Which Types of Wheels for The Polaris RZR

The wheels on an ATV can be one of the defining and most customizable pieces on it. Tweaking the engine may increase performance but it lacks any real eye appeal and the opposite is true when changing the paint or frame. They make it look better but there’s a good chance that nothing changed in terms of performance. That is why the wheels are one of the most important parts of the ATV to really make sure you have what you want on there. They have a major affect on the performance and feel of the vehicle and also make it look all the better.
The Polaris RZR has a huge amount of selection when it comes to getting the right wheels for your ATV. These wheels range from 12 inches to 15 inches with each wheel serving its own specific purpose. The more basic wheels serve as simple, effective, all purpose wheels that may not do anything particularly well, but they do pretty much anything with some type of efficiency. Other tires like the Buckshot rims with 26 inch vision trail finder tires are unique in many ways. These in particular have a automotive-inspired, 8-spoke Buckshot design that gives excellent mud, trail and off-road performance.
Of course tires increase performance and make your ATV a much smoother and pleasant vehicle to actually use. Yet, there is another purpose for these tires and that the looks. Nothing beats having brand new tires and to go along with them, some brand new rims that show off just how much you put into the vehicle. Now clean rims aren’t exactly the most common things you’ll see when looking at ATV’s but just having a set of 14 inch bruiser rims sets that ATV out from the rest of them.
While looking to customize your Polaris RZR, there will always be more to get and to tweak. That’s is just making the ATV yours and separating it from the pack. To really call an ATV your own, you almost have to customize, change, and tweak. When looking to do just that, remember the wide selection of tires and rims available for the Polaris RZR. Getting the right set tires is juts another step on the way to making that ATV what you want it to be. To read more on 2011 Polaris RZR Parts

Polaris RZR Air Filter

One of the most repeated complaints about the 2008 Polaris RZR was that the air filter assembly was inadequate. The problem was that the seal between the filter housing and intake was very poor and thus let dirt and debris past the filter and into the engine. Others reported that dirt was getting past the seal between the lid and filter housing. With the location of the Polaris RZR air intake housing, it is prone to getting bombarded by dirt, mud, dust, and sand that are kicked into it by the back tires. Most owners that caught the problem early enough and avoided engine failure cured it with an aftermarket air filter assembly, but that can be pricey. Eventually, this became so widespread a problem that Polaris recalled the filter assemblies on most f the 2008 RZR models and provided an updated replacement free of charge. Because of this, when the 2009 RZR model came out it was fitted with a newly designed filter assembly made to solve the problem. The biggest design change here is the new intake boot and larger filter, and it seems to have made everyone happy. However, there are still claims of very fine dust making its way past the filter assembly and into the housing, but these are few and far between. Some owners still prefer the aftermarket air filter systems for other reasons such as increased air flow or better filters, but overall it seems that most feel that the 2009 air filter housing design fixed the problem. Polaris did not issue a filter assembly recall for the 2009 models, so chances are they are sealed up tight. However, if you have a 2008 model RZR and were unaware of the problem before, take the time to make sure there is no dirt or debris getting past the filter lid or intake boot. If so, address the problem immediately; even the smallest amount of dirt can lead to a shorter engine life.
