As previously noted, this was NOT caused by the driver switching the AWD on at high rpms. This was a problem with the front diff switching on and off intermittently. The diff was replaced by the dealership under warranty and the problem was fixed.

did you lock up while spinnign your back tires?

[myhoundwillfindu]

No, It did this intermittantly throughout the day. Dealer is trying to fix it now.

[charlyroxs411]

any brand is capable of doing that exept honda( lack of power) and diff lock

read the sticker

warning do not engage awd while back wheels are spining this could cause severe drive shaft damage

I think this exemplifies the problem that Polaris has with it's automatic 4-wheel drive system. If they made the system operated controlled it would stay in or out depending on what the operator wanted. I have never liked the no 4 wheel drive until after you already need it system.

agreed but they didn't hit the 4wd switch, i have had mine go into 4wd by its self while i was sliding in the snow

hitting the switch with the engine at that rpm wont even let the 4wd engage cause there is a built in safety that keeps it from turning on if the engine is running higher than 3000rpms,but it still can engage on its own.Polaris needs to address this problem it is fairly common. i own three polaris machines 04 700, 06 800, and 08 ranger xp . i broke my 700 once doing something similar ,not a hard or exspensive fix. i have found that colder weather makes them want to engage until warmed up good

people like this would destory a tank in one ride....no brand offer brains with the purchase. why not next ride whip it in reverse at 60mph then hold it to the floor?

[fike301]

guess polaris will need to make the 4wd switch more idiot proof....dont worry if the idiots continue they will ruin this sport too, soon laws will be passed to further hinder buying, owning or riding one.
