Problems, None for me. I love my rzr xp 1000. No issues and it's amazing. Luv luv this machine. Cheers bubba. No regrets

 

That's up to you. I just sold my xp900 and planning on pulling the trigger around April, get a warranty and you'll be good

 

I would wait. Give them time to re-engineer the drive shaft.

 

I don't think they necessarily "wait" for that kind of thing. They just change the part in the middle of the production line if it's deemed necessary. I know there are some changes year-to-year, but not something like that IMO. I also can't see the 2015 1K being a whole lot different than the '14. Just a guess based on prior history.

 

Wait wait wait. You might get lucky and have no problems or you may be visiting your dealer every Monday. Too many issues right now. Wait until they fix them.

 

I hear ya. Apparently the Polaris rep in my local area knows about the DS.

I have been emailing back and forth with the dealer and he said he wants to check the machine I was interested in. Again it was built 1/8/14 I believe he stated. Does Polaris itself recognize the issue?

I told him about the belt rubbing, clutch issues, silicone crap in the coolant, Shocks bending, etc..

Aside from that, what else is major?

I was pricing a 3 year warranty added. So a total of 4 years. Polaris is offering 1 year included now. Some incentive at the moment

At what point do 15's become available for order? I know I got my '13 XP in 8/12 if I recall.

 

When did they start offering a 1 year warranty? ?? or is this something that your dealer is doing to entice a sale

 

There have been many...many XP1K's sold with zero issues...including mine.
We just hear about the problems here.

Not sure on the warranty. In the email from the dealer he just stated Polaris is offering 6+ 6 right now..

I can't help but to make my end of the deal on have the dealer check some issues beforehand. I really think the DD clutch maybe worth the investment anyway. Out of the gate - no issues with that part of the machine.

Driveshaft - another thing that can be checked.

 

I bought mine New Year's Eve. I love it. So far no problems but I only have about 70 miles on it

 

I've got 400 miles on mine and I've had zero problems so far as well.

if you can wait and wanna wait then wait. never know what will hit the market. ride what you have untill you just cant take it anymore.

Whatever issues they having with the current models im sure they will either fix or will leave alone due to the fact of " if you fix this issue, then this will break as well".....

i know that dam throttle vane sensor is pissing me off every damn ride... I have the resistor coming to fix that myself

 

WAIT!!! It's only approximately 6 months until the '15's are out. If you don't mind your Kawi, then wait and get at least the 2nd year.

 

Six months is almost the end of the season here in Michigan. If it was me, it'd be in the garage no later than march.

This late in the game I would wait. You may like the 15 better but you can bet it will cost you way more money. Waiting will also increase the rebates and deals on the 14. You will save thousands buying a 14 but sometimes it is better to be riding and not waiting.

 

Too bad polaris will not offer a included 3 year warranty with the purchase like kawasaki is doing.

 

Kawasaki does have a strong warranty,if Polaris could stand behind there product for 3 years I would buy a new rzr tomorrow..

 

I really appreciate all the opinions....

I am going to do some sould searching over the next few days.

Right now I have to finance half of it. If I wait until August-Oct time frame.... I can pay cash.......

I want the dealer to get back to me Monday. He said they were going to go over their machine....

I want to hear what they have to say...he was honest and said he knew about the DS and the clutch issues. I want them to tell me what kind of shape their machine is in . He also said he heard about the shocks bending. He assured me it was on "early" ones.

 

Jump in from the high dive. Here is only one number one. Right now it's Polaris. Who knows about next year. jump in while the water is warm.

 

Here are the changes to expect for 2015-BNG!!! (bold new graphics)

Polaris has to feel like the driveshaft issue is a issue to truly correct the issue...........
(and in my opinion-yes it's noisy, but have not heard of 1 failure yet)

We bought our 2014 XP1000 out of the very 1st batch built and have loved every minute of it!!! If it were stolen tonight and I had to replace it tomorrow and the price went up 5000.00, I would bitch about the inflated price and then pay the man for another XP1000
!!!! The stuff you read here needs to be taken with a grain of salt............

 

!!!! The stuff you read here needs to be taken with a grain of salt............

Does that include your comments as well?

 

Yeah i pretty much agree about the BNG.. LOL

I saw polaris issued that bulletin about pulling the driveshaft apart and rotating it... Is that their fix? Has anyone tried it?

As for the clutch, I may do some entry level woods racing... Nothing big... Just for fun locally... Would I benefit from the DD clutch anyway?

Just wondering....

I was just merely thinking that factory bugs would be worked out if I waited.

 

I work for a dealer that also has a Polaris dealership, they did the bulletin on my driveshaft and it 'seemed' better for a day or 2, but it's still noisy. I bought the warranty and figure if the drive shaft eats the frt diff, so what. Not the right attitude to have, but Polaris seems to think everything is fine. LOL

As far as clutching goes, we race ours and have had 0 issues racing, rock climbing, on and on. My biggest thing is I love the engine braking with the stock clutch and do NOT want to lose it. The only time I use the brake pedal is when I'm climbing a hill to keep it going straight! I use the gas pedal going down hills 99.9% of the time.

 

Patience is not a virtue. I wouldn't wait. Too much fun to be had. I've had zero issues with mine since October.

The heavy vibration in the drive shaft is not "fine" It is an engineering flaw.

 

Gentleman, I always appreciate the feedback.

Here is where I stand:

I am working a deal via email from Florida - heading back to Pittsburgh today.

Dealer has black pearl with a build date of 1/22/14..... Polaris financing approved. 1000.00 off retail. Polaris warranty 3 years, 1150 (retail is said to be 1540). Winch and brush guard about 750. I am planning on paying off anyway by October with some money coming in.

I want it, I really do. Anyone have any pics of black pearl de-stickered?

Thanks..

Doesn't seem like they will move much more.

 

for 22k otd...lol id get a used one next year for 35% lower price! way overpriced for what you get
