95 Polaris RXL


Scupper

Recommended Posts

I'm going to look at a 95 Polaris RXL.
Any one know of these machines or anything I should be aware of?
It has 3000 miles and they are asking $2500.
They claim it is mint condition.
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks...

I agree with grousehunter.I think if you look around you can find something newer and or less miles for 2500 and you better know what to look for when its got 3000 miles on it.If you have to rebuild shocks,clutches,etc. it can get spendy.Besides that look outside what do you see?

Hey Scupper -

$2500 sounds a bit steep, unless the thing is in perfect condition.

RXL's are an OK sled, but be VERY careful to keep the battery in tip top condition. A weak battery can lead to a walk home, or a meeting with Mr. Squeaky on a cylinder. The fuel injection system need the battery to be at full charge.

The RXL was not the greatest sled Polaris ever put out, but well maintained they can be quite reliable. I have a riding buddy that had seven thousand trouble free miles out of one.

As it turned out,"MINT CONDITION" was in the eye of the owner. He had a new hood and mirrors put on it. I asked him why and he said a ladder fell on it. After some more talking and exchanging war stories of high speed, I felt this one is better suited for someone else. He also said the battery was brand new - 3 years ago. It wasn't a bad sled but not what I'm looking for. As far as the price, I feel he would of come down substantialy.
Again guys, thanks for the input. It's good to have opinions good or bad.
Scupper.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
