First I would like to see Polaris make an effort to move away from the bushings and other weak parts but that probably wouldn't have enough flash for them to present at a convention.

I really think Polaris needs to put out a new body design. One that is more roomy and comfortable. Really need better seats, a little more leg room, and on the RZR-S and XP a little wider body. Really don't like how Polaris wants to use the same body for a 64 inch wide machine that they use for the 50" RZR.

Guys trust me. Nobody has been more angry than I have with the bushing situation with Polaris. I got so mad a couple months ago that I made up my mind I was going to sale everything. Then I went spent 3 days riding the Wildcat on a track environment and on a woods coarse. This is my opinion and my opinion only. Your kinding yourself if you think the Wildcat will handle as good as a "S" or "XP". I was very disappointed with the Wildcat. It pushes through turns, yea in whoop situations they are the bomb but thats it period. The diff. is terrible, almost like a limited slip which is the main problem it does not turn. You can't pitch the rear end. Again the travel is nice and whoops are sweet but handling there is NO COMPARISON! Again this is my opinion and everyone has one. I was ready to jump ship. I even had a inside line to get one. Im so thankful I got the chance to spend 3 consecutive days on it. The first day I was all excited then I got to back on a XP. XP is where it's at! The bushing don't wear out no where near as bad on the XP. It's a geometry issue with the "S".

I replaced the lower front bushings on my XP at 830 miles. The upper A-arm bushings had a little bit of slop in them but not enough to change them. I am trying something new and it may backfire. I am not gonna grease the new lower bushings at all. I just jacked up the XP a little bit ago and they are as tight as can be. I have put 200 miles on the new bushings and used no grease at all, so time will tell. I find it hard to believe that an after market fix for this, that is also reasonable in price has not been found.

If my S don't sell, I'm going to modify my a arms to run heim joints and move the rear mounting point of the front lower arms back further on the frame. Would take alot of time to do it, because I'm sure I will screw it up the 1st time. It would take alot of money to do the front and rear, but for me it would be worth the time it would save me in the long run. At least I would hope so.

All I can say is for my type of riding I like the ride of the Wildcat and how many of us are going to take one to a track or drive one wide open.I drove a Wildcat as fast as I feel comfortable driving anything through the woods and it beats the shit out of my S but I have not driven a XP 900 very far but from what little time I was in a XP 900 I like the ride and seats better in the Wildcat.It all comes down to comfort for me as many miles as I ride in a years time.I don't care which one handles better at blazing speeds because its not the way I'm going to be riding anyways

it does seem that somebody would come out with better joints and bushings but polaris should get enough feedback to try and improve the o.e.m. parts

How many of us are going to take one to a track or drive one wide open?

Oh, my bad.

The way I see it po po had to offer a line of accesories that would cost you about 2k. to make the machine you want,why did they not offer all that crap in the beginning,seats light bars gps ect... it is to get you to buy it,I am tickled shitless with the cat I have and it even sounds like a machine,not an outboard evinrude, but sure they all have problems and if you dont check and try to do maintenence and replace stuff that wears it causes other parts to fail and that is not builder problems its owner problems,so all I can say is buy what you want for what you do and dont cry or blame someone when your stuff breaks,besides you are the one that rode the heck out of it!

Tell um Andy

You can tell Andy never owned a rzr. Seriously Andy, nobody maintains and takes care of their stuff better than I do. The bushing and ball joint trouble with the rzrs is a Polaris problem. I thought if I greased it after every ride, and slowed down for the rough rocky stuff, and didn't hit stuff, that my parts would outlast everyone elses. I was wrong. Plus side is parts are cheap, and it's easy to work on. The frequent repair time just don't fit in my schedule anymore.

I know Hump,just kickin it some like everyone else and yes there are some that takes good care of thier ride and some dont! believe me I know a few but I had to throw in

Hey Hump...I'm working on getting some bubba bushings made up and I'm gonna get a web site and sell them and make thousands of dollars.....Bubba is comming to the rescue....

I have not rode in a Wildcat, but I am pleased with my XP.
