May be new to Polaris but apparently not new to bitching on the Internet on a subject you have zero experience. Joined two hours ago and made two bitch threads

I have a feeling your stay here will be short 🤨

 

I have climbed some pretty steep stuff and have never lost oil pressure. Check your oil...

 

No oil pressure issues here.
No external oiling system either.

Read two post today that made me say WTH.
Both of them were by you.

 

Nice. Do you have a side picture of that ?

Cheers 🍻

 

Soooo are you the welcome pkg that comes with this exotic foryou? Rockets. Just seems like roller coasters and rockets would be more suitable.

 

 

I’m sorry, I forgot to ask. Upside down? Oil pressure too? Just asking. The welcome party. Your awesome.

In this message, Jason is sharing his frustrations and observations about a specific mechanical issue with his 2017 Polaris RZR XP Turbo 1000, a type of off-road vehicle. Here's a clearer interpretation of what he's saying:

1. Polaris Reliability Issues: He begins by talking about how Polaris vehicles, particularly the RZR series, seem to have problems with durability. He’s watched videos of people having accidents or mechanical failures while off-roading, noting how the vehicles often struggle for traction and end up in difficult positions.
2. Personal Experience: Recently, Jason bought a 2017 RZR XP Turbo at a great price, but it had a significant issue: the oil pump was sucking air instead of oil, which caused engine damage. He explains that these vehicles don’t have much oil in the crankcase to begin with, and when the vehicle is nearly vertical (common in off-roading), the oil pump can’t circulate oil properly, leading to wear and tear.
3. Engine Damage: In his case, the lack of oil caused a rod to spin, which sent debris throughout the engine, causing more damage. While he’s taken the engine apart and doesn’t seem overly concerned about the teardown, he’s frustrated with the high cost of repairs.
4. Seeking Solutions: Jason wonders if other owners have added external oiling systems to avoid this problem in the future. He also questions why the bearing configuration in the engine is so complicated, which adds to his frustration as he contemplates rebuilding the engine.
5. Humorous Reflection: At the end, Jason reflects on his age (almost 60) and how he’s starting to act like his dad, though he adds a touch of humor by saying, “Well, not really.”

Overall, Jason is venting about a mechanical problem with his Polaris and seeking advice or understanding about how others might prevent the same issue. His tone is practical, with a mix of frustration and humor.

 

Thanks! I am going to start using that in all my system design reviews;

"Rev, please tell us how this system works" It's easy, just roller coasters and rockets. Throw in a few magnets and some ball bearings; 'ta-da' it works.

 

Never really thought about that, but might make sense. Haven't see a rzr oil pan, hopefully Polaris thought about that??? I remember the old dirt oval racing vehicles, where they had to change their oil pan so the sump could pick up the oil as the centrifugal force was causing the oil to move to the side of the oil pan, hence nothing for the sump to pick up.
