What is this QE that everyone is talking about?

QE = Quick Engagement

The standard Visco take about four revolutions to start limiting slip, and the QE, or quick engaging, takes about three quarters of a turn.

Oic. I thought it was a turn and a half to engagement. Learn something every day. This list of things to do is sure getting long! Maybe someone will eventually come out with some kind of a locker for it. Thanks for the info.

Depending on how u ride, u may not need a qe. It's mostly for mudders and technical situations.

Welcome to the site.

My 2013 Maverick is just the visco lok, right? The QE was added in 2014?

On the XRS correct

Both are considered visco-loc (viscus fluid engagement) the q.e just engages quicker.

It is also better for turning if you have Power steering with the locking front diff's

A QE is what imploded on my rig.

It's also a part that BRP may not warranty, for reasons unknown.

I also have to buy a new diff case since the original one has holes in it from the implosion.

Jony did u get rid of your Mander?

Sure did, a few months ago.

I am new to Can-Am. I like Honda and Kawasaki the best when it comes to 4wheels, but the RZR moved me into the SXS. Since Polaris is only listening to desert people my friends and I are looking at the XXC. The only stopping point is the stinking Visco-Lok whether QE or not. Seen to many non-QE front difs exploded on rocky trails at Windrock (specifically trail 12).

Before we step into a XXC I would like to know more about how the VL QE works. Anyone know any technical videos showing the operation of the QE?

Also, is there a mod to make it on-demand or AWD or at least make it apply faster?
