I’ve done the Slingshot master cylinder swap on both my and my brothers Xpeditions. While the pedal feels better, it doesn’t feel like it’s stopping the machine any better. To do this swap, it’s around $190 in parts and about 30-45 minutes to install. But talking with Greg from TRP, they...

If they were to offer a factory turbo option, or an Xpedition 1500 I’d 100% go for it. As to Dynamix, SDI E-Cliks are a better option and far more customizable for weight and riding style. Long travel… it’d depend on the price increase. HCR and JRI are a lot stronger than factory suspensions...

Are they brand new, never installed?

A fun little overnighter up on Flat top Mesa!

I don’t know that there’s a particular “best” brand on those. They’re just a chunk of billet aluminum, milled to size. They’ll pretty much all be the same mechanically speaking.

I’m assuming you mean wheel spacers?when I first got my Xpedition in 2023 I installed spacer adapters to use the wheels from my General. They were a 4/3 offset, and at the time I couldn’t find 5 lug UTV wheels. I’ve since replaced the wheels with 3.5/3.5 offset Packard Performance wheels. The...

Oh yeah! Even a bad day at the dunes beats a good day at work 😂 The first day something was off and my Xpedition struggled in the bowls. But on the second day, I’d pulled a little weight out of my clutch for higher rpm, and it ripped. My preference is definitely trail riding and exploring...

I like the pod mount. The Northstars in particular are space challenged for adding accessories like the temp gauge

Everything for the Xpedition is pricy, starting with the Xpedition itself. 🤣 But for what goes into making that particular add-on, the price seems reasonable.

Agreed. I was thinking about how to do something like that, and then it popped up in my instagram feed.

Someone finally got the memo… Geoser Performance has a shift lever boot, specifically for the Xpedition. Geiser Performance Polaris Xpedition Shift Boot - Jagged X Offroad

It’s not very difficult at all. Only place you might need a helper is bleeding the brakes, if you don’t have a vacuum bleeder. I’d also recommend replacing the banjo washers on the brake lines as y swap them over. The originals tend to tear the rubber parts.

Also, for smoother engagement, we’ve found the GBoost RS belts have the smoothest starts of any belts we’ve tried. Polaris belts use a little stickier compounds so they grab a little harder, especially when they’re warmed up.

The XTC kit is auto cancelling as well. The column switch is momentary and doesn’t lock into direction. If you just bump it in the direction it blinks 5 times. You can hold it a little longer and it’ll blink longer. Or hold it 3+ seconds and it’ll blink until you cancel it.

The cracked slider plates are popping up a lot more often. We’ve had 2 machines with that problem in as many months, so we’ve asked our local dealers to start stocking up on them. Your Xpedition is the 3rd I’ve heard of with the popping out of gear issue. The first was one of our friends’ ‘24...
