 | Visco -Lok Does anyone know how to make the Visco-Lok engage faster? How much faster do the new ones engage? I ride Polaris but would consider an Outlander if I could make it a true 4wd quicker. Sometimes there is no room for one wheel to spin. |

 | Re: Visco -Lok Visco-loc is not adjustable beyond the design stages. It work very well most of the time and the times it does not work well is by design. Visco-loc works well except when one front wheel looses all traction very quickly and the other is not turning very fast. In these cases the front wheel with traction does not engage until the front wheel speeds are relativly close; this prevents drive line damage to the stopped front wheel from sudden engagement. Polaris discovered this problem when they held the rights to the visco-loc system (google Polaris Magnum RMK) and thus decided to refine their hillard system and leave visco-loc to their competition. IMO the visco-loc system is the best 4X4 system out there but comparing 4X4 to AWD is like comparing apples and oranges.

 | Re: Visco -Lok I know in the 08 Renegades and Outlander 800's they updated the Visco-loc to work faster. See on the BRP website.

| Re: Visco -Lok I've rode the 08 Outlander and it does hook up considerable quiker... I wish i could fix mine too, but you do get use to it and watch the front wheels turn before puching it (Renegade) or not ever completely letting off the throtle!
