Have they load tested the battery? On my Xpedition, voltage is at 12.6v with the engine off and 13.8v-14.0v with it running. Mine isn’t a Northstar so it only has the stator. Northstars have an alternator, but should run roughly the same voltage. The battery might be bad and not able to run the...

The shocks on these Xpeditions have been horribly off on nitrogen pressures. I’ve done 8 or so sets of shocks, where I remove the nitrogen reservoir cap, drill them out and install Schrader valves. Previous shocks have had a self sealing rubber pellet so you could check and adjust nitrogen with...

It can be done without removing the battery, but it’s a lot easier with it out of the way.

The connector is zip tied up to the harness almost directly under the side of the console on the driver side. The easiest access would probably be through the battery box, and follow the wires down from where the seatbelt bolts to the frame.

Intermittent low voltage could be caused by poor battery connections and/or a loose ground connection to the frame. You need to remove the driver seat to get to the battery to check these. Also, there’s been at least one person who’s machine has lost the alternator pulley/belt, which could be...

https://www.polaris.com/en-us/shop/off-road/accessories/lighting/rigid/2889567/ This is the one I have on my Xpedition. There are definitely less expensive options for 50” curved light bars from other manufacturers, but if the cost isn’t an issue, this light bar is great.

Beautiful scenery there. 🥰

It’s the brackets for the 50” light bar.

On the Xpedition it’s a vinyl wrap. On the trailer it’s FRP Gelcoat.

Perfectly normal. The more humidity outside the more condensation will build up on the A/C line.

I shouldn’t say any key making place… I doubt Walmart or the like would have the blanks. But I know my local Ace hardware does and I’d assume Lowe’s , Home Depot and other hardware chains would have them. I also double checked my key against another Xpedition here in my shop and they’re...

It would be as good as not having locks if all Xpeditions were keyed the same. Depending where the key broke, any key making place should be able to copy it.

Most of adjustments in the door hinges and Striker loop is for up and down adjustments, but the bolt holes on the striker loop plate have a bit of in and out play. You could loosen them just enough to bump the striker loop back a little farther. It’s not going to give you a lot inward, but a...

By SRS, I’m assuming Schmidty Racing… https://www.schmidtyracing.com/Polaris-Xpedition-Fox-Dual-Rate-Spring-Kit-p/ut-spk-dr-pl-xpdetion.htm

Yes, I’m with HighCountry Unlimited, and we build camp trailers for SxSs. That’s (technically) what our shop does, but we’ve also taken time between building trailers to help out friends with their machines. https://highcountry-unlimited.com/ If you’d like to see more about the trailers.

I can’t say enough, how much I like these Xpeditions! The performance, the handling and the comfort these machines offer is pretty much unparalleled. Yes, they have their issues. Yes, there could be improvements. But overall, they have taken SxSs to a whole new level. I also enjoy working on...

Good to know. Considering that the light bar they are for is $1800, it’s not surprising they’re that expensive. Polaris definitely isn’t afraid of price gouging on parts only they sell. There are a lot of options out there on light bars that are just as good but for less than half the price.

The Xpedition brakes really do feel spongy. You’d think Polaris would have beefed them up for the weight the machine is rated for. If it’s bad on your 2 seater, consider how much worse on a 5 seat that’s fully loaded out, with rooftop tent and everything… Definitely let us know if the ceramic...

As far as I’m aware, you only need a license plate light if you’re licensing street legal. If you’re doing that, there’s usually a lighted mount in whatever street legal kit you might buy. The muffler cover is a heat shield. It’s insulated on the back of it to help keep people from burning...

I spent a little while searching and haven’t found anything for the 50” light bars. Because they come right to the edge of the roof, there’s some curvature to deal with. You might try contacting one of the aftermarket accessories companies like DRT or AJK Offroad and see if they might be...

This is the first time hearing of any with a bad crank. $1300 sounds really excessive for just changing a starter. I know there’s a fair amount of work to get to the thing, but Damn!

Howdy and welcome 👋

Most I’ve seen without a street legal kit mount the license plate to the muffler cover. There’s enough room between the cover and muffler that you can use short self tapping screws without touching it. I’ve always washed out the interior on my Xpedition with a pressure washer and hose with no...

Elevation will affect a lot of things on these machines. For instance, my Xpedition is clutched and tuned to run 8400-8600 rpm at the 1600 elevation where I live, but up above 6000-7000 elevation it runs around 8200 rpm. Another thing with higher elevation is lower atmospheric pressure. Being...

Howdy and welcome to the forum 👋

The Prostar II engine in the Xpeditions is fuel injected, so nothing to Re-jet. As long as the O2 and TMAP sensors are functioning properly the ECM should adjust fueling for whatever altitude. I live at 1600 ft elevation but frequently ride from here into the mountains up to around 8000 ft and...

Polaris techs are like to be required to follow service manual procedures. It’s not a bad thing, as it should ensure consistency in repairs. For the consumer, however, the manual is a guide or reference, not the law on how to maintain or repair your machine.

We’ve actually been clutching and tuning for higher rpm, and then doing full insulation. Even with the higher rpm we’re able to drop the noise level 5-7db from stock. Most of the material I use isn’t particularly expensive and some is super cheap. It was a little time consuming at first but...

It appears that all the new Xpeditions are coming from the factory with the comfort clutch weights installed. I’m on the second Xpedition straight from the dealer to my shop and both have had them. Looks like anyone wanting the performance will have to do a clutch kit. 🤷‍♂️

this is definitely a known issue. Since the Xpedition launch there’s been several in my area including a couple of my friends machines with leaking oil pan gaskets. Polaris corporate seems to be taking care of affected machines as quickly as possible and dealers are getting faster at the...

I just finished working on an Xpedition last week where the A/C hoses at the back of the cab were chafing really bad. They hadn’t rubbed through enough to leak but the spots were pretty deep. That wasn’t what the machine was in my shop for but since I saw it, I separated the hoses and put...

Couple possibilities… could be low/out of refrigerant, could be the a/c pump fuse or relay or could be the controller. I’d check fuses first, then go from there.

Gotta get me a new gram scale and then I can.

Not blowing or not blowing cold?

Looks like a great time 😊

Rpm really comes down to personal preference. Some prefer the lower rpm and don’t mind a little loss of performance in exchange for slightly less noise. For my own, and 10+ others that I’ve worked on, higher rpm and performance. Got another 2 Xpeditions in the shop right now for tunes and...

For anyone who’s curious, The weight on the left is the standard clutch weight and the one on the right is Polaris’ Comfort Clutch weight. Everything else with the clutch is the same

Just for a PSA, running a constant rpm for long periods will cause premature wear to the clutches. Usually it will wear a groove in the sheaves, and in one case, I’ve seen it wear notches in the clutch weights. Stock, the Xpedition motor is governed around 7800 rpm. Most ECM tunes will open it...

Great advice! Had to add shims to my secondary early on. A little bit of maintenance here and there can save on bigger repairs later.

Awesome pics!

Depending on where in Southern California, we have people running down to LA and San Diego areas a couple times a week. If you’re near their routes and could meet them, there’d be no shipping cost.

Everything I can see is crazy expensive to ship that far. 🫤

Mesquite, Nevada $600 per set, plus shipping. With or without wheels. Basically giving away the wheels free with the tires if someone wants them
