I have a 91 RXL EFI and have had no problems at all. Why do so many people change to carbs?
Wow bud, you sound bitter.Originally posted by dodger
[br]I had my 92 in to the wonderfull Polaris dealer in Greenville Michigan twice,($200+) and they couldn't get it to work. When RXLs run they are a riot and they fly across the lake. That said it was still the worst sled I have ever owned. You people can have them
-mine was always stored in a heated garage
-RXLS are heavy lead sleds
-very expensive parts (75 dollar filter if I remember right)
-A battery every year
But they did sound cool if you could get them started
Mine did get converted to carbs (the dumpster received a hundred pounds of parts I think)[attachment=51320]
75$ for a filter, that aint right. what kind of filter are you talking about? me and my dad both love allll of our efi sleds, we have my 92 indy 500 thats a efi 8k (only replaced a tbi sensor once), a 96 rxl 6k never a problem, and he has his new 04 f7 efi, never have had a problem with any of them. there all great sleds and always get a perfect mixture of air and gas at ANY tempeture. pretty soon there wont be too many carbed sleds in the future (just my opinion dont take it for a fact) there all going to be efi, like cars.Originally posted by dodger

No, they used the entire system Injection Research Specialists developped in conjunction with Polaris. IRS actually had a contract with Polaris to develop the system, but Polaris backed out halfway through the deal shortly after a former IRS employee was hired on by Polaris to, "Cultivate their interest." Then a year later introduced the RXL with the full system. The law suit was filed in the early 90's and drawn out till 97'. The last year of the 500 EFI and the RXL. Artic Cats EFI was also developped in conjunction with Injection Research and the same thing happened to Injection Research there as well. So the company sued them as well, but the claim was beyond the statute of limitations for such a case. The same system was used for many years in both companies and all IRS got out of it was 34 million.Originally posted by pinkpower33
[br]Dont get me wrong, the RXL was not a machine to be taken lightly, I loved it when it ran, what a machine, but it was so tedious with the repairs, mechanic only, and downtime, I just lost appreciation for it. I do recall the price list for everything to. the dealer tried hard at fixing it, he tried everything right down to new clutches, but nothing worked. I ended up selling it thru the swap sheet, and when I did sell it, I think the only reason this guy bought it was because he had the scan tool for it, and had the time to tinker it.But i will NEVER buy another polaris EFI, that was built in the 90's. Remember the big lawsuit polaris had for using the set up?? Polaris had infringed on someboy's patent, but i dont think they used all of the parts, and maybe thats why they never truely worked, they only used half the parts, LOL Oh, and the dealer that was fixing MY RXL, he had one also, a 93, and all he kept telling about his was "Sure is a pretty sled" and he would smile
