Default Polaris Predator problems

Has anyone had problems with the Predator or has anyone broke anything that should have not broke? Now I will be going to pick up the Predator this Tuesday or Wednesday. I have a 3 acre track in my backyard with Jumps,Berms, and a few whoops. People stop and ask if they can ride sometimes. I am not going to race the Predator, except in the yard and maybe a track down the road, i am just going to ride the trails and just have fun.

The 04s are holding together nicely, i have had mine for a few months now. no problems, trans shifts nice,neutral is easy to find.

I haven't heard or seen 04 preds breaking things nor have i seen any unhappy owners.


Good Luck.

P.S. When you take your predator for its first ride, i hope you have nothing to do the next day cause you wont want to get off it...

Make sure to get your spare oil filter, and PS4 oil so you can get your first break-in oil change out of the way.

'03's had some issues, but it sounds like the '04's are cured. Just remember that when you see god, let off the throttle and hit the brakes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

On the '03 be sure to use the clutch when shifting. They have been known to explode the tranny when shifting hard with no clutch. I always use the clutch and have had no problems with my '03 and I XC race it.
