Re: rzr 4 what yall think
86tank on here has one and it has very low hrs on it like almost new
So far they have put a belt on it and it needs another one now. They have replaced rubber boot on the front end and all the skid plates have been tore off at least once. Now it is in the shop to have the a arm bushings replaced under warranty.

Not a big fan of buying used stuff I don't like fixing other people cobbled up crap....that's been my experience with buying usedPixbyNick said:

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
Yes dad has one. It had the extended warranty and they have kept it for over a month. We just got it back. Ill be the first to say it is a great time and if you have a family then they are the ticket. Now with that being said I know I'll never buy a rzr for my self. For the cost of one they just do not hold up to the abuse you would think Polaris designed them for. This one had to have all the control arm bushings. Those being wore killed one of the front inner axle boots. It had to have a rear seal in the chunk and afew other things that just shouldn't go wrong with something that only has around 450 miles on it. It needed a belt at around 200 miles and already needs another one. And I can say it hasnt had that rough of a life. Over half the miles have been with the kids riding it around in the yard... That's just our experience and I'm gonna have to stick with a buggy.wontwork said:

I'd say you'll see the belts being replaced much more on rzr4, many of them are driven "easy" with women and kids in them, and the belt slips a lot because of the weight and clutching.
Lots of "easing around the yard" kills belts from what I've seen.

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
I agree about easing around killing the belt. I had never looked at it like that. That doesn't explain all the other little things. When it was all said and done there was around $1500 in warranty work done to it... That's the best advice I can give is go with the extended warranty. And get some rocker guards quick. Those take their fair share of abuse in rocky trails.

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
Not to disagree or bash anyone, :flipper: But the belt should never slip or atleast very little at any speed. If the belt is sliping, "It is not adjusted correctly". The Centrifugal Clutch is what does the slipping when pulling out or low speeds. Again if the belt is wearing due to slipage then it is not adjusted correctly. :****:

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
That is how it "should" work, at least to my understanding also,
but I was just giving my experience with the older polaris and yamaha atvs when they were lugged around in high gear or had too big of tires put on them without changing the clutch weights.

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
When I said we had to replace the belt it wasn't due to slipping. It got to where when you would take off it would jump foreward like it was surging. When we took it back for its first free service the guys there told us that there was a spot on the belt where it has spun in place. When we replaced it there was a place on it like the motor had spun but the wheels where locked or something. Now it has started doing it again. Not slipping but surges and it only does that when you first take of from a dead stop.

stock cage is junk, its gives a terrible false sense of security.

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
I wonder how much these cages would be to replace (polaris cost) and I wonder if you could just tell them to leave it off and deduct that amount from the machine? if so I bet it would pay for at least half of a good cage if not more. I dont think a lot of dealerships would do that but you never know..I wish I would have asked that when I bought mine..

Re: rzr 4 what yall think
RZR-4's re the best. I have 650 hard miles on mine and all I have had to replace is the front upper control arm bushings.
The RZR4 with the right driver will not be a liability anywhere and will be an asset in most all situations from what I have seen.
I want a 900 in a bad way just for the HP. The 900 is insane compared to the 800. Night and day.
