Do you want the short answer?
YES!!!!!!

As far as things to look into right away:
I'd get an aftermarket airbox like UMP or something...
and the rest is up to how badly you want to go faster than everyone else...lol
Turbo maybe???

Hey Max13, if you buy the extended warranty or I wouldn't put a aftermarket air cleaner on until the warranty expires. A lot of the dealers won't warranty the top end if you have a aftermarket air cleaner. I've been calling around thats what is being told to me. Reason for calling around is my local dealer is a shitty dealer and won't warranty my engine now cuz I put a KMS system on mine. I got screwed out of the 5 year extended warranty I paid for. They are a lot of fun. But after reading all the crap that has gone wrong with the RZR's I wish I would of bought a RHINO!!! Thats right a RHINO!!! I had one before the RZR and never had a problem one, 1000hrs + and going strong...My 08 RZR has 30hrs and the front hub pop & crackle. Dealers mechanic plays dumb like he can't hear it..Just surf around this forum and you will see all the issues the RZR has.. The Polaris RZR is not worth the money IMO!!!!

bngcustoms, there is absolutely NO comparison between a RZR and Rhino. None. Your problem is that you bought an 08, which had some issues. Those issues have been fixed for 09. As far as a RZR, Yes! buy one, if you want serious fun. They are like a mini baja buggy.

Don't get me wrong, but must be worth of money to you, nobody can answer honestly on this board for that. 90% people here like the RZr's no matter what, myself included. Is RZR perfect machine -- no, is Rhino, Terryx perfect machine --- no. Q is only , do you like to have fun and don't want look like farmer, RZR is the machine for it, but if you are farmer type Rhino or Terryx will make you happy with more cargo space and look more simular to John Deere UTV. IMHO

I would ask yourself if you have many places to ride it, close by, and if you have any friends or other people to ride with. Are you going to take it out every weekend?

hey max 13 hell yeh its worth the money i bet the crap out of mine every weekend climing hills that u cant get up on foot and it keeps going and iam got the stock air box and filter and have no problems at all 60 hours and still kicking a!!!

Call me a skeptic, but "Still kicking a!!! after 60 hours" doesn't convince me you're stock air box and filter have no problems. Other RZRs have needed rebuilds at like 100 hours; Are you sure yours has no premature ring wear right now? Seems best to check the compression every 20 - 30 hours to see how it's wearnig (at least for the first 100 hours or so) ... before it's too late and you get the big, bad surprise others on here have gotten.

Its not rocket science to be able to tell if your ingesting dirt... take a flash light pull out filter look in throttle body, no dirt or dusty film means all good.

ive got 400 miles on mine and i sealed my filter box and all connections to motor with rtv and its still shiney and new in there..
