They are stiff as hell when they are new.

 

They shoot up easily enough, require a bit more effort to get back down. Make sure you're pulling the release thing the right way!

 

I let it sit over night and now it works! Im sure I was pulling the lever the right way I was afraid of breaking it

 

I had some problems too.Awhile back while riding i had stopped for beer break and when i got back on my steering wheel was all the way up.So i pulled it back down,rode a little further and stopped once again to shoot some video,got back on and it was all the way up again.By this time i was counting my empty cans i was carrying along to see if that was where the problem was at.But there just wasnt quite enough empties to justify my problem so i pulled the steering wheel back down,cracked open another beer,and focused video camera on steering wheel.It was only then that i realized that the beer was tasting real good but that i did have a steering problem.I ended up replacing the steering shock for $100.00.

 

mine is stuck in the "unlock" position. it stays all the way up and will not lock when i release the lever.

 

Mine did the same thing. Take it off and do some adjusting to the lever that releases the shock. You will probably find that the lever is not adjusted properly.

 

Expensive shocks also. Someone told me they were $100.00

 

mine froze and wouldn't lock but it was 5 degrees

 

Mine did the same thing when it was -20 degrees here a few days ago. Once I brought it in the garage and thawed it out it started locking again like it is supposed too. I've also noticed that it doesn't want to lock if it gets really dirty too. :rollfinger:

 

Yup, mine stuck too. Dealer replaced it on warranty.

 

This is a major liability for polaris and they should address this problem ASAP. this could easily cause someone to lose control while driving!

 

Mine will stay locked but when I adjust it, it unlocks and doesnt lock again, but this only happens when it is cold out like Pegleg said.

 

Davemn41, how do your Tatou Tracks work in the deep stuff? got a set myself, but haven't had a chance to play.

 

Mine stuck right where I like it and I don't regularly adjust it. It kinda sucks for others that want to adjust it but they should get thier own RZR. No way its worth a $100 to me to replace it.

 

Just take it off and clean it real good with brakeclean around the button while working it in and out then oil it with a small amount of very light oil. May also need some adjustment. Very simple fix.

 

Work great, we only got about 2' here, unless you count drifts, but either way it only sinks in about 8 inches or so and our snow is quite fluffy right now. Havent been afraid to take it anywhere. I will get some action shots this weekend hopefully. Ill keep you posted or check out My Minnesota RZR in member rides.

 

I had the same problem while hunting!!! I figured it was the cold considering that my bump stops were frozen and every time i hit a bump there was a loud popping noise... But when the steering wheel kept going up i took my glove off and held the valve!! After about 3 min. It worked again!!

 

I haven't adjusted mine in some time. Yesterday I move it and it would not lock in position. I pull it off today and the pin was rusted, I spray it with WD-40 and lossen the pin up but still won't lock must be a spring inside the shaft that is hanging up.Before paying a $100.00 I will make a spacer.
Another thing for Polaris to address, no way to keep the moisture out need a seal.
