I use low range anytime I'm climbing any steep hills or in heavy mud.

 

Almost every time I put it in AWD, I will put it in low. You can go pretty fast in low. It makes your belt happy.

 

Use it all the time exempt having to go faster

I use it most of the time unless I'm road riding to the trail

Only time I'm not in low is when I'm on wide open pipelines or fire roads. Any trial always low. I have over a thousand miles on my belt

 

I use mine on sandy or muddy trails and when towing a trailer or a Wildcat. opcorn:

 

I've only been in high a handful of times in 900 miles.

 

I use Low range when doing an average of less than 25 mph, which is most of the time, as I am a trial rider. The 900 has a more useable low range than some of the older rzr's. I have 4817 on my 900s and other than a failed stator and voltage rectifier, I've had no problems..

 

The 900 S can go in low gear up to 40-45. My belt was just changed at 2000 miles and it looks new. I am only in high gear on cement or fast fire roads. I am in low 95% of my ride. I also talked to the techs at Camp RZR and they totally agree with this type of riding in low gear. They said that is what it is meant for, that's why I love the S.

 

I guess I go against the popular consenus here. I only use low gear on steep hill climbs, deep mud and technical stuff. I'm in high gear most of the time. I'd rather keep my rpms down then having it tached out all day. I'm sure my belts won't last as long as guys running low most of the time but I'm betting my engine runs cooler. Just my preference.

 

I agree with Superjunior. If the hills get steep it goes into lowrange but if i can keep my momentum up & i don't feel like im bogging the engine I run HIGH. Deep Mud Low, Pulling low.

X2 high gear 95% of the time 700 miles and some change,still factory belt (knock on wood)

 

I agree with superjunior and tater1. I rarely use low and don't do a ton of high speed riding. I get that it's a little harder on the belt but I hate the sound and feel of a machine ripping at high rpms and going slow. I guess I'll just have to replace my belt more often than most but at least my engine won't be worn out from all the revs.

 

I only use low if I need it. Mud, creeping through the woods, big hills climbs that don't need wheel speed.

I was one of those guys that would always drive in high and only going into low if climbing a long steep hill or towing someone or something. That was until I busted a belt when I was in too much of a hurry to get up a hill and didn't feel like stopping to change gears. I was almost at the top and the belt broke. For those who insist on always driving in high, you may want to carry a spare belt.

 

A spare belt is a must have regardless of which gear you mostly use. I wouldn't go on a serious ride without one, they're cheap enough and easy to change out on the trail.

 

For sure. Must have item.

2015 900s 3000 miles and still on first best. Usually if using awd I'm in low if your crawling or any place not on flat ground I use low.

 

I only use hi gear when im on wide open high speed fire roads. I do a lot of sand pit riding with big sand hills and I run low 4x4.

 

I am in Low 75% of the time trail riding and in H when it opens up where I can go fast.

 

I use 2 wheel high in turf mode 95% of the time.

I go locked and low 4wd when we go through stuff like this

 

I'm almost always in high unless in a steep technical area. It's always worried me the sound it makes at high RPMs going slow. I might be paranoid, but a belt is cheaper than an engine. I dunno.

Couldn't agree more. And a spare belt weighs what, less then a can of pop and fits anywhere in the rzr. I'll keep my rpm's down and engine happy and if the belt goes then it goes. I'll have it changed out in 5 mins..

 

I blew my first belt at 700 miles

The second belt has been on for over 8,000 miles

 

I don't think I've ever even been in turf mode. What's the benefits?

The benefits are better maneuverability at slow speeds on hard pack, like your driveway , shop or while loading on to a trailer. My trailer has a floor covering and when I am locked it will tear up the carpet when I am unlocked it will not. You get a lot tighter turn radius when the rear diff is unlocked

Here is an example the first run is locked and you can hear the tires chirping

 

I sometimes use Low to load onto the trailer

 

Not to hijack but I'm looking at a 1K 4 seater. Does the same apply I'm looking at the higher lifter edition if that makes any difference.

I find this very interesting. We're not talking a minor difference. If you consider the life of an engine in terms of total rpms over the life of the engine it's significant. I'd really like to see some hard facts if they exist.

 

Can you explain better, please?
