Hey guys I have a 2020 xp1000 with around 2.7hrs on it. When riding yesterday I noticed that when shifting from low to high was difficult. Machine was completely motionless foot on brake. But when I go from low to neutral then to high it's fairly easy. Is this normal?

Mine is in the shop for clutch issue again There is another recall this being the 3 rd, the unit stalls, gets stuck in gear, accelerates by itself Even while standing on the brake it’s accelerating. I have to act quick and turn the ignition off. The unit feels like a hunk of junk. I’m so disappointed with Polaris. For near $30k one would think they’d take more pride manufacturing. So now it’s a week I don’t have my machine. I’m sorry I gave up my Kubota. 🤨

The service manager at the Polaris dealer where I bought my XP1000 told me the following: "Polaris has a poor design in the shift. I've seen people actually break the shift trying to go from Low to High. Listen to me closely, ALWAYS shift from Low back to Park, then go from Park direct to High". She (yeah "she", she knew her stuff too) told me that trying to shift from Low to High direct would be a problem, that you need to always come to a stop, then take it back from Low all the way to Park, then from Park all the way to High.
