I'm glad to see you're not talking about me.

 

I have been around long enough to make a valid statement based on what others have said about, I have done "research" on variouse different machines and I know what I am talking about...

 

i gota q about the AWD system. When the AWD is engaged does it stay locked? or is it a regular 4x4 like the limited slip?

 

When the Polaris AWD is on, the front wheels aren't engaged until the rear wheels lose traction. When traction is regained and the front and rear wheel speed is the same, the front wheels are disengaged until the same thing happens again. This is a seamless operation and is often thought to have a "wait" in between the loss of traction and engagement of the front wheels. However, as I already stated, it is seamless and instantaneous.

 

If you look at the begining of the topic many people said that the awd doesnt go off untill you go in reverse

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]Why the heck do all you jap brand lovers spend so much time on the POLARIS forum???Is it you are all wantabees?????If you do not like Polaris go to your own forum and solve your own problems!!I have owned polaris atv's since 1987and continue to buy them.I truly believe in supporting the American economy.My family also owns American brand autos..The last time I checked our economy was in pretty sad shape.Used to be we took care of our own.I have yet to see anyone rush to help use when a disaster hits but who is the first to help when other countries have a problem...Proud to be American and damn proud to buy American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hello OffRder15
I believe this only happens if you simultaneously hit the rear brakes and cut the wheel. That throws you into a slide. However, the slide can be corrected for by turning into the slide. It is not the rear braking that swaps ends, it is the braking with a turning of the front wheels. Or the rear wheel braking on a turn or on a side hill. It is the improper correction of the slide that causes the ends to swap.

I am curious about another question. Has anyone removed the over-running clutch on the engine drive clutch to disable the EBS? This would solve the rear wheel braking for those not comfortable with it.

 

True indeed...Just got my sp800 no problems here..........Idle is 1190 and good smooth shifter...no creepen!!!

 

Well i've done two 1000 miles trips which took in the Paiute and the great western and the Fremont trails. Some trails were so steep that it took us 4 hours to go 10 miles. I was on a 500 HO sportsman both times. The ebs worked great and I had a lot of confidence. Anyone who has been on trail one just north of I 70 in Utah can tell you that this is some of the steepest trails there are..............Both 1000 miles trips were done in 5.5 days and not one problem with my HO...............how many of you guys have done 1000 mile trips.......?

 

No doubt, I can't remember when I needed all 4 wheels to dig down a hill.
4x4 is for going thru mud,snow & up steep hills.

I would probably do it this way, put it in low range & drive down the hill slow. The engine brake will hold it back on the hill thus saving your brake pads.
