That guy should be an ambassador for Polaris. Bet they would love him!
TFL ...more like FML according to this guy ;)
Well, I feel depressed now 🤣.
No point complaining. You wanna play, you gotta pay.
Before he heads out for a ride he asked his wife did i forget anything, she says yeah the kitchen sink.
What I learned: Do not expect to not pay for stuff. Got it 👍
At 64 I have similar experiences as you demonstrate. Mine was a 2008 Rzr but I had the airbox that sucked fine dirt into my intake. As for expense? MORE than my 2006 GMC dually crew cab plus 1997 Lance Legend Fully loaded camper combined! $500 here, $800 there, less than 1300 miles, most expensive toy I ever owned. A toy is what it is. Did I enjoy it. Sure I did. I called it my personal low budget desert runner!
Because of Polaris, I learned over time Crestliner, a multi purpose boat I thought I wanted to get into (?) NO FRIGGIN way was I going to commit to a bank loan on that EVER. I managed a 2012 JK until two weeks after extended warranty expired, computers went out. Leaving me thousands of dollars in the hole, as Jeep had no Certified Pentistar computers to repair replace. So? I took it in the shorts and sold it back to my dealer discovering later they never got it repaired scrapped it. Took the loss. Never ever resold. Now theres a law suit over 2012 JK’s.
This second, I don’t own jack squat in boy toys. NO RV either. I now book trips other people are responsible to assure my outdoor experiences are wonderful. I only have to show up, get onboard, the rest is total enjoyment for me without all the cost, repairs, no useless [buying] clothing cold or foul weather clothing needed, boots even. I buy nadda. Once you learn how to rent an excursion, study the outfit offering the fun, get on a plane ✈️ fly there bam! Enjoy. No ice chest needed.
Guide services are Marvelous. BTW.
He's definitely telling the truth lol, work on mine a good bit but I ride the shit outta mine. 2018 90s with 5,500 miles on it
900s
Honestly you helped me make the right decision, I think. I wouldn’t ride a lot like others and I would like to put time elsewhere than upgrading, maintaining and fixing things. ATV it is.
Just bought a Yamaha yxz love it, well made and great build quality, I had 2 900 Polaris and didn’t think they were so great. Quite a few recalls and things like bushings uncomfortable interior, bad seats, but at the time the power was good I guess. I think that’s one of their only strong points
I have a 2018 RZR XP1000 4 seat, 2019 RZR XP1000 2 seat and a 2019 RZR RS1, So far no mechanical issues with any of them. I made the mistake and took the 4 seat to the dealer for its first service and got raped for $330, all they did was a oil change. I went on Amazon and bought grease guns and tools needed to service it myself. I take off the belt cover after every ride and clean the belt, clutches and air filter, change the front diff oil myself and the gearbox and engine oil. no problems whatsoever. if you maintain them they are pretty reliable side-by-side's. They are money pits though, there is an unlimited amount of accessories you can buy for these things.
Welcome to any motorsport in the world. What a Debbie Downer of a video.
Thanks for the info. Too many issues good luck.
Kinda rambling video, not overly happy with spending money eh pal? LOL
Great idea this - guide to off-road owners.
Off reading is building it to break it so ultimately you can fix it that.is what makes it fun.
I'm getting mixed messages here. It held up after so and so miles BUT I've had issues. That's a contradiction. Not to blame the guy in the video but some people are accustomed to buying vehicles that are not reliable and expecting to fix them and still say, "it's a good vehicle". How can it be good if it's always breaking down? I have a 2015 Honda Pioneer 700.....ZERO problems. I had a 2008 Honda Rancher 420 for over 10 years, I had 1 problem, the voltage regulator. I had a 2011 Honda Rancher 420 which I had 8 years and had ZERO PROBLEMS. Polaris is a notch up from the Chinese machines. And maintaining it has nothing to do with its longevity. It's engineering and building a product with cheap parts that will fail prematurely. All these companies do what's called 'accelerated life testing'. They know when a part will fail thus keeping manufacturing costs down and keeping the stealerships happy. Read Consumer Affairs about Polaris track record.
Exactly why I wouldn't buy a Polaris. THEY LOOK FOR EVERY EXCUSE NOT TO HONOUR THE WARRANTY. Sad but I have to laugh how they won't honor the 'extended' warranty.
I bought a used one. Took it to my local dealer, and they had no problem taking care of recalls for me. Some other dealers around me are straight up ripoff though.
Hey guys I am the shop manager for a car audio store in Central Florida audio video creations and we see our fair share of-by-sides. Everything from a couple thousand dollar stereo system do absolutely crazy stereo custom lights custom tires suspension the list goes on and on. This holiday weekend people are up in North Florida at a place called hog Waller more than 20,000 crazy weekends of four wheelers and big trucks love the videos guys keep them coming
If you like traveling to different area’s then I really recommend trying Land between the lakes off-road park there’s over 83 trails and amazing hilltop views.Love your machine tho man
Well I guess he saying don’t bother getting into it this hobby 😀
No no, you totally missed his precise message. It's get it so you can be miserable. He highly suggests you get one and waste lots of money and time into a hobby that you might do once a month and have a garage cluttered with parts and misc. other gear. He would never send a mixed message of do but don't buy 1. lol
No point complaining. You wanna play, you gotta pay.
I have had one for 3 years and I have not spent a DIME on it for ANYTHING. Stock tires, stock shocks, stock springs, stock bushings, STOCK, STOCK, STOCK and I have the warranty and have it serviced when required at my DEALER, I drop it off after a ride and a week or two later the next time I want to ride it I pick it up, and have had ZERO problems. I hose it down with water after every ride, DONE. BTW, I have had a GRIZZLY for 5 years and it is stock. I haven't even replaced the stock tires for FIVE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! I ride for around 80 hours every summer.
