Absolutely love my 2020 xp 1000s ! One hell of a machine man! Just hitting 100 miles had it 2 weeks! Love it sickest atv ever!
Yeah we're testing one now for ATVonDemand.. It's pretty sick
Great stuff lads. Nice to see somthing new in the ATV market I agree.
Thanks EH!!! They have some upside for sure, but I think most of us are scratchin our heads a little bit.
First off, I’m glad I was as helpful as I was in this informative vid! Secondly, that thing looks unbelievable shined up!!!! Your points were spot on bud
Thank you, my eternal partner in crime, flatulence, and useless ATV knowledge! Hope the truck job went well!
Bullseye, I couldn’t agree with you more across the board. My dealer was worried I would want the Sportsman S,, before I purchased the Outlander Max. Mutual gripes with Polaris, and I’m riding slower and don’t need the width on our trails. Chad for a fast rider like you that suspension and stability has to have you thinking, but you can still catch a tire in mud or something and go over the bars...I did last week. You do a great job on comparison videos. Thank you 😊
Dang Marauder! I hope you're ok!! I'd really have to give one a good once over before I jumped into one of these.. I could see liking the 55", just don't know yet...
Great video! Super informative. You guys need to do more.
Thanks for checking us out!
Good vid... I thought the price was out of bounds 10 years ago, shows what I know. They are double and some triple of that now and still selling like crazy. 🤷♂️
The price is ridiculous no doubt! Cost as much as my wife's new car.. Soooooo, if I were to get one.. I could never tell her that..
Awesome video as usual! Always entertaining! Now I forgot what I was going to say.?. LOL Polaris has never been afraid to push the envelope like this. I like the upgrades. I agree with you, folks would probably like to have those on the base models as well. Time will tell if the 55“ will be a hit or a mess. The lake backdrop was so soothing! Nice!!!
Thanks KC!!! We had so much fun at Land Between the Lakes we made the 3hr trip twice in two weeks!
Land between the lakes?. Is that a trail system?
@@kcatv9556 It's actually Turkey Bay OHV in Land Between the Lakes National National Forest.. It's not that big but we've just needed a change of scenery from our usual hang outs...
Hey that was one t'riffic review I'm glad to see you guys really know what the hell you're talking about and that helps me out because I'm looking at buying one of these new s jobs at 55 inch wide so thank you very much.
Thanks! We just did a 4 video series on the Scrambler S for ATVONDEMAND comparing it to a variety of other machines if you're interested...
You had that Sportsman looking so clean I thought it was one of the new ones for like five seconds hahaha! Lots of great points. But for 15k I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Time will tell I guess. Great vid!!!!
Thanks Lando!!! Heck yeah, I had er as clean as she ever gets right ther....
I bet the 55" would be great here in Southern WV honestly. But then again, I'm more like the TFL guy when it comes to wheelers so don't listen to me. lol. The upgraded diff and steering sounds promising though. Good vid guys! Stay Golden Brian
😄😄
Great video. I totally agree with your comments about wishing Polaris made the lower models tougher as well with better components.
Yeah, I definitely wish they beefed up the base model. They made some weird moves this year that seems like they're pushing people towards the S model whether they like it or not.. Have you seen the new Dirt Trax episode? They did that Newfoundland trip..
@@DirtObseXXion No I haven't seen it. I'll go look it up.
The trail riding the 55" stance is probably nice! put for a mud machine it wouldn't be any good. Great video guys! 👌
Thanks Mark! I'm sure we'll see them modded for mud soon but I agree probably not a great mud set up.. The exhaust and CVT exhaust aren't in great spots for mud riding..
This was well done, great points boys. I fixed my steering by drilling through the steering column and adding a set screw and red lock tight, held up solid for now. My rad has been relocated so it was easy to get too, just removed the front grill. Keep these coming.
Thanks Scott! Where did you drill through the steering column? Upper stem or lower? I think there is two weak points.. One at the bearing just under the bars and then the lower steering stem where the tie-rods connect...
