2009 Polaris Scrambler 500 Test

- Lighter then a utility with the versatility of all wheel drive, the 2009 Polaris Scrambler 500 has remained mainly unchanged since 1997 but still has all the performance needed for year round fun out on the trail.
Who else watching this in 2020
Polaris is the worst atv ever made.

This is a fun ride. I bought one a few years back to add to my collection. I have a brute force, a honda 450 and a KFX 700. This is by far my favorite ride. NOTE: You will not win drag races with this bike. ON a sand dune you might hit 65 if your lucky. However, if want to ride tight trails and jump the bumps it's a blast. The shock travel is sweet. For PURE speed buy a sport rocket, but for overall fun I would suggest the scrammie.
wrsawy is that mph
Watch the video again. It's explained and demonstrated very well. It even shows the switch.
I just got one a 98 and I love it so far
Kept me plenty entertained my friend has one and i rode it pretty hard this weekend harder than he usually does jumping and going through mud it handled amazing and has plenty of power.
So many things have changed since then man time flys even though I was Barely 3 in 2009
Seems decent. Had a renegade 800x but sold it last year. For 1000$ why not, looks like a fun quad
the looks are great on these bikes.. besides the headlights.. and they hold up real good.. the only thing is the chain in the back.. it dont break all the time but in to much of pressure and there it goes
I have a fmf megamax in my scrambler and had a fantastic sound
I hope some of yall are still alive after these comments which are 11 yrs old. My question is how much power can be had out of the 2 stroke vs 4 stroke engines on these similar models?
No, it can be switched between two and four wheel drive.
it is a great atv i have a 2004 polaris 500
i have one and i love it. im going to be racing a 400ex soon it has a pipe and mins stock. mins a 05
well there is the can am renegade but its way too expensive so i bought a scrambler 500 and very happy with its performance
thanks very much. i posted the comment before i watched the vid and saw it. lol.
this thing is freaken perfect if you wanna go mudding, do some jumping and go thru creeks with ease... niceness...
If you want four wheel drive you will have to go up to at least a 350. All of the manufacturers make 4x4s in this displacement range.
I want to get a quad, UNLIMITED BUDGET
but i want someting good but also worth the money, i dnt want a big one like 500cc
i wanna stick to 250cc any reccomandations reply
@ATVonDemand nope theres a suzuki 250cc 4x4 king quad
@ababyduck1337 Yea I heard those TRX's are pretty beast. I think they are like rivals with the Raptor
awesome in snow and u can put a plow winch and racks on them i live in wisconsin to its awesome for around here i got to wausau and black river never had a problem
@lbgarg2686 well it realy depends on what you want it for. the scrambler is more racing influenced and the gade is more trail/mud/ rock influenced. if i had a choice i would get the gade, only because like mud. but i own a scrambler and i love it for racing. awd pulls through corners like nothing you would ever get on a 2wd sport quad. the gade also sits higher with a higher center of gravity so its more tippy but better clearence
i have a stock 04 scrambler and it goes 65-70 tops
i know its a 4x4, but is that all the time? or is it on a switch like on my utility atv?
I had a red 01 new. Probably my favorite ATV I ever owned. Didn't have it all that long though and sold it. Had probably 5 ATVs at the time and was regularly buying and selling them. My dad is a car dealer and we have for years bought at insurance auctions late model cars with damage to fix in our body shop and sell. Well there was always ATVs coming through too. Most were stolen and recovered. I had a Blaster, Warrior, Foreman, and I think I had that other Polaris then too think it was called a Trail Boss didn't like that turd at all. All of them were no more then 2 years old besides the Blaster that was an 89. I have been thinking about getting one of the new Scramblers. Wish there were more sport 4x4 out there basically just the Scrambler and Renegade. I guess there is the Kymco Maxxer and the Artic Cat which is just a Kymco and they are both only 450s, if they could offer that same 450 and maybe bump it up to 750 or so to have at least some other competition. There are other sporty variations of more utility models like the Grizzly and Sportsman. Yamaha discontinued the Wolverine and now the name is on a SxS. Maybe they could rename it and come out with a better machine. Seems like one of the hottest categories would think there would be a bit more competition. I don't think I have ever seen the Artic Cat/Kymco in person seen them in magazines and online. Never seen one in the dealers. Guess so much attention goes to SxS. I do have a Can Am Commander 1000 XT, still have that old Warrior too but I haven't actually rode it in probably 12 years.
