RayRay's Maverick review

Well, I took the Mav. out riding today to get a feel for it to see how it would do. The place that I went to has a little of everything so I got a good idea how it will do in WV.

1st the good- It didn't feel as big on the trail as I thought it would. I did get in some tight places and had to go around...but so did the RZR/XP 900 that I was following. The steering wasn't  as bad as T-bone let on. I think he is just weak.lol

The power is awesome...even though I couldn't hardly use any on those trails. I did take it on the outer trails and hammered it some. It goes from zero to OH $HIT really quick and soaked up the bumps as if they were not even there. It really has that fun factor that I was looking for.

The seats are really nice and don't hurt my back like my RZR did. The rest of the interior fits me like a glove.

Now the bad...I know it was really hot today but the heat that comes from the engine get's hot...not unbearable but still pretty bad. That will be a great thing this winter though. The cab noise is more than the RZR but not that bad.

The next bad thing is that the belt will slip easier than the rzr that I had. It slipped with me on a hill starting from a dead stop but I was in high. It was very steep also.
 
If it wasn't for the heat and belt issues I would give it a 10 ...but because of those issues I will give it a 8.   I can't wait to take it to WV and see how it does up there. 

Thumbs up for me...I hope it holds up to all the hoopla that T-bone talks about. .....oh....and it wasn't as hard to clean up as I thought it would be  either.

Finally, a honest and true review of the Maverick!! Way to go RayRay! I'm still undecided and the 900 S just came out.

Steve, that 900s will be tough to beat....GITCHY WUN!

And T-Bone never rides his, so it is easy to clean-up and steers easy because he sits in his garage and goes "Voom, Voom" with a BobbyD video playing on the big screen TV in front of him...       

Honestly, Glad you like it, I would be happy if I had the Maverick, no matter what I had, I would be happy... but you will get the bashers (not sure why) .... I think most are jealous

Your review is in line with everything I hear and have experienced ridingas passenger in the maverick, thanks! Like others say, the new RZR 900 S is gonna be a big hit for Polaris.

These machines with the power they have will burn belts easily. If your're on trails where you know you won't be going over 45 then use low gear. Sounds like you had a good time and hopefully more to come.

Yeah...the belt slipping was a driver malfunction. As steep as that hill was I would have had to use low gear in my old rzr for sure. I just figured with the power the Maverick has that I could just go right up it in high.

As for the heat issue, I don't think it will be as bad in WV because of all the mud holes and creeks that we cross. That should keep things cooled down a good bit. Like I said...the heat aint that bad but when it's 93 degrees out and your crawling around on the trails it get's warm on your leg.

Good review Ray Ray. I just really never notice the heat that much because they all have some heat. Its time to ride buddy!

That's because you are usually wearing your daisy duke shorts when riding.     I don't think that I would look too good in those kind of shorts so I will have to deal with the heat.

Shuuuuut. I wear my gym shorts. It's too dang hot in the summer to wear long pants

My shorts are made different than yours....mine covers my butt cheeks. 

Thanks for the review brother

METRIC OR STANDARD?   RAYRAY + SXS = BROKE

Does it have plenty of storage for tools and a extra belt? Spare Tire?

Most important!! ROOM FOR A COOLER??

Where did you go CUZ?

Hate on cuzz....I have a seat for ya since your wife won't let you have any toys.  I may break it but at least I am getting to play.

Damn T-Bone your always talking about my ass? And I hate to bust your bubble RAYRAY! I don't want another SXS! The 2 happiest days of my life! The day I bought my Rhino and the day I sold it!! My next toy is going to be a good old 4x4 ATV or a Jeep so I can go hang out with Bobby!

U will have a side by side again. Rumors are u are getting a wildcat to haul your ass around in

No bubble busted here cuzz...If my knees wouldn't Kill me so bad I would just keep my Scrambler. That thing is a blast!   I'm old now so I needed 4 wheels and a chair instead of 4 wheels and a bench.

  Hit me up next time you get ready to go riding. I need someone to ride with now that my buddy sold his maverick.

I think I bought your buddies Maverick. Welcome to the sight by the way. We are going not this weekend but the next.

Yup you are the one that bought it. Hope everything is going good with the maverick. Just went to CAW this past weekend by myself. Need some people to ride with.

Well you came to the right place...there is always someone on here riding somewhere. I think we had some people on here at CAW this weekend. We also do day rides in WV a lot. Most of the time BobbyD puts them together.

JJ-
I am over here in Raleigh and am looking for people to ride with. I head up the WV from time to time but am open.
I have a Maverick as well.

JJ I too ride and camp in WV at least once a month. I live in Wallburg as do a few more on here so stay in touch and maybe we can hook up sometime and ride.

No problem. I am always looking to ride. Thanks for reaching out. I have only gone to WV once and broke a tie rod. Didn't see anybody for 4 hours and won't go there without a group. I go to CAW and Busco a lot.