Lower stem, put the set screw through the lower part and set it into the shaft going in from above, super easy
@@scottmcclenaghan3236 Awesome! I may have to try that..
scott might i bother you for a picture of your fix ?
Hey D.O. If I put together a short steering fix vid, can you guys post it?
I am buying the S model. Will make the perfect hunting and trail riding machine for me.
Awesome! We've been testing out the Scrambler S for ATVonDemand.. Lots of recent content on that channel on that machine if you're interested
Can’t wait to buy them
Me too!
Great video I’m definitely in the market for another unit I’m kinda between the 1K ranger or a Rzr S1000 and then there is the new 55in sportsman so damn Polaris makes it hard to choose but I need room for some extra folks so side by side be better for now but I’m like you I would definitely like to get a seat time on one of these new monsters. Great vid Chad and Brian
Thanks AJ!!! Brian had the S1000, it was a great machine!
Dirt ObseXXion sweet I’ve drove the 900s it was bad ass but them rangers are sweet too thinking I could make a lifted machine for the family and give the 850 to Tristan
Well said like always. Love your videos. I own a older Polaris (2006) sportsman 500ho. And I am looking to buy a new one. I never had any real issues with mine. And it has “been riden hard and put away wet” I ride like I stole it. So Polaris reliability is not an issue with me. So I will go new Polaris again. But everything you just said makes me confused on what one I want. Thanks for all your videos. Please keep them coming.
We're testing the Scrambler S for ATVonDemand right now and I can tell you it's much more impressive than I thought!
Dirt ObseXXion I like the sport utility style. The only thing is. not to sure of the width of it. Some times we have to go around a down tree and to get it through the bush maybe difficult. I know sometimes it is with my 48 inch.
Good job on body position during the video. And more horsepower is always better. Ive been able to bog our scrambler 1000 in sand jumping up into a hill so more power would me nice. I understand how some people arent able to use all of the power but for those you can would love more power! And I do like the idea of those walkers on the standard sportsman!
Thanks B!!! Yeah, I understand that.. But that's got to be an aftermarket game I guess...
Great video. It's a pretty wicked machine but, it's too wide for the trail system in Michigan. It would be fun in the sand dunes, but it's a trail machine.
Yeah its unique that's for sure.. I personally would like to see any manufacturer come out with a reasonably priced sport quad to compete with Yamaha.. This thing is competing with SXSs and ATVs shouldn't have to do that.. But it is cool..
@@DirtObseXXion Polaris did have a decent machine with the predator. If I'm correct and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they sourced the engine and drivetrain from KTM. Regardless, my brother had one and at the time, competed with the 400ex and ltr400. It was a nice alternative at the time.
@@josephdenver1612 I know The Outlaw had the 525 KTM motor, I'm not sure if the Predator did too... The KTMs were awesome too but super pricey..
I thing the new machine will be a win.. great video boys
Thanks brother! Hope all is well my friend!
Now after 2 S, Scrambler and now on a 2023 Sportsman S i should say S all day of the week. :) Hard going back..
As a fellow rider looking to upgrade out of my Honda 500 class diapers, gotta say ur vids have been really helping me in my decisions between the main 1000cc quads, loving the real reviews from you guys, keep em coming!
Great to hear! We're about to kick off a series for ATVonDemand doing some real world tests on the Scrambler S vs some of our machines..Let us know what you end up going with!!
I totally agree with you , the standard sportsman should get the upgrades also !
Yeah kinda BS that they didn't... Plus now you have to upgrade to the trail package to get the arched a-arms..
I would love a 55in wide but most of our trails in N. Idaho are 50in limited so for now I'll stick with my 850sp
Yeah I think that's going to be the case for a lot of people.. I'd really have to ride the S to know if I liked the 55".. I'd have never guessed that the width was going to be the change that Polaris made.. I was hoping they were doing something to the Scrambler..
@@DirtObseXXion I agree, the scrambler seems to be more intended for the sand where width is not an issue and while most "gates" are around 55 inches so I could sneak around them, I'm not sure that it's worth the effort.
