505 Outsiders Ride from Lake City

An interesting video at serious elevation. The Torque Boost issue shows up again.

Seems like Polaris should be updating their transmission tuning. Unacceptable.

Yes I can confirm I’ve been in that exact situation numerous times. Mine always had mud on the tires

Any idea if this 1500 has the October updates?

No clue.......they did an earlier video on Engineer Pass and had the same problem. I'm a flatlander in Iowa and have never experienced anything like this in my area.

I watched the engineers pass video and would agree, unacceptable.
Though we do not have the elevations even close we do however have several places where we have to spoil up the rpms to engage the transmission and then back off the throttle a little. I have gotten accustomed to it . Wish we had a low range.

In 2005 we took a western adventure with a 660 Rhino, a Raptor and YFZ 450 quads. The Rhino and Raptor did not have fuel injection so had to be jetted for the elevation. All 3 went up the same road to engineers pass with no issue.

Saw in this video's comments they did not have the latest updates but do now and are going to test it again. It will be interesting to see what if any difference the updates make.
