Sounds like belt slap to me. Typical in stock clutch and not specific to Xpedition. Gilomen clutch kit eliminated it for me.

Something to keep an eye on. My inner rear on drivers side had what appeared to be a manufacturing blemish in the rubber that included a small split. The grease slinging out wasn’t overly noticeable but that’s how I found it. Dealer booked out till end of the year (this is concerning) so I just...

Sometimes mine is off at start up but self corrects as soon as RC connects to satellite. My Ranger did the same thing.

Agree with MP. For us the lower rpm trail riding noise has been a non issue and the performance blows away the prior 2021 Ranger Northstar. On road we throw on Cardo Packtalk Edge headsets and noise becomes non issue - have coms and music across all the headsets. For our style of riding we don’t...

Is anyone else picking up what sounds like a front ball joint popping when turning or articulation of the front suspension? I have not had time to fully dive into and recheck all of the torque specs in the front end but curious if anyone else is experiencing this. It is not the sound of hitting...

I have nothing that says definitely other than what my tint shop said. It definitely seems to easily scuff like poly though but could be wrong.

Anyone have video with sound of this occurring that you can post? My loop has plenty of clearance and shaft zerk greased. I don’t get much of a rattle but more of a buzz sound coming at 5500. It does it in park and drive both for me though so what I am hearing must be different.

Agree - I’ve had a handful of bolts around the machine that didn’t like to start and could have easily stripped. Rear seat back was a pain in that regard.

That wrap looks awesome! Like the lights too. I am holding off on lights for now until the aftermarket bumpers come out. Come on @thumperfab !

Great idea. My oil change a few weeks ago resulted in a mess, a little bit of blood and a lot of swearing. Where are you mounting the remote?

They are 1k load per tire at 22 psi. Not sure where you got your information.

My XP5 is under a cover with 4 plastic push pins behind passenger rear seat on drivers side. Accessible between seat back and seat bottom. Not sure if ADV is different if that is what you are looking for.

I am running the Gboost belt with Gilomen clutch. Great improvement over stock so far. Will carry the oem belt I took off for my spare.

I am really impressed with it. Great power increase. Immediate hookup and no more belt slap with the clutch kit. Also pleased with the service - I sent my computer in and it was back on my porch the second business day later.

Thanks! Not sure where the weight sits on the stockers as I haven’t taken the tires off the rims. I think the bare S3 wheel was 18 pounds on the scale.

I like the look of that plow setup! Makes me want to do the same thing instead of using my tractor - the plows do a much smoother job. Agree with your thoughts as well. The capabilities and performance of the machine far exceeds that of my prior NS Ranger so much so that the negatives don’t make...

System 3 SB-6 with 32” Tusk Megabites. Just got everything done so no feedback on tire performance yet. Stock combo weighed 55 pounds each and new combo weighs 57.5 - super happy with the lack of weight gain. Also added Gilomen tune and performance clutch kit.

I would be interested in seeing how you did your roof insulation. Have considered that as well but didn’t want to have to cut a bunch of individual pieces to fit in between all of the vertical plastic reinforcement channels. Hopefully my point makes sense and thanks for any feedback on what...

Same here. My auto stop works fine with the rubber stopper between the magnet and fairlead. No remote here either. Was disappointed in that as my Ranger came with the remote.

I covered the back of the firewall with 3 layers of Second Skin damplifier and then used some of their mass loaded vinyl sound blocking on the inside of the firewall. There are some open holes that can be filled and covered around the rear seat belt area. Made a noticeable difference but didn’t...

Welcome!

That ADV will be the cats meow for ice fishing. I about went that route for that reason but need the dump bed and our season isn’t as long as yours! Hope you get it soon.

Could have done more but at what additional expense? I have said before that I wish it was quieter but have also made the decision that I’m not going to come on here and curse Polaris about it every time it comes up. I enjoy the things the machine does do well too much. As the current owner of...

I don’t think there is an issue with the Gilomen kit. Any of these cruiser kits that come with a meaningful drop in rpm are going to neuter performance. Gilomen, AA, etc are pretty up front about that. For me, going to the performance of my Ranger is a complete non-starter plus my Ranger (2021)...

F150 - JT has given you some great information here. It does sound like you would be a great candidate for a cruiser clutch kit. I don’t view the clutch as an Xpedition design flaw - a clutch kit is one of the first/best modifications that many are adding to any make model. They can all be...

Did your dealer replace and confirm the paint issue is fixed? I am just rolling with mine as is for now until we see what the aftermarket comes up with for bumpers, guards, etc for these machines. Hoping Thumper Fab rolls out some cool bumpers soon.

Rear exhaust cover

Mine is doing the same thing.

See my attached picture. There is a factory rubber cover. He is missing it.

Do you like your Terrabites better in the snow and mud? If they are similar I will probably just go with the lighter tire. I have a decent amount of snow driving during my Iowa winters but most of the tire options folks seem to say are mediocre to poor in snow.

Many relevant points and most that I agree with. They must have forgot to install the finned rubber guard around his steering shaft - picture of mine attached. Also, I have had my rear seat back off and there is a factory deadening pad on the wall behind it. Agree that it is insufficient but it...

Anyone have direct experience and feedback related to these for an XP5? My riding is a mix of Midwest farmland trails, gravel, a little pavement, and a western trip or two per year. The reviews I have seen are reasonably good. Few other options match the specs of these for high load rating in a...

I’m sure you will keep us posted on your feedback after install but interested to hear. One of my top reasons for going with this machine was the additional performance of this motor over a Ranger or Defender. I assume these low rpm kits are going to kill a lot of that.

Sharing in case anyone is interested. It’s been there for about a month. https://www.vanwallpowersports.com/New-Inventory-2024-Polaris-Utility-Vehicle-Polaris-XPedition-ADV-NorthStar-Van-Wall-Powersports-Indianola-14186867

The kit comes with rubber expansion nuts to flush mount the plate holder. You can route wiring for plate light up under drivers side tail light and through hollow middle of lower tail gate hinge alongside camera wiring. This results in no bending or twisting of wire when opening and shutting the...

Really happy with the coverage and strength of these. Preferred the simple understated look that blends with the body lines. At a glance, it doesn’t look like it has rock sliders on it. Most of the steel plate looks to be 1/8” thick. Note that they are heavy for the 5 seater - I estimate they...

If I recall correctly, my local shop had ceramic and carbon. The ceramic offers the highest performance but the material is more expensive than the carbon. He told me he rarely installs carbon on anything anymore unless a customer just wants window blacked out and doesn’t care about UV...

Mine was completed last week. Believe it was 30% on sides and back and 50% on windshield. I drive at night so going darker was not for me but still looks great. FYI - the lower rear window is poly. My tint shop said if they tinted that the film would not adhere correctly and would come off over...

Hello from Iowa. Have had my XP5 Northstar for about 3 weeks. Figured I should stop lurking and contribute here where I can. I am mostly diy and turn my own wrenches so will share from that perspective on accessory installs and modifications I have done. Coming from 2021 Ranger Northstar 2...