Good info, and great points. Like you said though, no one was asking for this...lol why not solidify the lineup you already have with needed improvements before creating a new segment. Not being able to load it into a truck is a nail in the coffin for most id think. But keep innovating polaris!
Yep! I'm less concerned with the truck thing than the 15k price tag... They need to bring the Predator or Outlaw back!
Yup.....reverse chains on older Rzr 100's.....Turbo first to go with reverse "gearing"....all have gears now......
I live in southeast Louisiana and we dont have restrictions on the width of our machines on trails here.
Right on! We don't on all of them, mostly government land that has restrictions.. Thanks for checking out the video!
Polaris didn’t replace the premium model with the s model but instead they added a trail package with is pretty much just a premium model.
Well.. Kinda. The premium use to have different color schemes as well, the trail package is just accessorisizing a base model but it's more expensive now because you don't get the brush guard and a few other things that the premium used to have.. So I guess what I meant was, the S replaced the Premium edition at the top of the lineup..
Hey guys!
Really like your content!
Knowing you've ridden both, hope you're the right guy to answer me this but would you say the XP is faster than the 1000 S on the 0-60 launch or the 1000 S is despite the 55" stance and extra weight? And top speed?
Aside from that, I find it kinda funny that the S version of the 1000 has 89hp where the XP got 90hp...
The difference in HP is because of the exhaust set up and the difference in launch speed is due to weight with the XP being lighter.. Deciding between the two based on those factors alone is a mistake because the 1000cc CanAms are faster than both but limited at 77mph as opposed to 81 on the Polaris. Stupid speeds on a 4wheeler.. The S is far more capable in really tough terrain and therefore faster on trails
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks for taking the time to get back man.
No not at all, I kinda knew the XP would be faster off the line but I'd still consider the S model as the 55" stance, trail capabilities and performance sets up apart. It's in a league of its own as there's nothing in the market that would even compare.
And I'd only assume the difference in acceleration between the XL and S is marginal anyways so S it is without a doubt.
Thanks again!
@@kevinblitzcki2709 We had a Scrambler S for about a year and it was definitely pretty incredible. Probably not going to be the most reliable machine out there, but like you said... Nothing else really compares.
@@DirtObseXXion I would not even look at the Scrambler knowing there's a 1000 S.
Are you associating poor reliability with the 1000 S or Scrambler? Either or I'm really curious to know why if you don't mind sharing your insights on that.
Quite honestly I think you're the most knowledgeable guy out there when it comes to these 2 models :O
@Kevin Blitzcki We had the Scrambler S, basically the same thing as the Sportsman S with less plastic and better suspension.. With reliability I mean all of them, we had 2 Sportsman XP1000, they were fun but they'll give you all kinds of problems after a year or 2.. I think the S models are better in some way (for the reliability) but the one we had started loosening up
I would like to see a smaller shifting lever higher up on the body like other brands. Yes, I know that involves adding linkage but I'm ok with that.
I can definitely agree with that!
Awesome comparison. You were saying there is no premium edition now, but I feel like the trail package takes over that. For 1300 canadian, you get winch, LED lights, arch A arms, premium seat, premium tires, and painted springs. The best part, also available for the 850. In 2019, to get the seat and tires you had to look at the 1000. Agree on the S though, not necessary for my trails.
You're right it does, minus the premium color... So it's a base model with the add ons.. I'm not sure if you get the dual zone seat either... Maybe???
@@DirtObseXXion as far as I can see the seat is the dual zone. Plus that 1000 premium blue is now on the 850 trail. I'm getting a trail this winter. 850 or 1000 not sure yet.
@@DirtRoadRemedy Oh very cool!
Ummm. Well that is an easy one to answer 💁🏻♂️. The 1000s is definitely the way to go! Though a little teaser...I know this guy who knows a guy that also knows another guy. He may or may not be getting a Scrambler 1000s as soon as one becomes available to him...guess we will have to see 😎.
Another great and comical video as always man. Agree with the clutch exhaust...was my biggest issue when I first got my Sportsman. Extra 100 pounds definitely isn’t something to be concerned about when it flips over on you...hell a 600 pound machine isn’t a treat either 😂. Been there 🙋🏻♂️. I’m after the diff upgrade more than anything.
