I just picked up a new scrambler 850 and I’m looking to see if anyone has information on known issues with the 18-23 models. Just seeing if there is anything I can or should get ahead of or prepare for. It will be used for trail riding at medium to fast paced speeds. Lots of rocks where I ride so things tend to take a bit of a beating. Thanks for any insight!

The problems i have read involving the 850 scrambler are listed below but these can be avoided by doing proper maintenance.

So i would not even consider these as problems they can happen to any Quad, maintenance is the proper precaution and the key to the longevity of the Quad.

 

Problem Solution
Starter problems Check battery and starter connections; replace if necessary
Engine problems Regular maintenance; check oil and filters
EPS problems Check EPS fuse and connections; replace if necessary
Idle problems Adjust idle speed; check air filter
Clutch problems Adjust clutch; check belt for wear and damage
Steering problems Check steering components for damage and wear
Transmission problems Check transmission fluid level and condition
Hydraulic problems Check hydraulic fluid level and condition

      Wow...I packed a small soft side cooler with an ice pack  at -4 F and inserted my Type K thermocouple sensor inside so I could monitor the temperature without opening.  After 3 hours  the inside temperature was 60  F...OMG!   The ice pack  was solid frozen.   Standard temperature for safe storage is < 40 F.     What I found by asking was that there should be no air space in the cooler.  Packed with Ice preferably ice from connivence store (normally 0 F of less).  Food should take up  short day trip1:1 ratio.
      Good coolers are expensive.

      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      We rode here the day before the event. This is a DCNR state forest trail system. The story behind the name is miners would put their bottles of whiskey in the local springs to keep them cold until their shift was over. Part of the trail system is on old strip mines so some areas are barren, others are full forest.
