Thanks for checking out the video! I hope I can touch on some common questions people have in this video. I just filmed this off the top of my head without really thinking about it so I know I missed some point but I just wanted to address some basic areas. I get asked about stuff like this constantly so it's easier to make a video like this then to answer the same e-mails over and over. Let me know if you like content like this and I can make some more videos like it. Leave your comments below. I think I am also going to make a video that addresses the most important modifications to do to your machine as well as how to choose the right tires for your needs. As always, thanks for watching and thanks for the support!!! #AdrenalineJunkieProd #TeamAJP
I thought the video was great. I have been off roading for coming up on 40 yrs now. I think you hit on all the important things to look at and do when buying used. I all appreciate the honesty and direct comments. No beating around the Bush so to say. Keep up the great job and see you in the next video
Just got a 23 rzr trail premium 900 two weeks ago with the wife, plan on trail riding with people with 4 wheelers
@@matteagle8206 congrats on the new ride man!! I’m sure youll love it. They did a good job on the new trail models.
THUMBS UP if you bought your machine USED!
I grew up poor so I buy all my toys used
THUMBS UP if you bought your machine NEW!
I LIKE THIS BRO THANK YOU 💯💯💯
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I have a 2016 RZR XP 4 1000 with 6500 miles on it and it is still running strong! Bought it brand new. I maintain it regularly and baby it out on the trails. I have a buddy who bought his RZR a few weeks after I got mine, and he has 2500 miles on it, and it looks like it went through a war zone. Its all beat to hell.
Take the time and maintain your UTV. It will last longer and you wont have any issues in selling it later.
Great informative video, you covered virtually everything. Good job !
Some great info! You covered a ton of ideas and material. I think what is important is if the person doesn't have much money, a used 900s is a great all around machine granted its not trashed. A 900s will hang with everything out there unless you're driving mach1 or traversing big boulders, which is not really what us normal people do. In fact sometimes a little smaller machine will do more stuff than a bigger one because of being nimble and lighter! I will mention it's nice to have a little more than less when you really need it though. I have friends that have bigger way more powerful machines than mine but never use all it has to offer! I just smile and head down the trail. thanks Julian.
Great stuff, I was just out checking my 2017 RZR 1000 I bought about 2months ago, it passed all your tests,thanks for your info.
Glad you found it helpful. Also, I'm glad you got a good unit!
So much Info, thanks for posting
Very informative! Thanks for this video, you hit on lots of important stuff.
Awesome vid man this really helped me out went to check out a rzr yesterday and it had all the red flags you said checking out another one this week you’re a life saver new sub
Hey man, glad this video helped you out! Last thing you want to do is pay good money for someone’s problem machine. Good luck on your purchase, take your time and find the right unit.
This is a lot of good information that I have not even thought of! Thanks for the video!
Glad you found the information interesting and helpful!
i admire your straight forwardness,, thanks for the great tips..
I bought a 2017 xp1000 and I absolutely love it! I mostly do forest trails and gravel roads. It’s got plenty of power and is surprisingly great at slow speeds and crawling.
Wow! Great info man! Thx!
I think you did a pretty good job explaining this subject matter especially for someone that's not well versed in sxs.
Thanks Doug, glad you found the video informative.
Great video lots of information!
Just want to say thanks for the info. I know the video was done a while ago but very helpful!!!
Great video. Good points and things to consider.
Thanks for the video and your advice. I just ordered a new RZR XP 1000
Good choice! Congrats on the new toy! Stoked you enjoyed the video.
This very good info. Thank you!
Thanks Mike, glad you found the video informative.
Love all the Videos AJP 🔥💯🔥, very nice Tipps and good Production 👌👍. Greatings to all!
Thanks man!! Stoked you enjoy the videos.
Your a great person I dont think there is anything you didnt cover! Great video great information!
Thanks Micah, I appreciate that!
That’s a great overview. It gets really good at the 3/4 to end. Agree with everything here. Been riding sleds and quads for years. Thinking hard about sxs and looking at rare 800s for a cottage rider. All your points apply. 🤘 thankyou
Damn,,,great in-depth video. Awesome job
Thanks man. Glad you found it informative!!