How long have you been employed by Polaris?
@@ve3xtr 😂
Can you find the link for fender flares? I love those.
Had a Polaris lawsuit ad on this video 😂
What is the dash mount for your ipad/note?
Damn man really!
This guy rocks - so true...
I've watched Matt's Off-road Recovery unit pull a dozen of these things off the dunes and rocks of Utah near Hurricane. Don't think I would care to invest in one, thank you! A jeep is a better investment, although these critters appear to be rather nimble when they're working...
I'm going to disagree. You just throw money at Jeep's. I have a 2012 RZR 800 with 9k miles and it is running like a champ. I have replaced the spark plugs three times costing me around $100.
Matt’s Off-road Recovery is the best channel! And I agree on the side-by-side’s are money pits, but what hobby isn’t?
have a 900xc, 900S, and a 1000S. all pretty easy to work on. Plastic painted panels, front plastic bumper, plastic bed are really expensive to replace, get a front bumper! Grease your wheel bearings/bushings, use actual Polaris front diff/rear diff lube, plan on the carrier bearing to fail, and for the love of god don't use Turf mode. Pulling that transmission is not fun when turf mode grenades itself.
That's a thing about Turf Mode? For the Rangers as well? (Edit...Oh, wow, just did a search for "polaris turf mode problem"...lots of issues reported. Sheesh.)
I suggest Kawasaki teryx. 3 year power train warranty......and comes with fox adjustable shocks.
This guy took 8.5 min to complain about his poor buying habits and lack of time and 30 sec saying he'd buy it again.
Buddy, why do you have 4 winches? I have 2 ATV's and 2 winches, submerge them, muddy them up, one is a warm one is a champion. Whatever you're doing to need 4, stop it lol.
If you bought 4 sets of tires for one sxs, you have a buying problem. Half the stuff you complained about buying, you don't need. Sell all the junk and just enjoy the toy.
TFL for life!
Lol yes he's definitely telling the truth. Mine is the same way always working on it but I ride the shit outta mine. 2018 900s 5500 miles
What trailer is that? And size?
I have 2000 miles on mine. I've only done oil changes and a belt. None of this guys gear whatsoever. I ride in regular clothes. Oregon mountians and dunes. Still original tires with rear paddles for the coast. He's seems like a doomsday prepper
Okay, yeah if you don't keep maintenance records you might as well throw every warranty you have in the trash. Warranties for any vehicle are only valid if you have records of maintenance and follow the maintenance intervals exactly. For example at a dealership or logged in the factory maintenance log book.
Idk your gripe seems kind of tacky to me.
Hi big fans
Go get yourself a golf cart !
I’ve had 2 Honda pioneers, the current one is a 1000-5 I’ve had for 3 years. It’s a workhorse on my land and in Moab. Never had a single issue, don’t plan to switch brands anytime soon. I don’t have any of this extra bullshit gear lying around.
Same here. I have to Pioneer 700. Zero issues after 5 years. I love how buddy said it's held up but has and issues. Contradictory to say the least. Yeah yeah... Polaris more power but power is nothing when you're broken down in the middle of know where.
Tfl live
I thought you were going to at least appear in the video.
Where have you been man? Haven't seen your name in awhile.
Try knitting!
You may overpay a little on things it sounds like & overplan. I'm looking for my 2nd one. I'll take your pain & suffering off your hands for $8,500.
Thanks tho.
AAAA. TEEEE VEEEAN. HE SAYS. 😆
And rat e ator instead of radiator 😂
@@Mightys_adventure lol
I’d rather save 12-17k and buy an el cheapo dune buggy. Just replace the whole thing if it goes bad lol. 😂
Side by sides. Car prices with ATV performance.
Except some ATV’s blow doors off some cars, lol
Wrong
Oh really. I can prove you wrong anytime.
He said it's reliable & he recommends it but he was complaining a lot. I think it's him that over buying stuff & does not maintain it well.
Polaris, cheap components to save money, then deny warranty to save more money, F them, glad I'm a Yamaha guy
Mike J yeah I feel ya bought 2 Polaris not so good own a yxz now and love it
I'd stick with the Honda quads over side by sides anyway.
All this video is is an inventory out this garage. BFD
Sounds like this guy doesn't like spending the money that goes into it...
Honda talon is the best
Hoarder
Way to whinny for me!
Get a honda Yamaha
😂
Ok this guy just made this sport sound like absolute garbage lol its not that bad. You really just need to maintain the vehicle like any car you would buy. Maybe get some aftermarket parts here and there but its really not that horrible. I will also he has waaaaaaayyyyy more gear than I would EVER use. However he did say he overlands the thing where I mostly day ride so there are differences in stuff you would need and want. The thing is, where you come to spending cash, it is because you love the spirt so much, you want to do this. Then go do this to do this better. Then get this for that. It is not necessary but it will eat you away if you do let it. Most machines now days are ready for anything from the showroom floor. It just comes down to personal preference at the end of the day
Polaris is not known for durability or being low maintenance.
self inflicted
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Springs are crap from Polaris? EVERYTHING is crap from Polaris.
Just wanted to let you know that this video in no way shape or form was helpful in telling us viewers about the machine and its capabilities. Nobody cares how many helmets you have
atv/utv is not a cheap hobby, PERIOD , the accessories for both are limitless, and the more you research and watch others videos and look at other rides the more you WANT,. yeah not cheap... but then again...what is post democratvirus and bidenflation
