Shock clicker backed all the way off to soft causing body roll? I can run my xp 1000 to 85+ mph on loose gravel and still feel fine.

 

Check the toe. My XPT was toed out a little when I got it and it felt the same way. My steering wheel was a little crooked too so I went 1 full turn on one tie rod and it made a huge difference. If your steering wheel is straight then try a half turn on each tie rod.

 

The wheel is straight. What are you running for actual toe in in the front and do you want any toe in the rear?

The shocks were set at 6 clicks from the bottom. We upped them but didn't have time to test drive it again. One of the guys we rode with at 70 mph said the same thing. He ran his maxed out.

 

Per the Maintenance Manual you want 1/8" / 3/16" TOE OUT.
Riding on the dirt is of course completely different than the pavement.
Typically on the pavement your looking for a slight toe in, not on the dirt.

 

I set mine with a 1/8 inch toe in. I used that setting on all my toys. it runs straight as a arrow

 

What tires? Jack it up and see what's loose.

 

Another question. Why on earth would you buy a RZR if you have a 100mph sand car???

 

It's an all motor race gas 2.5 hp per ci sbc single four Australian pro stock type engine. 15.5 compression and 1.00" lift cam at 10,200 rpm. It cost about $200 a minute to operate. Being a single seat drag car with no suspension, it's not really a practical trail rig. But running 3.09@104 makes it a killer on the track. And the wife wanted something she could drive was the biggest reason.

 

That sounds like a hair raiser.

Not sure what the problem might be but it should be obvious if it's as bad as you say it is.

 

Two thoughts, first is to check the steering rack. My Rzr had the same issue till I replaced the rack. I'll not it still didn't fix and I found there is an addition bushing up near the steering wheel that needed replaced too.

One more thought, you may want to swap with a fellow Rzr rider for a few minutes. You may be accustom to ultra tight straight line cars and this may more normal than you think.

I wouldn't think that this is the problem but rear toe out makes a sand car do crazy things.

Did you ever get the RZR handling better?

I finally had a chance to measure the toe on mine and I actually have it toed in a little more than an 1/8"

I know the spec says it should be toed OUT a little, but mine definitely handles and tracks better with it toed IN. It is an easy 2 minute adjustment that you can change back if you don't like it. Doesn't hurt anything to try it.

 

Mine drives the same as original poster. I feel like im gonna die over 50+ squirrely as heck! Im toed in 1/8" and shocks set in middle. It sways side to side like crazy. Feels like the rear tires are trying to crawl up under it. So I drive slow.

 

Sounds about right. 11 inch tires at the rear, skinny 8 inch at the front. You right the rear axle is trying to overtake the front.

Still drives like crap trying to go straight. Great for corners but your not going straight anywhere fast. Shocks at full stiff and all over in between. All different tire pressures. Toed in and out. Death ride 2016.

 

Try it with no power steering what happens maybe something there?

 

Straight Shooter, give the shock therapy and pound sand (they live to tune suspension weather UTV, ATV or bikes) an IM to ask whats up but they are probably in the desert jamming this weekend.

Good luck

 

I would definitely adjust your toe to factory specs with you and a passenger. I had this same problem ...It is your toe setting

 

I hadn't tried it with the weight on board. I will check it.

 

Yes it has to be set at your riding weight it will change a lot from the free weight especially if your ride height is set high like most from the factory.
I would run the ride height in the front at 13.5 and the rear at 13 or even a little less but keep the nose .5 inch higher.This is measured with no passengers Do this before you set the toe. I set mine at 1/16 or 1/8 toe out

Good luck

 

The front tires are taller than the rear. Under acceleration in AWD the front should be pulling more than the rear. This should make it drive really straight.

 

When the switch ismon, AWD only engages when the rear wheels lose traction and start to spin. When the rear wheel regain traction, the AWD disengages and free wheels again and does no pulling so I don't see how having AWD engaged or not makes again difference in handling under normal riding conditions.

 

Are you driving in 2wd or 4wd? 4wd is much more stable. 2wd gets sketchy at higher speeds.

 

In AWD. I expected 2WD to be squirrely.

 

any updates on this?

 

Makes me wonder if AWD is funtioning. A lot of things come to mind, like the round wishy-washy stock tires. A good set of truck-type tires helped settle my car down, but then again, I could run 80 on the lake bed with the stock setup and it didn’t do anything like you describe.

However, if I were in 2wd, it would act a lot like you say. Looks like a pretty old thread. Is the OP still out there?
