Hahahaha, let me rephrase. It’s not going to beat the other 1000’s in a drag race.

I’ve got a 1000 XP single cab and it’s pretty quick but my 1000R Can-Am 4 wheeler is on another planet. You better be holding on good to those handle bars if you gun it in performance mode

...is there a turbo rzr or can am pushing it?

KRX are geared low.

They are very reliable. A bit too heavy. And can be had cheaper than others.

For the record, it's the most reliable sport unit.

I wouldn't own one. Geared too low

Also they have a brake pressure switch. When that bitch goes out there isn’t anyway to start. Mine left me in the woods twice.


You can jump the brake pressure switch with a paper clip or even a bread tie wrap. It takes 2 minutes, if that. Shitty part they continue to put in their models. I need to replace the part on my 2025. Someone makes an aftermarket that’s supposed to be way better.

True but my Ranger less than 2 years old had it go out twice. There isn’t a bypass and then part is $200. Polaris wouldn’t warranty it even though I had an extended. They called it wearable maintenance item. I’ll never own another Polaris.


You had a bad dealer. Mine told me to come by and they will swap it out while it’s on the trailer under warranty. And it’s not $200, it’s like $90. I’d like to say you’re just spewing bullshite at this point, but I think you just had a horrible dealer. Most bikes have the pressure switch now a days, but the one Polaris keeps putting on is dog shite, I’ll give you that. But you should do a little of your own research before completing shitting on a brand because you had a horrible stealership.

Can’t help you on those brands, but we sell the Yanmar which are identical to the Yamahas and the bad boys and we are currently running some specials selling them almost at our cost. Our business is Hill’s Equipment located in Livingston Louisiana.

Good people. I've bought a lot of stuff from yall over the years.

The next will likely be a larger bad boy mower. My current one just won't die...

I just watched someone film their speedo to 68 and it very clearly stopped there because of the limiter. Probably could get to 75 pretty easily with a tune, but that wasn’t really the point.

No one is going even 68 trail riding, that’s stupid fast on anything but black top or wide open desert, and someone who hasn’t ridden much might not understand that. Acceleration is what most people are looking for, not top end speed.

Most aren't.

But when my gate alarm goes off in the middle of the night 4 miles from my house, I expect more than 68 and better handling than a KRX provides.



Correcting for 33in tires thats 94-96 mph.

Admittedly, a 60ft wide curvy gravel road gets REAL narrow above 65.

You go over 35 or so with me in it you can just let me out. I’ll walk it

My choice comes down to which one has bench seating. I like simple

I’ve done a decent amount of research as I’ll be buying one in the next year or so.

I’ll be going with a Kawasaki Mule FXR 1000.

You are retarded. Don’t you have a truck? 94 mph on a sxs headed towards a threat is simply asinine.
