I 100% agree that it was about maximizing profit, but no OEM completely loads out any machine. The top end of every SxS line has tons of add-on options are over and above the initial price of the machine. I mean, the Ranger XP 1000s and XD 1500s come with a winch remote, but it’s an upgrade...

The warranty issue will depend on your dealer. Ours sells and installs Clutch Kits and Tunes but still has an excellent track record of approval on warranty claims. The majority of the ones I know about were clutched, tuned, oversized tires and all sorts of other mods.

We use Aftermarket Assassins on the clutch kits. The high load helix and Buttershift washers on the secondary and the billet cover plate on the primary. The billet cover plate has tabs that help keep the towers from spreading under load and also act as an impeller, increasing air flow for belt...

It’s the ‘24 year model Xpedition that has the front camera included. Both Northstar and Ultimate. They stopped putting them in the ‘25+. Granted, you can’t even get a ‘26 Xpedition Ultimate, but still. Even the Ranger XD 1500 doesn’t include the front camera, although it’s also wired for it...

Perfect combination! 👍🏻

The Xpedition motor, the Prostar II, comes from the RZR XP 1000. The sluggishness comes from lowered gearing for the weight of the Xpedition, the weight itself, and the Comfort Clutch “fix” that Polaris did to try to appease customers that feel it’s too loud. Having gotten one of the first...

While we’re eagerly awaiting the Big Brake Kit from TPR, here’s something for the ADVs that’s definitely worth looking into. TPR022 - Remote Oil Fill Kit - Xpedition One of the most annoying things, when servicing an ADV, is needing to unload the bed to fill the oil. TPR has the solution...

Howdy and welcome to the Forum. 👋 And congrats on the new machine! My XP5 Ultimate was the second Xpedition my dealer got in after their release, and it’s still going strong. For being a first year machine, the bugs were fairly minimal. The only big issues it had still haven’t been fixed on the...

Berk’s Attachments makes a plug and play intermittent wiper add-on that’s very easy to install and use. They even send it with the appropriate size drill bits and a drill template.

Howdy and welcome to the Forum! Congrats on the new machine!

Belts can make a huge difference as well. The OEM Polaris belts have a sticky compound that helps them grab better, but usually gives a choppy engagement. Ultimax belts will drop the rpms 200-300 from whatever the clutch was tuned at with any other belt. Hunterworks belts are a decent...

Gotta give the buggy its vitamins 😁

I started out with the full Gilomen clutch kit and ECU tune. I’m still running their ECU tune, but have switched all the clutch kit components over to aftermarket assassins. Basically, I was having trouble getting my rpms dialed in where I wanted them. Also my machine is always loaded up very...

Getting setup.

Agreed. And they definitely met those expectations. The design is a work of art! And the quality excellent! The design gives strengthening plates where it matters, but in such a way that it looks great. HCR is still a top tier product, but now there’s real competition. HCR is more boxy and...
