SDI has been doing their testing with 35s I believe. With Trail Hero Expeditions heading out next week, we’ll get a good bit of testing in over the 5 days it runs for, so we’ll have a better feel for them after that. Also, while he’s only running 32s, he’ll be towing a 1500-1600 pound camp...

32” tires

Finally got hold of the SDI Big Brake Kit and got it installed. Unlike the TPR kit, this one is just replacement rotors and caliper brackets. Installation is the same process as simply changing brake pads. The SDI Rotors are a 2 piece setup and around 20mm larger than the OEM rotors. They’re...

Wish we were but it overlaps Trail Hero Expeditions. 🙁

Dunno what causes this issue, but seems to be a consistent fix.

I’d try the Tribotex with the lighter weight first, give it 500+ miles, and see how it does.

The late ‘24s and ’25s had a slew of oil pan leaks. They don’t have an oil pan gasket, just sealant. So mating surfaces aren’t critical, but assembly has to be much more diligent. The later ‘25s have had several crank seal issues as well, though not as many as had the oil pan leaks. I’m...

Howdy and welcome to the Forum. 👋 We’re in southern Nevada with a lot of riding in northern Arizona and southern Utah 😊

We’ve had that happen on a 2019 Ranger 1000 and a 2024 Ranger 1500. On the Ranger 1500 AA told us to plug in an Xpedition ECU and just turn it on long enough to boot up. Not start it, then put the original ECU back. That brought the fuel gauge back on the Ranger 1500. Haven’t tried it on the...

Last time I used a 20w50 race oil. I’m dropping it down to a 10w40 on this next service and seeing how much the Tribotex helped.

It started around 1500 miles.

It’s a nanoparticle ceramic treatment that can fill in minor imperfections in the cylinders and other metal parts. It won’t fix major issues, but it can help if you catch the problem early enough. Tribotex Small Engine Treatment

Polaris motors have generally had quite a bit of blow-by. It can be exacerbated by running constant high rpms, 8000+. Also, despite the high air intake, the Xpeditions tend to suсk a lot of dust into the filter. As the filter gets more restricted, it creates higher vacuum on the air intake and...
