Just bought a new '15 XP 900
I have been into racing banshees for many years so I know most of the general rules will carry over to these machines but this is my first rodeo with a side by side. For the oil besides going to Amsoil what are you guys using as an alternative option to the Polaris motor oil? I am sure there is nothing special about their oil other than they want to hold the specs close to their chest to sell oil and make the profit themselves.
Also while at the dealer I heard 2 different people say this but not sure the legitimacy of the claim. They said that if you are riding around in high gear at low speeds you are likely to glaze the belt. They said if you’re below 30mph ride in low gear? I haven’t driven the unit so not sure how fast you can go in low without winding up the motor but does this claim hold any water? I would assume just like a truck that you just use low when you need additional torque for low traction?
Thanks in advance.