Awesome information and presentation….thanks for sharing your knowledge
I’m glad you found the video informative. Thanks for watching.
I bought my RZR S 1000 used and it seemed to have been taken care of other than I needed to send my shocks to get rebuilt and my replace my wore out steering rack. Being it’s a 1000 the power is good but I really wish I would have bought an XP for the longer wheel base and better suspension. I got a lift and wheel spacers so I got the clearance and more width to try to help. Great video brother!
Very very good vid and awesome advice.
Thanks, glad you found it informative.
Very well done, thanks! 🤙😎
Thanks. Glad you found the video informative. I'm sure I missed a few things but hopefully I covered most of the basics.
Battle wagon lookin good
Great video!
Thanks man!! Got some more upgrades coming soon to make it look even meaner!!
Great video, I’ve been shopping for an Xp4 and as mentioned before the market is stupid. Used pricing is ridiculous. Nothing pisses me off more than people listing and showing pictures of a machine and they can’t even bother to wash or clean it. And are asking $23000.00 or more! Lots don’t even include the mileage in the add and you have to ask.
Great Video, you know your stuff, Salud!
Thanks Ryan!! Appreciate the positive feedback.
The RZR I bought this spring had 4,600km, but looked like it had never been off road. I was buying from the second owner, who only had it for a short time, so I did not really know the full maintenance history, but I took the risk based on the visual condition. I would have liked to buy new, but there was no stock this spring.
Other than visual condition, the biggest thing I was looking for was a near stock machine. People who do a lot of performance mods often ride hard.
Thanks for the video, I enjoy the channel. I was looking for a used RZR 1000 for months. The used market pricing is high due to CV-19 cabin fever. Ended up buying a new 2020 RZR S 1000 in January, came with 3 years Polaris warranty, incentive to clear out the 2020 body style with the 2021 change. We ride in the foothills of the Alberta Rockies, the machine should do well, not a lot of speed trails, lots of climbing, mud and skeg. First ride this weekend for the garage Queen. No offence if you’re a Monarchist:)
Great video
Thanks man! Stoked you enjoyed it.
Nice job!
Thanks!
This is a great video.. young man
. You have wisdom.....
Thanks Kris. I know I didn’t cover all the bases here but I’m glad you liked the video.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd these machines are a bunch of money...I've seen several people ripped off .... I'm thinking bout getting back into the sand dune scene....spendy ...now the gas is spendy too 😆
Great video but I'm gonna have to watch this video as i go view the car lol you definitely covered everything.
Then there’s people like me who will never see the desert but still need the horsepower… I live on a mountain in Nowrthwest Montana, over an hour away from the nearest “town”. I need a capable machine that will handle the rough terrain of what most would call trail riding for half the ride and still be able to handle highway driving for the other half. Of course I would only be using it for town runs when the road conditions won’t allow normal vehicle travel. I will also (most likely) have tracks for the deep snow which means I need a lot of power unless I want my trip to take 3-4 hours. Plus, there are millions of miles of trails to enjoy during the summer months. Thanks for the video!
Great vid bro Yxz turbo
If I wasn't already subbed to your channel, I would be after watching this video.
Make sure that 2020 yxz goes out with you guys in future vids. Cheers from sudbury
He'll be there man! The YXZ is a blast to watch! I'd love to do some riding out your way in Sudbury!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd you let me know if your in the area. And as far as the yxz goes I've owned two of them now and just can't get enough of them. Banging through the gears is awesome!!!
Dude you got to tell me where I can get one of them lawn furniture tubing bumpers for my Pro XP .. been scouring the interwebs and I can't find nothing in my price range.. 🤪🤣🤣.
Good video buddy, great advice you nailed it. 🤙
LOL! Bro... you can get all the materials you need at Home Depot or Lowes in the plumbing section. They sell ABS and PVC roll cage tubing and all the different bends you'd need! You can also use that stuff to make bumpers! DUH........ Oh ya, pro tip, if you put foam pipe insulation on it when you're done it makes it even stronger! The insulation takes it from strong to heavy duty...
