GENERAL RUMBLE IN THE POLARIS GENERAL Dear Sarge, I have a 2017 Polaris General. Since it was new, there has been a low-frequency rumble between about 25 and 40 mph. I also have a paint-spray-can rattle that seems to be intermittent. Polaris is telling me a noise is not a defect. The dealer said they all do that because the drive shafts are not balanced. Sarge, can you balance the drive shafts to reduce or eliminate this annoying rumble? One final thing: How come your magazine didn’t report on this obviously prevalent…

The XX will be available to consumers sometime in mid 2018 with a much more reasonable…

Arctic Cat and Polaris elevate the 60-inch sport UTV to new heights with the introduction of the 2015 Wildcat Sport 700 (tested February 2015) and RZR S 900 (tested January 2015), respectively. The two new machines have among the best power-to-weight ratios in the industry. The heavier 60-inch UTVs make up for the slightly lower numbers with more suspension travel and ground clearance, plus higher cornering speeds due to the increased width. We’ve spent a lot of time with both sport UTVs and decided to shoot them out at the…
