want to go and let ya know how it goes.
I may be back during take down for advice.
Thanks again

 

due to yor machien being 4wd, I wouldnt mess around with the gearing. You can screw things up with that.

Please correct me if im wrong but the gearing/sprockets only effects the speed/torque u want to put to the ground, the difference in tire size(front 23" rear 22") is what would effect the 4wd operation. On the polaris system when the 4wd button is pressed the front drive shaft and differential moves like it would on any other atv but the front tires only enguage when the atv slows down due to rear tire slippage causing the hubs to enguage thus giving u 4wd, when the atv rear tires stop spinning and the 4 tires are doing the same speed again the hubs automaticly disenguage leaveing u with normal 2wd for easier stearing. In reality u are powering the front end but the hubs dont lock up connecting it to the tires until there is a difference in speed between the front and rear tires.

Figured I would throw this in because I have seen a few members state that a gear/sprocket will effect the 4wd.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well I got my chain tensioner on and I put it on a little too far back towards the rear wheels and I could hear a clicking noise well the chain was rubbing on the grease fitting of the chain tensioner . So I move it back up the swing arm and I still hear a clicking noise, I think it is rubbing against the bottom of the swing arm when the chain vibrates up and down. I tightened the chain but I still hear it occasinoally. I had my rear shock at the softest setting. Iam going riding today at Houston Raceway park , I guess I' ll see how it does.
Any advice?
Thanks.

 

About the 4x4 and sprockets, Yes you can mess things up if the ratio is not correct. It would be the same as if you had two different size tire ratio's like a 20 in front and a 23 in back. But, they sell these in sets, chain and all, specifically for the scram 4x4's so it shoud take all the guess work out for you.

The AWD system of the polaris is NOT as complicated as it would seem. WIth the AWD engaged, with the ratio that is run in the drive system, the front wheels spin 5% slower than the rear, thus coasting when the rear wheel have traction. When the rear wheels slip the front in a sence catch up and grab. It is pretty simple if you think about it... SO as you can see, if you change the ratio, it WILL SCREW THE SYSTEM UP, be it tire size or mixing sprocket ratio. YOu have to keep the same tire ratio from 1" bigger in the front, and if you are going to change the sprockets, you have to change them all to keep that same ratio. Ok, now I am just being redundant!!!!