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd 🤣🤣🤣 well of course duh why didn't I think of that 🤦♂️
If you're considering buying an XP 1000 new, you really should be looking at a xp turbo. Upgraded gearbox (geared reverse), bigger axles, bigger brakes and let's not forget all the extra power you get. For the slight increase in purchase price, the benefits outweigh the savings.
I can't argue your logic. I agree with all of that.
1000 trails and rock edition is what I would have....but my '18 Rzr is a trail beast....can not really complain.......
good info can never do to much maintenance
You got that right! If you beat on them you gotta maintain them. Glad you liked the video.
The used and indeed the new SxS market is lacking b/c of C19. Used prices are on par with new.
Can't wait for your next venture out with the gang! VLOGs are great, far better than the short vids imo.
Ya, the market is messed up right now for sure. Stoked you enjoy the extended length videos man! Got some more coming your way and now that spring is here hopefully we will have more rides in the works.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd
What is your view of the 2018 (etc) RZR 900s? No mudding or racing use, mostly use on old railroads, forest roads, woods trails etc.
Dude. Awesome video. Great information. I've had atvs for years, but I've never pulled the pin on a sxs yet. I'm still going back and forth on new or used. This video had some really good points on both types. Unfortunately, all the used stuff near me is way over priced, just as easy to buy new.
Glad you found the video informative man! I tried to cover most the bigger points. It's such a drawn out topic with so many variables it hard to really cover it all. Right now I would say it's probably better buying new in most cases. As you probably know, there is always some luck in the mix when it comes to buying used.
Gold stars!!!
🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
Thank you for sharing
Good stuff hose rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... Im very lucky that I can afford more than one. Have 2 trail one turbo and You forgot to mention the RS1 ist a lone wolf out there and I love mine
Ya, I didn't mention the RS1 and I should have. It's a beast of a machine. I love them too. I'd like to get a second unit in the future too. That way I can have a trail beast and one that's setup more for high speed stuff.
Just can’t beat a Polaris product. I’ve always had Polaris stuff and I will no doubt always get more in the future!
I have always had great luck with my Polaris machines too and they really stand behind their product which is great. I do like the other brands also but I have had 3 RZR's and will probably have more in the future.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd couldn’t agree with you more. Hoping to get a sportsman 850 in the coming months!
Would you do a video on what after market parts and companies are worth buying and ones that aren’t worth a crap? Thanks!
Hey Chris, great video idea. I can do one on that topic. I'll talk about some of my experiences.
Excellent job. Wrote two long comments but lost them both times. Sorry.
Thanks! Damn, that sucks. I hate it when that happens. I've had that happen to me a few times when I try to respond on my cell phone. Glad you enjoyed the video though.
I know from experience that a 900 with tune and clutching will hang dead nuts with a 1000 to 60. -Northern Rider Offroad-
"9000 S" lmao that's great stuff lol
Hahahahaha, ya the rare 9000S, a true beast of a machine. I was waiting for someone to notice that! I heard it when I was editing and I was like... WTF... 😂
Any thoughts on the can am trail 1000? I want to do a bit of both woods and sand. But I don’t need to go fast.
I have a lady driven xp pro ultimate, slightly used .. ummm never been rolled ( more than once at a time) . Decals have custom cut ( from rocks) and rock sliders are now part of the frame . 🤣
HAHAHAHA, your alias wouldn't happen to be "Super Greg" would it?... They don't call you that because of your super duper personality... I know that for a fact, I've met ya many times, LOL! Polaris should buy back machines you own and tear them down for R&D!!
I would also say if you can, find the sellers social media accounts, and forum accounts. Stalk those, you will see issues they will not tell you about if they have had any problems. You can really see how bad they beat on them, or make cheap janky decisions on repairs.
That is an AWESOME suggestion man! Great idea.
Great video.....what kind of tires are on that machine?
I just can't get over the prices. I just picked up a pretty beat up 2015 900s that's been built to a 1000. Paid $4000 because the mag side rod has started knocking....so needs for rebuild with crank. Prices are just insane.
Great video. Looking for my first UTV. Have my eye on a 2016 4 900 EPS with 1400miles and looks pretty stock. I noticed a lot of people put aftermarket seats in these things. Is there a reason?