Yep! Diff and steering! It's not as easy for us, I think you lose some ability on narrower trails for sure.. I'd go scrambler too though!
Dirt ObseXXion I figure I’m already “accustomed” to the width with mine measuring in at 54’’ so it won’t effect me much. Not until I was down south did I actually find my width was going against me. As I’m watching this again. Lol. The steering upgrade is another big seller to me! I will see if that guy will do a video for you and a comparison can be done 😉
North Country Boyz I agree anything that flips over on is not fun. But definitely looking forward to testing one of these out
@@ajjacobs1338 Was pinned under my Sportsman 500 for a solid 20 minutes with my ex...20 minutes felt like 20 hours. luckily the trees took some of the weight from the machine being on us and I took the rest off her and she could move but just not enough to get out. No one knew we went off the trail and by sheer luck someone happened to stop for a brief second on a quieter machine that could hear us yelling to them.
If all goes as planned the guy I know should have the 1000S Scrambler by Spring 😜
North Country Boyz good god brother that’s crazy 20 min with your EX lol wow I’m sure it did fell like forever. I’m not going to lie to you this shit crosses my mind a lot especially when I’m by myself so I do try to Be safe as possible but accidents happen for no reason sometimes but that’s crazy bro by your self or with someone the shit is scary
Alright Flyin Brian got me convinced with all that nodding there in the background. I feel the way you fellas like to rip it up the extra width would feel pretty nice. Maybe keep y’all planted to the ground a bit more.
I doubt it! HAHAHHA! Flyin Brian was my hype man on this one... Makes us look tougher...
Before every shot I was like, “dude u sure u want me to be standing here”
@@flyingbriando5521 And I was like HECK YEAH! Friggen arm candy!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't agree more on owning less powered machines and left wanting more in real life riding situations AND moving over to Polaris away from the Japanese manufacturers to sacrifice reliably and durability for performance. Absolutely new front differential is key-the front differential on my Kodiak 450 was beefier than my Sportsman 850!
You've been given er the beans to!! I can tell you're loving the upgrade, even though it means more garage time.. 👍
Dirt ObseXXion you know it! I think a big thing is knowing the maintenance required and getting it done to hopefully prevent issue when riding
@@ADVENTURESThisWay Yeah for sure! Keep an eye on those bushings, mine didn't last very long. I'm pretty happy with the DKOFFROAD set so far... I put a Ricochet skid plate on not too long ago too... Really happy with that...
50" sure, 55" is too wide here in canada, But yeah people south will have tons of fun with those, again im very happy that they didnt change the base model lol, still paying my 2018 :P
HAHAHA! Still paying my '18 too!
The video I wanted.
Awesome! Thanks for checking us out!
Big government states?! Doesn't KY have like 8 ATV areas to ride?? Some of those "big-government states" you claim have dozens of trails...many of which they keep restricted to 50-inch machines. Personally, I think the 55-inch width is a big deal, and they should have left that to the Side by Side market...or at least created two separate models (50 inch and 55 inch).
Good stuff though brother. Great coverage and discussion of the machines. I have one coming out this Thursday that hits on a few of the same discussion points, but I think my final point will surprise a few.
oh p.s., you totally nailed that intro ;) haha.
Haha!!! Hey Chris! Don't open the pandora box of government discussion with me brother! I only meant that in a "we dont register all property kinda way".. loved your Sportsman vid! The different perspectives and conversations are exactly what we need to be doing right now! KY has plenty of places to ride, but the best part about our area is the proximity to TN and WV 🤔👍😁😁🤣🤣🤣
That rock looks like Land Between the Lakes here in Kentucky. Am I right??? I used to burn that place up on a 400EX
HECK YEAH BROTHER!!!! We're outta the Leitchfield area!!
Biggest problem with the new width I see is the atv trails around me, you are limited to 48 inches or less. And dnr don’t play.
