Hi guys, so I'm planning on going to buy this ATV today but am starting to wonder if it's even an Predator 500. It's looks so similar but the front plastics are different, there is a plate right under the nose of the front plastics that isn't familiar. Lastly, I noticed it doesnt have front shock remotely attacjed reservoirs.

It also says Premier on it, but can't see "Polaris" anywhere.The person selling it doesn't seem to familiar with what it really is either.

I just checked a bunch of pictures of Predators, or at least what people were claiming to be Predators, and saw one with shocks just like that on it. But it also had the Polaris "North Star" symbol at the tip of the nose. All of them had the star on the nose, so if it's a Predator, the plastic's been changed. I wouldn't buy it without checking the VIN anyway. If the first digit is 1,4 or 5 it's made in the U.S., 2 is Canada, and 3 is Mexico. Letter J is Japan. If the letter's an L, run like 'ell! It's made in China.

 

Thanks for the help Frank. I ended up talking more to the owner and he said the brand is called Premier which is made by Polaris and it's a 300cc. I found Premier/Polaris website and it's nothing I'm interested in. I was hoping it was a predator but no such luck. I'm staying clear!

Thanks again for the help!

 

Is this anywhere near Yakima, WA? I can find a premier powersports dealer that also sells Polaris, but I'd have a hard time believing Polaris would not have their name on a quad they made.

 

I found a place named Premier Polaris and other places calling themselves the premier dealers of whatever they sold, but no one had a Premier Brand anything that I saw. Polaris puts their name on everything including the half Polaris India-made Eicher Polaris Multix made in India. And I have no problem making wind without one.

 

That's a pretty fine line between making and breaking wind, Frank.

 

And I don't need to demonstrate how powerful it is.

 

Yea I have no idea but decided to pass because I couldn't find anything on it. Thanks guys for the help. Just picked up an Outlaw 525 IRS. Needs plastic, just realized the expenses of that 😲

 

That Outlaw 525 will go places where other sport quads drag their brake and sprocket guards. I don't think a lot of spare parts will be available for it because they didn't make it for long.

 

Cool, I'm going to test her out today. It will be very busy, been getting poured on. Is the IRS more desirable or just personal preference? I kinda bought it on a whim and not too familiar with them. I've had a couple sport quads in the past but I'm really a dirt bikes but enjoy playing around on ATV's every so often.
