First i want to welcome you to the SideXSide site. In regards to your question this has been a debate that has gone on for years and every person has there own favorite UTV and if you spend about a half hour looking at similar threads on the SideXSide site you can see what i mean. The debate will always go on and on. If you are going to haul four plus passengers around there is only one Legal way to do it and that would be to get a Polaris Ranger Crew or any equivalent four passenger plus UTV built for this purpose. They do make kits for all makes of standard UTV's that convert the bed into a passenger area but that does not make them legal to carry people and if something happens it could cause legal issues for you, Now if i were going to do the non legal way i would look into the Ranger XP/HD for that purpose because of the bed size and its weight capacity, It is rated for 1000lbs in the box versus 500 or less with the competitors, remember when you add the seats and roll cage you need to deduct that weight along with the passengers as well. Till the other manufactures improve in there box capacity and size I will not recommend any of the others only for this reason as well as doing it illegally. I am sure others will chime in and argue about this point .

Have what you said and will have answer tomorrow.

Hey Jared, is that spray in bed liner you used the stuff from duplicolor or who makes it. how well is it bonding and holding up to the plastic because i am considering using it on the bed of my ranger xp. I do use it for hauling stuff in the bed and it is staring to show its age back there a little.

I found this a little bit interesting.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR SKU: 4011925 SUBSTITUTED BY 4012384 $86.31.
Wounder why they updated the part unless there was a problem with it  :?: .

You could maybe have a bad voltage regulator and Polaris has had issues with the 2008 location and moved it. yours could be bad because it has ran hot all of its life. The stator does not put full output till the RPM are up and very little at idle. low engine RPM can cause a charge light and turning the idle up could fix the problem. I would relocate the regulator as stated and put a full charge on the battery and raise the idle high enough that it doesn't go into gear hard. The RPM is in the manual and should be set with a meter if you have one but doing it by feel is good enough. Voltage at idle should be 13.5 or higher and With no load 14.5 to 14.8 at cruising speed. Engine Idle is 1150 RPM.

You may always get a little popping out of the exhaust going down the grade due to UN burnt fuel in the exhaust. As for the 11.2 volts that is low and a fully charged battery should not show that unless you are pulling to much amps and the stator and regulator is not keeping up. first thing first is adjust the TPS again and i will run the numbers and have an answer tomorrow. What i need to know is were are you testing for the known 11.2 voltage, that will help. also are you running anything after market other then what came with the factory unit power wise.

Polaris or whoever is buying the factory pumps from Bosch Taiwan and it is not easily available in the USA because it is not slated for automotive use. I think that this Airtex pump will work fine and it sure will beat the hell out of $450 a pop even if it needs an aftermarket fuel regulator it will save you and allot of others a lot of headaches down the road. What Polaris has done is take a $60 fuel pump and raised it 800% and chose one that would be hard to get for there benefit. It is there way to stick it to you after your big initial purchase from them and to make you come to them for the parts . A good money maker Idea would to reverse engineer this stuff and charge half the price and start a new business not just on Polaris replacement parts but other manufactures as well.