JesseLJohnson there amazing quads!!!! But I need irs in a quad as the trails we ride on can be really rough… I ride a 99’ Sportsman
I have a 1998 Scrambler 400 4x4 two stroke that is insanely fast and will do 70MPH before you can think straight. It is a beast. I also have a 2001 Scrambler 500 2x4 that is very fun to ride. I would always prefer 4x4 but it hasn't seen a hill it cannot climb. The scramblers are the most fun of any ATV on the market. My 2001 Arctic Cat 300 4x4 will go anywhere and do anything I need. Only about 50MPH top out but who goes that fast trail riding? The Arctic Cat is manual with 15 speeds. Will go anywhere and do anything. My hunting and fishing ride. Nothing like riding a scrammy though.
62 after market and you can a few miles extra,, its a very heavy quad.
@watnowpeers The Predator is a nice bike.... I aint doubting that. I remember when I wanted one of them since I was like 4 but then I learned that the Rappy's were pretty sick bikes too so... idk
Anybody have a opinion on witch is better the 4 stroke or 2 stroke?
One year later it changes.
We think they should bring this mahcine back with some new styling, suspension and clutching. Polaris could use a more affordable sport 4x4.
@@ATVonDemand I agree, I love my 02 500 though
is it possible to eliminate the oil injection and just mix it your self i had a trail blazer it always went bad on it ?
My trailblazer the oil injection so bad , its smokin to much
yeah i saw that lol. at the time, i just woke up. also, i posted the comment before watching the video.
very informative, thank you.
anyone know the topspeed of a scrambler??
Do people actually listen to the video? The ride doesn't have a low gear, it's an all wheel drive system. The bike is slow, it doesn't do 70. (not it's design). Its a four stroke, one cylinder. It's very very heavy. It's a fun ride, tops out at maybe 62. But if you want to race, go really fast and shift a half a million times, this is not your ride. Easy to work on. Nice in the dunes or wooded trails. Stay away from deep water!!!
@Drfat4 Scrammys are fast, dont you think around 60mph is fast? If you dont think it's fast you havn't been riding long enough, you will never hit a straight away that will let you do 60mph. Besides, scramblers will smoke a 300ex and a 400ex easily your pops scrambler must be broke if you can beat him on a 300ex. My 400 2T will take a 400ex any day.
Sweet
it wouldve helped if i actually watched the video. I didn't end up buying one of these those, I got a honda 400ex
@CrimsonBloodStar Grab a Renegade, if you want this get the 650. If you want something faster get the 800, or wait for the 1000.
@Drfat4 no it does not. ive raced a 300ex with many mods. not even close.
u want 2x4 get a trailboss its a 330
what is the round thing on the other side of the muffler?
@andyman14134 not really The raptor comes in a 700 and Renegade comes in 800 hell even Kawasaki had their KFX 700. 500 is not a big quad and hasn't been for a while now
I feel more stable and confident on my Scrambler 400 than I do these new giant machines. Using your body weight or “ body English” is virtually useless on a big ole sportsman ect ect. The scrambler is the perfect compromise between sport and 4x4 utility quads. I wish I had bought mine Years ago! Also these big heavy new machines are tore all to hell if you roll one backwards down a hill. Total loss. One thing I liked about sport quads is when they roll or something it bends the handlebars and that’s about it. These old scramblers should be about the same with minimal damage.
Is this useble on the too? no big tours but maybe 100-200km
@1970transam01 that's tool case
AWD and 4x4 wheel drive are not the same thing awd is computer controlled 4x4 is not
The AWD in the Polaris is not computer controlled, it's all mechanical
no not realy cause the renegades are not chain driven in the rear.. better go with the renegade
are you sure it dosent have high and low??
Emplacement numéro de châssis
That looks like a nice comfortable reliable atv... But AH what the heck... We all know a Raptor 700r would dust that thing for practice before a real race. Or just for fun. I know that the Raptor and the Scrambler both are different types of atvs but Im just saying... Nah Im just rubbin it in... IN YO FACE POLARIS!! lol just kidding
@bauuau18 500cc is big?
I have both a scrambler 400 and 500 they are both 97 and nice bikes. The 400 is definitely faster 75 80 mph easy remember a 400 2 stroke the 97 500 I have has a.spedometer and it will go about 62 but with a pipe and other Addons they are fast
1;45 shows him switch it
i used to have one but then my dad sold it i was so pissed :(
@rocky2win same damn thing
@andyman14134 not overly a raptor 660/700 would destroy them
@FinnScCo LOL
@MyNamesMatTheFatRat you can take them off
NO way,,,,, a stock scrammie is lucky to hit 62. No way it does 70
...olk
Oil
lol i thought it sais shit at the beginning
2 most boring things in life, clean a toilet and drive an automatic atv..
Never got feedback from the actual riders👎👎
