Unhappy Polaris 850 XP

Has anybody encountered this problem? My 2010 850 Touring, on occasion, will pull to the right front at low speed. It is undriveable over 20 mph, due to severe shake and wobble. I thought the right front caliper was sticking, but this is not the case. The only thing that works is to stop, shift in to reverse, then back into high, or low. This will work for a few rtides, then the problem returns. My dealer is no help.

Try changing the AWD fliud in the front diff, dirty "OnDemand" fliud caused one of my hubs to do that once,clean new stuff fix it.

I had the exact same thing and had to do the reverse and back into high. I figured it was a sticky brake pad also and just left it at that. It only happened maybe three time in a thousand mile so I haven't pursued it any farther.

Could the front hub be sticking like they used to on the older quads. I had a 1992 250 4X4 Sportsman and one or the other hub woudl stick on occasion after being in 4 wheel drive. You had to stop, back up a few feet and then everything was fine.

Not sure how far the new technology has changed and I have not had that experience on my 08 500 touring as yet but i only have 300 miles on it so far.

I would doubt it,the locking Hillary in the front diff now. Do they have the exploding plastic roller cage thing fix on the new XPs yet? A cracked or broken roller cage can make the front act in strange ways.
