I know alot of people are doing this to the other rzr models. Has anyone tried disconnecting the sway bar on the xp and what is the consensus?

watch a few you tube videos demoing anti-sway, from mom's mini vans to 6 speed exotics and other.

Mine is staying on above 20 mph.
for a long crawling day I will get out the 15mm socket and temporarily disconnect.

We all know RZRs roll over if you fart wrong.
whataya do

Yeah I see what youre saying. I ride literally all day sometimes and never make it to 20. Then there are days that I'm in it hard most of the time. I should probably just try it and see what I think.

i have a few pics of the flex difference with it on and with it off. the slow ride with it off would be good but up to speed and flying into turns will be a handfull imho. ill look for the pics and post up

ok found them this is the front with swaybar connected, as high as i could go before lifting a tire off ground

the rear shot of the flex in the back from pic above (connected)
Image


rear flex with it connected before a tire would lift off ground front or rear

rear flex disconnected, now this is as high as my jack would go so it will flex more then this before lifting a tire.

We do more slow riding, up hill, down hill, off camber, crossing truck ruts. It keeps all tires on the ground better and doesn't teeter totter. I have fox RC2 shocks and I upped the front springs from 150 to 185 lbs. That took care of the roll coming into a corner at high speed, and it still rides soft. On a flat floor with one front tire on a lift table, you can raise it to 24 inches before the rear tire starts to leave the floor. You can only lift the rear tire to 20 inches before it starts to lift the front tire off of the ground, unfortunately I did not check these measurements before I took the sway bar off.

I disconnected mine on "S" and rode high speed with no issue's. I'm going to try it on my 900.

Stock springs and high speed riding..leave it connected..body roll with the stock springs is pretty bad during hard cornering with it disconnected.
Stock springs and low speed trail riding..disconnect it..as said smoother and more articulation.
Aftermarket springs( I have King Progressives)..high speed or low speed..take it off. With these springs I MIGHT leave it on if ALL did was high speed desert stuff. Just my .02...mines in the junk pile.

We took it off the 2011 when we put Makin Trax springs on. I disconnected it on my 2013 WE and will tryit out Saturday. Taking the link with me just in case.

Mine is disconnected right now. It rides better but the rear end pushes quite a bit more when you get any speed going and turn. It feels weird and tippy at first but I have pushed it pretty hard and it havent rolled it.

I removed the sway bar before I ever took my machine out when it was new... 2 riding seasons later no regrets... I do dunes, moab and a area called the cinders here in flag (nasty whooped out area, great for testing suspension) Ditch it!!

Sorry to resurect...The disco's worked so well on my jeep I really want to try it on this xp900. I've read many posts about the axles being smaller/weeker on my 13, I wonder how much more stress the extra angle of crawling disconnected will affect the weaker joints?
