Has anyone tried to install a full time 4X4 switch on the XP's yet?
I was just curios if anyone has tried this yet. By looking at the wiring diagram and watching the video it looks like is just a matter of cutting off the ground wire path from the AWD coil. B/W wire.

Never mind... I got my own wires crossed. That only supplies power to the coil. I guess the AWD system is hydraulic activated. Anyhow, anyone got any ideas on how to full time 4X4 it just for fun.

 

Front and rear gear ratios are differant and wouldn't be a good idea to have it locked solid.
It does lock solid when the rears tires lose traction and release when not needed.

 

Just a question... Why would you want all time 4x4?

 

awd is activated electricly , not by hydraulic, if you want full time awd, leave the switch on all the time.

 

If you want full time 4x4 there are other quad choices out here suck as a Yamaha Grizzly or a Suzuki King Quad!

 

If a Polaris was true full time 4wd wheel drive,it would be unsteerable. it does not have one front wheel free wheeling like on a 3wd limited slip ATV front ends, its both front wheels or nothing. It would be like riding a ATV with 4 wheel diff lock engaged all the time,almost uncontrollable above slow speeds.

There AWD is electric not Hydraulic.

If you want full 4wd just leave it in AWD all the time.

 

Couldn't have said it better if I wanted to D57!!!!! Just kidding. I love the Grizz. Wish they made a 2 seater.

One of the things I like about the PoPo system is that you can leave it in AWD and it won't be in AWD until there is a speed difference between the front tires and rear tires.

 

There all fixed! Thanks Moose!
