Just let me start with i love the ride on my sportsman 450
but the ecm went out at 540 mile 1 year old. polaris knows about this fault and upgraded the replacement but wont cover the part. my dealer has replaced alot of these and said to call polaris. If you buy a polaris 450 and up make sure it doesnt have the ECM part # 4011110 it is chinese cr@p. Get a warrenty on the ECM that out lasts the 6 months on the Wheeler or have them replace at no cost now before you buy. Any questions just post

BTW..........Did you see the new one before they put it in?........Bigger and better ......I put the new one in myself...........My dealer also replaced some.........He knew right away ....and told me what to check via e-mail.......I'am just lucky I have a spare 2006 450 for parts I guess(wife's).....LOL...LOL.....At least to swap out and trouble-shoot...............Caper..........

So to all the readers out there BUY two Polaris's.......May need one for parts.........Oh, my wife and I still love our quads though!!!!!!!!.........LOL....LOL...

 

news flash, if it doesnt pose a fire hazard or a safety issue i doubt they'll recall them. cost too much money and we alll know mfg. dont like to spend money. lol.

 

Safety issue? I live in Alaska we like to go riding in some pretty remote areas. Not minnesota in some farmers field.I should invite some polaris big wigs up and take them out and drop them off in the bush. Dont worry i will give them a bell to ring so a bear doesnt eat them.

 

its a machine..... parts fail..... if you want something that will never break.... start walking...
atving is sport, love it or hate it.

 

When parts(ECM) fail at 500(his) and 950(mine) miles there something wrong!!!!!!!...........Even the dealers know!!!!...Caper..

 

i agree that they should last longer then what you guys have had for milage by far. my point is unless it poses a health risk to the ride (besides being strandard in the middle of no where) they wont recall it and cost them money. even though they should. the bigger companies become i swear the less they care.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