15 grand is a steep price tag, heck I thought long and hard about spending the 10 grand on mine just last month.
Can't argue with that.. That's why I wish the base model got some upgrades..
can we do after market exhaust that has the growl of the renegade1000
Hmf, mbrp, and rjwc all make one for it
I noticed you said you run Polaris and how has that been? Just curious and good review
Run Polaris? Other than having had a couple Sportsmans i have no affiliation with them... I still have the XP 1000 but it's on loan to ATVonDemand for a build project. We've been riding the sport machines while the weathers been nice.
@@DirtObseXXion just meaning you rode regularly wasn't considering any affiliation at all. Just curious how you like. Thx for the response
@@04tsxpower Oh yeah, I've had the Xp1000 for two years.. It's been pretty good.. It has it's quirks as they all do, had the clutch seize up early on, the steering loosened up pretty bad after awhile, and it's had new bushings, ball joints, diff seals, and those kinda things.. But it's all relative to what you want. I thinks it been a good machine for the amount of abuse I've put it through.. I had a Grizzly before the Sportsman and could see getting a Grizzly again.. There is something to be said for a lighter nimbler machine..
@@DirtObseXXion ya Yamaha makes a very nice machine. Thx for info I was curious
@@04tsxpower no problem!
It is surprising that the base models didn't get some of the additions of the xp s, if for no other reason than to simplify their parts bins. I imagine it'll trickle down next year.
I hope so, but I'm afraid part of their marketing technique is to make the base XP 1000 over priced and not updated to it drives consumers to the S.. They dropped the arched a-arms, the premium edition, and kept it the same price...
@@DirtObseXXion I didn't realize that they had dropped the arched a arms. That seems weird to me.
@@ROCKINRODNEY me too, don't make any sense!
Looking to purchase a quad in the next couple of months. Was originally thinking a sportsman 850 or king quad 750. After a lot of research now I’m interested in an XP 1000 S for the beefed up components it gets and the overall build quality vs the standard sportsman. The S and KQ are obviously completely different machines but that’s the two I’ve got in down to.
What are your thoughts on the likely reliability of the S? Seems like most of the components that typically wear out faster have been addressed. Would you agree? I wouldn’t use the full capabilities of the S except for the width it offers on rough SXS trails here. I like it for that, the looks and smooth ride. Also the 2” receiver and extra towing capacity.
Im in TX so trails here are privately owned and SXS rule here. The width of the S shouldn’t be an issue and I already own a trailer. I’ll use it for trail, hunting, a little light work and playing around the ranch.
KQ’s here are going for MSRP plus $1k in freight so I’d be looking at an EPS version with steel wheels for $11k, no bumpers, winch, etc.
Or the S ready to go with everything and I can get one for $14k OTD with my ag exemption and $1k rebate from Polaris. Thoughts?
We tested a Scrambler S for about a year for ATVonDemand last year.. The S models are certainly impressive but I don't know that all issues have been addressed.. Polaris machines just tend to loosen up overtime more so than other machines.. The S will make SXS trails easier, that's definitely the biggest advantage but that does mean two things; 1. You're gonna run it harder in worst terrain and not even realize it will cause more wear on disposable components, and 2. Because it's bigger your line selection changes. Sometimes that's good, you deal with deeper ruts, and sometimes it sucks Because you can't center ruts or other obstacles you used to be able too.. I personally like a big single like in the KQ for a 4x4 ATV.. It makes them a little lighter and more agile.. The S models are wider and longer so they lose quite a bit of maneuverability which is one of the significant benefits of ATVs over SXSs.. The S models are like SXSs with handlebars... If that sounds good to you, go for it.. I'd personally go with the KQ though. I don't think long term reliability of the S would be even close to the KQ.. That's just a guess though, they haven't been around long enough to truly know..
@@DirtObseXXion Thanks for your feedback. I did watch your series on ATV on demand. I follow both channels and always look forward to what y’all are gonna do next. I love the humor and fun of this one, it’s great. Can’t believe y’all don’t have a lot more subscribers but you will.
