I currently own a pol 500 sportman 500 le. I am not happy with the sevice of my dealer. Warranty stuff. Trans clunking on take off, they say that's normal, bull, I ride with all Polaris and none clank the trans.I am ready to go a different route. I like the BF 650, I would really like a true V-TWIN, not POL parallel twin, and the KQ 700 look's sweet.I am mainly trail riding, some snow, not deep, some mud, no mud bog's, mainly fire trail's logging road's in WVA. The best all around riding. Thank's for any input.

 

That clunking is DEFINATELY not normal, you should find another dealer. If your looking to trade the kingquad is suppose to offer a smooth ride and, I dont know much about the BF, other than its suppose to be powerful. I think I would take kingquad, its looks better imo, but take a test ride

 

Ive seen alot of Polaris guys jumping ship lately. My buddy did also, as his 700 fell apart underneath of him in a matter of days. Mabey just alot of lemons popped of the assembly line?

 

polaris is falling apart because of tom tiller their ceo. he came from general electric and their tactic over there was carried over to polaris unfortunately. they use sweatshop techniques. they work the employees so hard to get the product out the door that quality is always a grey area. between quality and just getting it out the door. then they lay the ppl off for so long to save money. the employees are unhappy and don't hardly get minimum wage throughout the year. then they push so many machines on the dealers that they can't sell that many throughout the year, therefore you get dealers that lie to you to push a machine upon you. don't get me wrong i love seeing polaris do well cause it means that alot of my friends have jobs but it is a factory that is hurting itself. as for the 650 v2 and the 700 kq both are excellent machines. i have the 650 v2 in my cat and it is an awesome machine and i heard the same about the 700 which i will have in my new 700 efi cat that i will be purchasing very soon.
