Default Problem with new bike ( sportsman 500)

So my new sportsman 500 ( I picked up 2 weeks ago and have only put on about 50 miles) has a plug in the tire!
I was cleaning the bike today and thats when I saw the patch job on my " new bike ".
The bike had about 4 miles on it from the dealership and in that time they got a flat tire and tried to slip it by me.
What should I do?
I think the dealership should replace the tire free of charge, am I right to think thats what should happen?

bring it RIGHT back to the dealer. damn right you're entitled to a NEW tire on your BRAND NEW ATV.

oh, by the way, don't forget to mention what they tried to pull-over on you in the CSI survey Polaris sends you in a few weeks.

DAMN those rotten dealers! you'd think they'd show you some type of RESPECT and APPRECIATION for your business!!

Well I got my new tire today. The dealer was more than willing to replace it.
I was so happy that I had to buy tube bumpers for the front and rear [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

GREAT! now that's more like it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

now get-out and ride that awesome machine![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

nice bumper choice. i bought the wrinkle finish brush guard for the front and double tube for the rear. the front looks a little tricky to install though.

The instructions that came with the front tube bumper made the install look alot harder than it was, I assume that the brush guard will be the same.
I also went with the black winkle finish, the bumpers make the bike look alot meaner [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