I’ve gone down serval rabbit holes looking in depth at different brands and models. Grizzly, Can-am, Polaris, Honda(good quality but no thanks) and Suzuki.
Don’t mind wrenching some and I get you can’t have all the fun with the reliability of a 28 HP machine. Just trying to figure out which one I’ll have fun with and not a money pit I regret purchasing.
Thanks again man.
@@jsnokhous No problem brother! I can guarantee that if you get the S it'll be the best ATV you ever rode, at least for the first 6-8 months.. Thanks for the kind words!
@@DirtObseXXion why only first 6-8 months. I’m really stuck on getting a 1000xp vs 1000s
@@hikuntrylml5999 Because that's about how long you have with a Polaris before it starts to fall apart... We have not had luck with several xp1000 (s)..
Polaris sportsman xp 1000 S is is cool and I love polaris anyway but I would be so happy if a could test a sportsman xp 1000 S I have tried a 570 but I think 2020 sportsman will be amazing
Oh man, the XP 1000 is night and day difference from the 570.. My uncle has a 2018 570... Great machine for a great value.. But the 850 and 1000 models are just incredible..
I can believe that
So only the hot rod 1000 model got the updated reliability components?
Yes
@@DirtObseXXion but of course. No way they’d do it for other models. You must spend 15k to have reliability .
is the old chassis going to be done away with totally in favour of the 55 inch ?
No I don't think so.. They still have the xp 1000 and the 850.. They changed the available options in order push people who were on the fence towards the 55inch versions but I'd guess that they're going to keep the Sportsman 850 and 1000.. The Scrambler xp 1000 is already gone..
I doubt it, there are some states that have 50" trail restrictions.
This leads me to some of my biggest issues with Polaris. When they have a model ATV or side-by-side that the market has an issue with they don't correct that issue. They come out with a whole new vehicle the next year with upgrades that are beyond that issue. So not only do they get out of fixing the issue they're asking people to go out and buy all new machines as well at an even higher premium then they paid for their last machine.
That's EXACTLY right, with very few exceptions.. They know they have issues, especially if they fix the steering, front diff, and sealed the bushings.. It's like an admission of guilt, but they haven't fixed the issue with the base model..
@@DirtObseXXion god forbid they didn't put out a bike who's tires didnt fall off after the first 6 months.
@@JackG79 Yep... I still think the Sportsman 1k has a lot of upside.. But damn I get a good amount of garage time too...

Not with the LT suspension
@@DirtObseXXion I see, thanks!
Great video guys, Chad I thought SXS where out pricing the blue collar consumer looks like ATVS are heading that way also.
That's absolutely true! I've had a bunch of guys ask me why I didn't just get a SXS with the price I paid for the XP 1000.. Some people just don't understand the love of riding an ATV..
Dirt ObseXXion atv is like a motorcycle and skidoo and utv is boring like a car lol
Great Fuxn Video as always!!!!!
Thanks Lee!!!
The Base model XP1000 no longer has arched lower A arms. You’ll have to get one with the factory installed trail package, comes with the 3500 lb winch, LED headlights, 27 inch Duro Powergrip V2s & Arched lower A arms. For a cool $1000 extra.
So it’s basically my 4wheeler after I hit the tree.
Well that's stupid too.. Just trying to push people towards the S.. I don't know about you, but I go to the dealership hoping they have what I want and that I can get it below MSRP.. That's a lot harder if you order it..
I concur, it’s like Polaris took a step forward with the S & 2 steps back with the base model. The arched A arms was a huge selling point for the base model.
@@petroleum-dynamite Yes it was!!! They're purposefully driving people towards the S
I’m totally ok with more factory package options, they could have lowered the price of the base model when they took away the arched arms. You’re totally correct about them trying to push people towards the S model.
I can’t wait to see CZcams Videos of the RJWC exhaust coming out the middle of the Sportsmans & Scramblers. Those wheelers are almost mud ready & I can say the extra suspension travel would be great for some of the trails I ride in Taylor Park because they’re super rocky, so rocky they define The Rocky Mountains. Anyway, I’m babbling now so I’m gonna go try out this new video editing software & see if I can add commentary to my next video.
