Great video. Lots and lots of detail. Thank you.

The "long throttle" you talked about makes driveability and power dosage so much smoother

@Tristan Bull Yes it does make for smoother power, it just takes some getting use to after driving other brands that are much shorter feeling..

Would recommend getting non stock tires for better traction?

Got my 500 several months ago and wasn’t too pleased with a few of the things you mentioned.. after some time I realized I like the backwards shifter because while on the trails it’s forward and away from my elbow. I also did a 2” lift with spacers and really started to mess around with the shock tuning. It’s now a completely different machine after messing with the shocks. Super smooth ride, where before you almost felt the need to wear a mouth guard with factory settings. Great value @ $9,499 regardless!

@@osutx427 I’m not sure if your talking to me or @Max Prusak but I’m my opinion the 500 has plenty of power to push this 50” suspension. If your trails are not restricted to 50” and you don’t mind spending a little more cash I would go the next step up to the 60” 800

How you haven't gain anymore subscribers is beyond me! Great video as always 👍 I was wondering if you come across the older Suzuki king quad 300 4x4 or the arctic cat equivalent?

It has about a 7 gallon fuel tank. It all depends on how you drive it and the terrain your in, but if your on logging road type of trails I would expect 20mpg. I usually would be filling up at 80-100 miles though just to be safe.

Stage little sxs . The gear selector is backwards compared to a truck or car . Just stage . No dimmable gauge is strange. That switching is weird. Ground clearance sucks for an off road vehicle. Hitch receiver sticks out too far and is too thin of steel. It will bend. My buddy bought an ATV I think it's the 400. Plastic fender fasteners , low quality. Overall just cheap build IMO. Good video keep them coming I watch them all.

The gear selector is strange, you would think they’d have it like a vehicle.. I’ve never ran one of these for a long period of time so I’m not sure how they do hold up. You do have to consider that the msrp on this is $9500 right now and the cheapest Polaris RZR is $15,500 so there’s quite a savings. But like anything you get what you pay for… I appreciate the feedback, I’m glad your enjoying the content!
