This is the kit I put on my Xpedition. While it can be weighted up to get the lower rpm it has the secondary clutch components for the higher rpm and performance.
Riding like that I wouldn’t bother with a tune. These machines are designed for high rpm tho so if you’d like it lower/quieter the clutch kit would be recommended with a cruiser setup. That’s basically the only reasonable way to bring the rpm down. The unreasonable way would be to re-gear the...
Haven’t had the chance to go out with a large group of our friends yet but no communication issues with the ones I have ridden with so far. As stated previously, I had it the same on my old General, just through the plastic roof with no ground wire. There was only 2 other machines that could...
My brother and I have both done ECU tunes and clutch kits. His has the Aftermarket Assassins set and mine the Gilomen set. There are only minor differences in the clutch kits and tunes but performance wise I can’t tell any difference. Aftermarket Assassins offers a billet primary clutch cover...
You’d have to speak with Gilomen, Aftermarket Assassins or Bikeman about the tune. I do know they can work with the fuel and timing maps and could probably get a better tune for low rpm, but the current tunes focus more towards higher rpm.
I’m also not sure how exactly elevation changes the...
That’s normal operations for a cvt. When you throttle up it essentially gears down for increased torque, even though the relative speed may not increase much. The motor in the Xpedition is the same one used in the RZR XP 1000 and as such is designed for high rpm. Using a “Cruiser” clutch kit can...
Painting really wouldn’t hold up very well. That machine is wrapped. There’s several graphic wrap companies that have the Xpedition wraps available where you can choose your own color or graphics and have them wrap it or get a pre-cut kit and do it yourself.
It’s a non ground plane antenna. There’s no transmission or reception issues and the Swr reads good. Had it the same on my general and my radio was one of the farthest reaching in our group.
I’ve also driven through low hanging trees and shrubs that scrubbed the roof pretty good without...
The part on the passenger side is more designed to scoop air from the clutch vent and direct it back. It’s blocked by the A/C and alternator on the Northstars so it loses its effectiveness.
I just mounted the antenna through the rear of the roof. It has an o-ring seal on the base so there’s no leaks and it’s a non-ground plane antenna so no issues being mounted to plastic
Fade and balance work just fine on my XP 5. The rear is slightly quieter than the front but that’s because of the tweeters on top of the dash in addition to the main speakers underneath it.
A clutch kit can also help, with a heavier springs for better belt grip and tuned primary weights for proper engagement. I went from stock, where I’d floor it and not know if the belt was slipping or the tires spinning, to a Gilomen clutch kit where if anything is slipping loose it’s the tires...
The primary and secondary clutches and belt are all the same as the ‘24 RZR XP 1000
Primary part# 1327415
Secondary part# 1327121
Belt part# 3211186
The belt is a carry-over from the 2016 RZR Turbo 1000
Iirc yours is a Northstar so it limits dash space. If you’re only doing a radio and not coms there may be enough space under the A/C controls to cut it into the lower switch spots. You could also mount it on the top center panel on the dash. If you’re doing coms as well, the 696+ Remote 696...
Removing the right rear tire is a little more work but made getting to the oil filter a lot easier going in from the side. I was able to remove the oil filter by hand even tho it was really tight.
The problem with the ADV is the bed being part of the cab. I’m going to bet that the XPs are considerably quieter than the ADV by having the engine area at least partially separate from the cab. One thing that might help is a good, thick bed mat to help dampen the noise from that area.

I mounted my Packout plates up against the sides. It left enough space between for two 6 gallon gas cans if I want. I usually only carry one though. Also, I moved 2 of the tie-down loops from the corner bolts to the center ones for the gas can ratchet strap.
Our primary riding is on rocky desert trails, so those tires have been put to the test. I’m guessing around another 1000-2000 before I replace them. They really are a good all-around tire though. They’ve done reasonably well at the dunes and handled rock crawling pretty well.
The Ranger in the...
Thank you 😊
I have around 4300 miles on the KM3s. Pulled them off my old General when I traded it in.
The long travel definitely helps the Ranger’s ride, but it’s still a tank compared with the Xpeditions ride, from the factory. It also helps that the seating in the Xpedition is way better...
A majority of our riding is around the western Arizona strip and around Mesquite Nevada, but there’s a couple areas in southern Utah we’ll go to for rides several times a year.
Both my brother and I Used Triple S Polaris in Cedar City Utah. They were the firs in the area to get any Xpeditions in but shortly after, Moto Zoo in St George, Utah and Polaris World in Littlefield, Arizona got a couple in. All were the XP5 Ultimates. ADVs didn’t start showing up until...
The coolant lines run about 4”-6” to the side of the tunnel under the passenger side floorboard. They have plastic support plates and are fairly close to the floor panels making it pretty much impossible to use pipe wrap insulation. The easiest way to do the insulation for me was to drop the 2...
I finally got around to installing my Ryco turn signal kit on my XP 5. After doing the W. D. Kit on my brother’s, I figured I’d write about their differences.
For starters, the Ryco kit is $100 less expensive. (Both kits were with the 6 led front lights)
The W. D. kit has a smaller, and...
While it’ll slow down draining from the cab a little, depending on how tightly you pack it, it doesn’t absorb water like fiberglass insulation or foam. I tested a bit of it by submerging some in a bucket of water and it doesn’t collapse and become dense like fiberglass. Also it’s somewhat fire...
Excellent review!
On the heat issues, I pulled down the skid plates on mine to install the turn signal kit and the area in front of the motor is wide open. In fact it looks like the easiest route for the air from the clutch vent is across the exhaust manifold and then forward to the back cab...
30s. We put Maxxis RAZR XT 32s on my brothers XP 5 and they look great and give it a little extra ground clearance.
There’s plenty of room on the front so no scrubbing even when turning.
Finally installed them today. Installation only took about an hour. They’re not as nice as the flares on the General XP but they fit the look and styling of the machine and feel reasonably well engineered.
I ordered mine when I ordered the machine. It took them about a month after I got my XP 5 and I just installed them today.
Install process only took about an hour.
They’re not as good as the General XP flares were but these are decent and fit the look of the machine.
I’ve been with progressive for over 20 years but even without any claims or accidents decent credit and excellent driving history, my insurance rates kept going up. I finally went in to a local agent’s office and they ran it through a couple different companies including Progressive.
While the...
Dropping from a turbo sport car to a somewhat utility machine will do that lol. For me, I upgraded from a 2019 General so these Xpeditions feel snappy in comparison.
Aftermarket Assassins has a tune and clutch kits available that can help a little. You won’t see the performance of your old Pro...