Imagine if they made the wide body style on the 570 or 850 😎👌
They could easily do it with the 850.. I think the 570 would be down too much on power
@@DirtObseXXion true probably just the 850, Would make it more affordable.
Dang what is that sound at 7:15? Hella giant bug
Is there ride co command on polaris sportsman 1000 s 2022
No, only on the ride command edition on the 570 and xp1000
Polaris will realize there mistake and offer more available choices in the 48" wide machines again in 2021, we all hope!
I hope they keep the S too.. We've been testing one for ATVonDemand and it's pretty impressive in ways I wasn't expecting.
S is the sporty model of the sportmans 1000xp
Well kinda, it's the 55" platform.. We're doing a series on @ATVonDemand right now on the Scrambler S.. You should check out the first episode from last Monday!
so what was the actual easy way to fix that godamn loose steering bro ?
Loosen that pinch bolt all the way, drop some lock-tight in there, let it sit for a day (make sure steering is straight as it sets) then tighten the pinch bolt after 24hrs. Pinch bolt is 10mm.. On the head side, wedge a wrench on the bolt (i wedged a screw driver on top of the wrench so it wouldn't move). It's easiest if you go ahead and take the mud guard off the left front side. The other side just takes some contortion to get to.. If your steering isn't too bad, that'll fix it right up.. At this point my lower steering post needs to be replaced... I have it recorded, I'll upload it if you think it's worth seeing..
mines about 500km in , new 850 sp 19 and honestly the slack is driving me nuts . with that and the already twitchy eps at 60km/h i feel like im steering in sand on hard trails
thanks man ill give that a try 🤟🏻
@@alexandrest-cyr5747 Right on man, hope it works out for you... Be careful with the pinch bolt... It's kinda week, heard a few guys broke theirs..
@@alexandrest-cyr5747 Check Scott's comment, he had the same issue and used a set screw into the stem... That's a really good idea too..

The S is more of a "Fun" side atv you have just becouse..:)
But it´s a few upgrades they made on S that polaris easy could imp on standard 1000 tho..:)
I agree 100%, steering, front diff, and shocks would be awesome on the standard model!

All joking aside, good video. You did a really nice job covering all the points, despite the fact you did some of it in a peach tank top borrowed from a female relatives middle drawer - LMAO! (again, just joking about the feminine looking tank top. You make it look very manly - LOL)
Q... I think your just encouraging the weird right now! It can get worse for sure! HAHAHAHA! Thanks for checkin the vid out tho!

HAHAHAHA! Right on buddy! Get yer weird on bro!
weird would be another guy setting on you're back with his pants pulled down now where have I seen that before lol
That seems legit to me..
@@DirtObseXXion hahaha
I have a 2018 sportsman 850 bell crank is all stripped this is totally unacceptable. I am ready to trade it in for a grizzly. Thank god I bought the extended warranty
That sucks man, I hate to hear that.. I've had a Grizz.. Solid machine!
I had one as well I know I won’t have any stupid problems like this mine was a 2007
Review without the S model...?
Obviously it wasn't a review.. It was a comparison of what Polaris got right with the new S models vs whats good and what needs improvement on the XP 1000. I strongly recommend ATVonDemand for an actual review if you haven't seen it already. They have the raw video on the Sportsman and Scrambler S up now too.. This channel isn't legitimate media, so your only going to get personal opinion and ride vids here... Sorry if the title was deceiving.. I try not to be deceptive..
Dirt ObseXXion buddy are you feeling good today?
@@lakkchina ummmmm yea?
you're breathing has gotten better big guy you quit smoking or something
Cut back on the cigars and playing basketball 2-3x a week :)
@@DirtObseXXion good job man I quit sodapop an eating after 7 about 45 days ago.
Nice! I could stand to drop a few for sure... But being fat is kind of our charm! LOL!
My secret to not breathing hard was to not talk...nailed it!
only thing Polaris did was shake off people wallet breaking down every 3 rides
TMI
Never!