Good luck finding a machine for yourself man! Take your time. Ya, the reason for aftermarket seats is how much more comfortable they are, especially on longer rides. Once you go to a quality aftermarket seat its hard to go back.
Could you do a detailed how to on how to wire up accessories?
Ya, I could do a quick video on that. I actually just installed a fuse block so I can go over it when I wire up some accessories shortly.
Awsome! Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I really like your videos. I like that in the video we can see your machine, plus other machines running. It's really boring to watch other people's videos and all you see is the trail coming at the screen lol.
Where did u get your full protection kit at I have a 2016 turbo and I can’t find them anywhere
The biggest thing I pulled away and should go for even buying a used vehicle. Get mechanical smart which is easier said then done thankfully I am but pay attention to everything not just brakes and shocks but the frame. And really look. Because nobody else is looking for you period.....
👌👌👌
Just got on super atv didn’t see full protection kit
Here’s a question i’m looking at buying a used sxs maybe next year looking to spend around $8-10k. i’ve been looking at 2009-2012 RZR 800 or 900 , 2017-2018 cfmoto zforce 800 or 2014-2015 Arctic cat wildcat 700 which one would you go with . I thinking the rzr just for after market parts availability
I wouldn't get a first gen RZR 800. I would urge you to consider a 2012+ RZR 900XP or a RZR 900S. The wildcat 700 sport is a great little machine but I feel the RZR is more solid in the long run and has much more aftermarket support. Prices should be similar. I don't know enough first hand about long term durability of the CFMOTO machines to recommend one.
9000s Damn! Now that would be a SXS
Hahahahaha, wouldn't it though!! I wish... I got a good laugh when I heard myself say that when I was editing the video.
Where did you get your body protection kit for your turbo I called super atv and they said they don’t sell them
SuperATV used to offer the full protection kit. It was discontinued like 2 or 3 years ago I believe. It was an awesome kit. I think your only real option now is to make your own or get a cage builder or fabrication shop to make you one. I'm not aware of a bolt on option.
I wanna race do trials and Cruze is that still the 1000xp
What about maverick
Tomorrow, I'm looking at a Polaris Ranger. I understand your point about the miles. But, is there a limit to how many miles/hours I should consider regardless on hownits been driven?. I'm looking at 2010 Polaris Ranger with 1200 hours and 6000 miles on. .
Hey. Good luck with the Ranger. If it’s been well serviced and maintained I wouldn’t worry about 6000miles if the price is right and everything else checks out. For a 2010 6000miles isn’t unreasonable. It’s only around 500miles a year so it seems like light use. Hard to tell without seeing it but my 2017 RZR turbo that’s in the video here has more Millage than that and it runs perfectly.
Good luck selling the old battle wagon lol Jj I bought new with the price of used lately
LOL! Ya... not lookin to sell the #BattleWagon anytime soon. It's always hard to sell a machine like mine and get your money out of it.
Is 2200 miles high for a 22 highlifter
my friend had a Polaris 1000 xp it was a 2016 it needed major clutch work all new wheel bearings and there was engine problems even when he had it checked out and tuned up it still lacked the power it had only 4000nkm on it just be warned it cost him a pile of money my Yammaha viking has 4000 k on it and runs as good as it did when it was brand new not a hater of Polaris but I do question there bud quality
As I mentioned in the video, millage is not a defining factor. The machine could have been abused. The air filter could have been on wrong, oil could have been low, etc... you never know. My RZR has 7000km of HARD use and runs like the day I got it. As far as engines are concerned Polaris makes a really bulletproof engine as long as you do routine maintenance and keep up with fluids. Sorry to hear about your buddies luck. Yamaha makes a solid engine too!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd yes that's right he did buy this machine used I just watched the rest of your video great job its good to let people know these warning signs of what to look for I prefer to buy my stuff brand new the reason mosts guys buy this is to bag on them you should have mentioned in the video if the seller is 18 walk away immediately lol
What’s your opinion on an 800s
I feel if you can get one really cheap then do it but if you can afford to spend a few more dollars then get a more updated platform, you won’t regret it. The 800 is very dated and has some well documented short comings. All depends on your budget and your expectations.
