RZR 4 questions???

Subject: RZR 4 questions??? Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:50 am

Im really starting to like the idea of a RZR 4 800. I mainly ride windrock and was wondering how much harder is it to get around? I know the longwheel base is gonna give some trouble with high centering, but how bad is it? Any other up or downs about em please chime in. The extra room would be great when nobody was riding in the back and it would be nice to take my parents and friends on rides here and there. Bout got all the bugs worked outta my S so im ready to trade it in. Changing my mind everyday on what i want tho lol

Many people here have 4's. I am sure they will chime in.

If you are riding large trail systems I don't see you having any problems getting around.

I dont have any trouble getting around. Get you a good set of tree kickers and go! thatsright

I will back Bonzo, he has no trouble. Only times I've seen him have trouble wheel base had nothing to do with it. Tree kickers are a must.

How about the power, compared to the S? How to they do carrying 2 extra people?

Compared to the S you are going to feel like you are lacking in power. If you started with a 4 then you would not know the difference. However, same engine more weight means less power.

Ok, that's what ive been wondering. I thought maybe they had lower gearing to make up for weight.

No but you can change the clutch. It will help.

I've got the XP 900 4 and don't have any trouble once I figured out the tricks. Yes, tree kickers will make a big difference. One thing I highly recommend with 4 people in it, is to make sure you have power steering. Mine wears me out when i've got a full load of people.

Big R is right coming from an s to a 4 you will notice the power difference with the extra passengers,however i hauled two grown men and myself all over black mountain with no problem 250x2+200= 700 lbs and yes on power steering its one of my next mods fully loaded it will wear you out after a days ride even if rear psg are children.

Two best things I ever done to mine is tree bars and power steering. As far as power they are alittle weak. Steep hills really drag em down, but I can get thru all the rough stuff everyone else goes thru. Even with the extra weight of a cooler and a box of tools and supplies. I finally bought me a xp4 two weeks ago. Havent had it out yet, but cant wait to see how it compares.
