One of the more interesting observations,
"
The Polaris Sportsman lineup is probably one of the most vehemently defended ATV lines, regardless of all of the "character that the owners and mechanics of Polaris' models enjoy.
"
None of the brands have a lock on title of the best...they all have faults.

It looks like a common theme is that larger-than-stock aftermarket wheels and tires cause problems!! Other parts (both suspension and transmission parts) WILL break if they aren't upgraded as well.

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>None of the brands have a lock on title of the best...they all have faults</end quote></div>

that all depends on your definition of "all have faults". some faults are greater than others. what ruined any credibility for me is the comment about the Rubicon's gearing being too tall and you have to regear it or reclutch it??? Low range ESP 1st is as low as anything out there.