very helpful. Thanks. American Conservative University Podcast
I own a XP 1000 this thing is a money pit at 11,600 MI had to rebuild transmission while I was at it figured I may as well check the top end on the engine good thing I did valves and valve seats were shot one cam out of specs time chain stretched prior to all this drive shaft,wheel bearings,clutches primary and secondary ,went with STM, steering rack, front shocks, front a arms, ball joints. I used from day one amsoil products and changed every 500 miles never rode a lot of mud tried to stay out of water greased every other ride a fanatic on maintenance. heads up! Buy a new machine better plan on spending about 6,000 in upgrades unless ur one of those who has a machine that's got 2000 miles and is 5 yrs old I now have 16,870 with the rebuilt engine and trans, if you like ride and not work on things don't buy Polaris 😢
In all honesty all SXS’s are maintenance intensive if you ride a lot. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Polaris or a Can-Am or a Kawasaki. Some are stronger in some areas then Others but overall they all require a lot of work.
What is considered high, medium, and low milage for a sxs?
It's a tough question to answer but I'm gonna over simplify it here for you. The year of the machine also plays a large factor in this and where it is driven.
Under 1000 miles is very low for any machine
1000-3000 miles is average or medium and a lot of machines are sold around the 2000-3000 mile mark
3000-5000 miles is getting into the higher millage units and at this point youll wanna make sure wear items have been replaced or maintained
5000+ miles would be considered higher millage for most people
10,000+ miles has been seen on many rental RZR's and they still run great
It all comes down to how a machine is used and maintained. It's usually not the engines that fail on these, it's everything around them.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd awesome thanks a lot for the reply love the content by the way keep it coming.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I'm waiting for the dealer to contact me for a quote for a 2021 Polaris RZR 1000 premium
Wat bout my ranger rzr 800
What about it? Not sure what you are asking?
If someone ask them many questions about a use machine they don’t need it.
🇺🇸
9,000 s dang
LOL, yup... the infamous and rare limited edition 9000S... LOL!
Are there any bad models to avoid of the rzr 1000 xp?
As far as the RZR XP 1000 goes they were all quite good from 2014 forward. Small changes year to year and some revisions but nothing serious changed until the 2024 model. Remember that age and millage aren't always key variables in deciding on an off-road vehicle, it's all about how it's been treated. However, we don't often really know that so there is always some risk involved.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd my friend seems to be convinced that before 2018 they had issues. But the battle wagon is a 2017 isn’t it? Thank you for your reply
@@1996jared battle wagon is a 2017 RZR Turbo. The only really big improvement which happened in 2019 or 2020 on the 1000XP was they went away from a reverse chain and went to a gear driven reverse. All the other things are minor I feel. If the price is right and machine checks out good any of the 1000XP models are good units. The truth is there are certain parts you’ll change on most machines eventually like a-arms and axles, etc.
Nice machine tho
Anyone can polish a turd.
I want a rzr that can climb hills and do good in trail riding
Why would people clean the air box so much??? Duh pathway to motor internals. Body panels not.
r u looking to sale?
Everything is for sale lol
Everything is always for sale at the right price 😳
do Rzrs have chassis cracking?
Hey, not a common issue by any means. I haven't seen it unless there is serious abuse or a crash.
Or just buy a Japanese one and your good
its tough i couldnt buy a used one theyve all been beat to shit your better off to bend over for new unless ya buy the one from grandma that just used it to check the mail n feed the chickens lol
I’m sorry but the 800 is way more reliable lol
Just got my first profit of $5000 with a capital investment of $1200.....wish i knew about bitcoin trading before now
Bitcoin trading right now will be at every wise individuals list. In few minutes you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
I have $100,000... can I send it to you and then you send back my profit?
Not to be mean ...but its easy dont buy a rzr sorry
Not to be mean, but I disagree, lol.
I would Never ever buy a used Polaris ever buy one for that matter overrated garbage
Sales numbers would dictate otherwise. The people that call Polaris garbage are often the ones who don't properly maintain a vehicle. Making a statement like they are garbage without listing some valid reasons for your conclusion don't really add much value to the conversation. It would be more beneficial to tell people why you think these machines are garbage instead of making massive generalizations and blanket statements that truly hold no weight.
I wanna race do trials and Cruze is that still the 1000xp
