Heavy Steering

[bobcat]

I have a XP Norhstar 2 door. The steering is very heavy and feels like there is little power assist. Drove my bosses XP 5 Norhtstar and it was very easy and smooth to turn. Felt alot lighter in the front end. Has anybody else expereienced this with their 2 seat?

My 2 seater XP Northstar has super light steering.

Comfort, Standard or Sport mode? By any chance were they different between yours and your bosses?

Modes make no difference on steering effort, just throttle response
Now if u get a Turbo R with Dynamix, modes change the steering

That’s what I was thinking. Dealer seems to think it is normal. When it was delivered it was missing a Bolt on the steering column. I am wondering what else they left off at factory.

It doesn’t sound normal especially if it is noticeable to you. Mine takes the least effort to turn the wheel of any utv I’ve been in. Significantly less than my wife’s RZR Pro xp.
