I agree the base rzr transmission low gear is hardly any different than high. Seems like they should all atleast be geared like a highlifter. And the highlifter another 27% above that. Great video todd. Your rollers working great in my 16 xp1k hle
I know this is an older video but i follow your info a lot and plan on trying your belt soon. I have a 2016 S900 with 30 inch mud tires right now and they do ok with my motherclutcher primary and secondary with round rollers. If i go up to 33s and bigger wheels would i be better with portals or a reduction? We ride trails and the occasional mud hole in south Louisiana.
Brent, my 2016 Highlifter in high range at 6000 rpms is running only 25 mph I’m having heat problems with belt and front differential. I trail ride 75% and rock craw 25% and running on 32” Rocktaine tires. Please guide me in the right direction thanks Wes
Great info .. i just gor a 2021 1000 turbo s I live in California and ride alot of mountain dirt roads and I am 1.2 hours from the Rubicon and go out there couple times a year and now in winter we are doing snow mountain trips .. I don't realy care to go over 60mph would rather be able to climb rocks .. my question is with gear reduction in the trany will that stress all my moving parts vs having the reduction at the wheel ..
New to the bigger tire area... have a 2020 ranger crew 1000premium.. 26 inch stock tires..wanting to add 30 inch tires...thinking maxxis carnivores.... normal ride in high gear on typically hard pack dirt roads with ocassional mud..no deep mud riding. What would you recommend? Thank you
You might get away with nothing, but those tires on a crew if you use all four seats is really gonna drop rpm and lose power. So ideally some kind of reduction
I have '19 xp1000 and have 33" outlaw 3. I pinned it a few times on my first ride and now there's a vibration noise coming from the secondary. It would bog down at 20mph for about an hour now there is just a noise. Did i fry my rollers?
I know this is an older video but I have heard you make a comment in a lot of your videos, fast rider. What, in your opinion, type of speeds are you considering fast? I trail ride 30-40 about half the time and the other half of the time is half those speeds and a little mud play with some hilly stuff. I just put on some 30's, and have the belt from you all, on my 20 900 s. Would a clutch kit be beneficial in that sense?
I just bought a 2021 Ranger Crew Ultimate TrailBoss. Will be mainly dirt road pave road and some hwy speed. Would like smoother starts and lower rpm for hwy and dirt road riding. What do I need to do? Oh, it only has 25 miles on it. The original owner never drove it obviously, he bought it in april of 2021.......still needs inital breakin process which I am currently doing. Thanks, Tony K
@@Hunterworks I watched a video of a ranger traveling at 60 mph 7k rpm, did some sort of change and lowered rpm to 6k at 60mph. I am unable to find this video again to review at offer to you as a refference. It was a clutch or belt review not sureyhough?
I am contemplating a low gear reduction for my 19 Turbo s. I like to go to moab, so full speed top end and ultra low gear for rock climbing. I sure wish I knew more about swaping gears.
22 Polaris Ranger Crew Xp 1000 NS Trail boss went w 30 tires & 14 inch wheels lots of hwy driving. Want 32’s and take whatever precautions I can to be easy on the machine so everything will last longer. Do you think portals will be a good way to go for me?
Thanks I have a razor 570 question I have is do I need a clutch kit on mine with 27 inch tires an to help with wheel hop going down hills an would it help a lot with transmission I saw video on a review on mine an he said I did need one with one way bearing thanks a lot.
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Arlo Cameron Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good video, I have a 2016 900 trail with 28" (was 26") Tires, not fast guy or wanna be, but want to crawl up and down anything I can find ;-) What's your opinion of right set up?
@@russo5196 Ok, so the question remains, is there something you want to change about the way it works now? Since used how many miles on it and does it have any clutch kit now?
@@russo5196 maybe, I just need info to advise, miles, tires and if there is a kit now is info I just have to have to give you a good answer. Rollers always good idea
I just did a 13% reduction (2017 xp4 1000 on 32s) and it brought all the life back to my machine. Top speed went down about 10mph but I have all the punch back. Could probably run 35s with just the 13%
Great video, as usual, Todd. Here are a couple of thoughts to add to your video. First, you indicated that you didn't know of a reason for a 15% portal reduction. Here's one: if you don't have the ability to have a "dedicated" machine to rock crawl only or to mud only, etc, you could do a trans gear reduction to get to where you want to be off the rocks or mud and then add the 15% portals that both reduce the gearing and give you additional clearance to clear rocks, get in deeper mud, or to add larger tires. That way, if you were inclined to wrench your machine to take off portals when desired, you could have the best of both worlds in one machine. This isn't a great solution for a lot of riders. But, it does provide one answer to the "why?" question. Next, another observation around portals is how heavy they are. They definitely increase clearance and take off stress on the system (diffs, axles, trans, etc) better than a clutch kit or trans reduction, but the added weight of each portal at each wheel is significant and "can" significantly affect "nimble" performance. I'm not saying one is better than another. Just something additional to consider when looking to alter your machine for your particular style of riding, budget, or know-how.
I have a 4" 15% 3rd gen portal setup on my car. I've also done gear reduction in the trans to achieve a super low low gear for rock crawling. I have a second hub setup essentially as a "kit" and I can hack my portals off and swapped to regular hubs in 2 hours. I prefer to do this for bigger Dune trips. But if I'm going to the dunes just for a day I will run my portals which is the advantage of having the 15% reduction. I feel it has a reasonable and efficient trade-off
