Robby Gordon Edition 4 Seater

I was driving about 4 miles an hour and took a wide turn in dirt and it laid over. Also a guy that weighs 400 pounds has laid it over driving normally and taking normal turns. I have never experienced any side by side tip this easily. you can just feel it wanting to lay over no matter speed or direction you are turning. This was purchased brand new and never really driven until recently and since new its always been like this.

Any suggestions on what to do to make it not roll as easy? Dont even want to drive it at all especially after the slow wide turn and it tipping.

Yes it is. I also own a full vehicle performance shop, I have never heard of this issue or seen it with any side by side. I know alot about vehicle suspension...and well same thing basically. I have searched this thing up and down and cant find any thing unhooked, bent, etc

My 2 seater RZR-S acts like it wants to tip even at low speed if the tire pressure gets low. I have noticed that if I keep it around 8 or 9 pounds and use the throttle to help turn it is very stable. But at low pressure and slow speeds (10 mph or so) the traction doesn't break and the sidewalls will lean making it feel tippy

Yeah, that sounds odd... as some one else stated, air pressure in your tires low? Is that a 2013 Robby Gordon Edition XP900? I can't find much if anything on them. 800's keep popping up.

Never heard of a 2013 Robby Gordon XP900, it's most likey a RZR4 800. Regardless what model it is something is wrong, check everything before riding it again, if you don't find the issue take it to a dealer and have them look at it, drive another one like yours and see if it performs the same.

It's not mine it's a customers and he said it's a 900, and it is labeled Robby Gordon... it has full fox reservoir coil overs and the pressure is right. I can't see anything wrong and the dealer here told us that we need to quit driving like jackasses. They said it's all user error. I even showed pics, I made a 1/4 turn and inside wheel to inside wheel was over 25 feet apart and it tipped going really slow. So slow that when it landed there are imprints of all the words on the side of tire in the dirt

Gottcha, this was posted in the XP900 area so I was confused.. which is easily done at times.. :scared2::rofl3:

I had an 800S which is 60" wide as is the machine your working on. Although not as stable as my XP900 unless I was really asking for it I never had a tipping issue with it.. On the dirt it drifted nicely. Something is going on there ...
Are the Springs on the shocks cranked down really tight? If the sway bar is hooked up and not broken, it's gotta be in the shocks and or springs.

Interesting, I've had my swaybar disconnected since the first day and have 3500 miles on it and it has never felt tippy.

Xp900's have a trailing arm rear suspension where as the 800's had a A-arm rears suspension. You can also see the belt cover on the driver side of a 900. There's lots of ways, those are just the first two to come to mind for me.

Yeah, maybe someone having a little fun with us... :scared2::rofl3:
But if not, I'm dying to know why!! I want to see video, could be some sort of world record!! :rofl3::rofl3:

Ok i guess it is an 800, i was provided wrong info. 7 people saw it and the guy in passenger seat when it tipped landed on roll bar and well...took a nice nap (when we were going roughly 4 or 5 mph). honestly i wish it was on camera because no one believes me. and I joined simply to ask you guys this so ya i guess im a troll for being concerned as to why a 450 pound guy driving this can lift the drivers side up going 20 mph on flat ground and not making a sharp turn (the owner of it).

I took pic of my track through the turn and of the perfect imprint of words from the tires showing that it fell flat, no slide nothing. i will post them tomorrow. I have driven others, never a RZR so first experience is horrible. and this thing has about 400 miles on it i believe. it has barely been driven. Sway bar and links are good, nothing looks bent, tire pressure is good, dealer said nothing is wrong with it. We are at a loss as to why this is like it. Our dealership here is full of dumb people, they said that there never has been a report of a RZR tipping or rolling. Thats like saying no one has been in a car accident. Especially when 2 weeks ago a guy rolled one in their parking lot test driving one.

"RZR's never tip or roll"!!!! LOL, yes they do, the crazy woman in this house has rolled and flipped hers. GEEEZ, women drivers. Now, I think it's time to put on your helmet, get back in that RZR, get someone to turn on the video camera, and show us the video of what this thing is doing. Most of us in this section have 2 place XP900's, you might want to post in the RZR4 section and see if anyone has experienced this. I think they will want to see a video also.
