My only problem with my 12' has been with the air box lid seal which I took care of with an Alba inbox pod filter kit.

I have a 2012 XP4 LE and have not had any issues in first 700 miles. We ride California desert and dunes both. No problems with the air box seal but I do use pre-filters on vents and it does reduce dirt/sand getting to filter.

 

I ride mainly rocky trails and have no issues yet(700+) miles.

 

Speaks for us as well.....12' XP4

I think the air box lip. You need to make sure you get the lid on good at the bottom. Do not let any dirt in. Second is high centering. You hit right under the rear seat cross member. I am thinking about using some angle to box this in. Or you could buy a HD skid plate. If you ride in the woods, built some tree bumpers on the side and rear finders. That's about it. I am adding a Polaris stage kit and taller tires,

 

Racer Tech or any other shock manufactuers med rate or stiffer springs solve this problem. Once you load the stock machine with (4) people it drops 3 inches and the spring rate is way off so you can bottom out or scrape real easy. With the after market springs installed, it only drops an inch or so and the spring rate reacts properly to stop most of those issues.

Thanks Matt

I will check into the springs. Mine came with Walker Evens 2.5 on back and 2.0in front. I added about one inch more compression on the stock springs setting than factory.

 

Just to keep adjustments clear for everyone, that's "pre-load" you're referring to and not compression. You do compress the spring more or less when adjusting the pre-load but the actual compression is adjusted with the clicker knob on the top of the shock. I have a '13 xp 4 and the suspension is way too stiff for normal trail riding, it comes set up for dune riding stock. This is my biggest complaint of the machine. Love it otherwise.

 

Going down to buy a 2014 rzr xp4 900. Any thing I should look for?

I have yet to get hung up on the radius rods, they are in my list to upgrade before ROTR. Trailing arms have got me a few times tho. I dunno if I could go Sunday maybe.
I'll see what the wife has planned for New Years that might work!

 

I bought a 2014 and haven't been able to use it once. due to some throttle sensor. Dealer has had it twice and not fixed it properly. Do not yet know if this is a common issue, but I read it was common on some 2013s. needless to say I'm not happy at the moment

 

Now that I think about it they did replace that sensor by the throttle pedal on mine no issues since.

 

My only problem was the air box seal and I handled that with a Double Down Intake and Super Seal Kit from Desert Molding Concepts.

 

My only problem has been sucking dirt which is a huge problem for me. Other than that problem free for 2300 miles. Love everything else about my Xp.

 

I really hope to have some of these problems you guys mention. It'll mean I've actually been able to use my RZR

 

Over 1500 miles on my '12 with zero issues. It's been THE best toy I've ever bought, with a huge fun factor that includes the family. I'll be looking to upgrade the springs this year, though, as I've seen the same sag and easy bottom tendencies the last 500 miles. I've only changed fluids and air filter. Great machine!!

 

Only two issues:

1.) Had to replace the cooling fan because it burned out after being caked in mud (warranty)
2.) 18 year old son rolled it and bent cage

 

My 2014 900 4 with 15hrs currently in the shop. Check engine light comes on as soon as i hit the gas then the engine cuts out. Funny thing is the dealer cant recreate the issue and says it is working fine and they have ran it for more than 2hrs. Is this the throttle cable sensor you guys are referring to could be the problem?

 

Yeah that sounds like the TPS sensor.

 

Just wanted everyone to know. Since I sold my arctic cat and bought a used 2013 xp4 900, I have not had any issues. Over 500 miles in the dunes and zero issues. I am so happy I made the switch to Polaris ! Happy guy right here !

Zero problems,
Unbelievable amounts of fun !!

 

No problems with my 2014 . Shocks need some adjusting . I'll do that this spring when the weather is better

I agree Plumber . Doggone snow ever let's up I'm gonna do some adjusting. Ride a little , adjust a little.

The front shocks seem to be jacked up a bit much and the rears look to be in a good spot.

Don't know alot about shocks gonna follow some advice I read on here. I do agree with your statement.


Alex

 

I have a 2012, ran it for two seasons now. Noticed that the front diff is leaking on the right side axle seal. Searched a bit and few others with the same issue. Read its a $70 fix as Polaris only sells the seals as a kit even though you only need one.

 

No issues with mine other than me wanting to buy stuff for it all the time.
