Title: Turning Radius
Post by: 2017450I on June 28, 2018, 01:50:47 PM

Hey all - question.

Anyone know of a way to tighten up the turning radius on the 450i?  I've heard it is the way it is to protect the cv but I have to end up making lots of 3 point turns or blazing my own trail on some of the tight stuff we ride (more for ATV's).  Would be a huge help for the trails and around the property. 

Thanks for any ideas.

    You heard right, I wanted the same thing, according to factory it is set that way for CV joint protection.  Polaris machines have a much tighter turn radius but look at the number of Cv joints they go thru!!  I have learned to use the 2wd drive to try and slide around a corner if at all possible, with the locked rear difff it is quite easy to gas it on and slide it around.  If you end up finding a way please let us know!!

Thanks both.....that's what I do now, keep it in 2wd and goose it!  Works good on the trails for the most part but not as easy on heavily wooded slow trails or around the property under load with the family.

I can appreciate not tearing up the CV's though.
