Well my Polaris doesnt need anything but gas and oil to make it run. As neither do any of my friends. Honestly if Polaris needed to be fixed everytime they were ridden then why would anyone buy one? I could have bought anyone I wanted and have owned Honda and Yamaha in the past. I just don't see Polaris problems in the real world? I dont have them nor do any of the people that I know that own Polaris? Had more troubles with my Yamha and the honda second. but as for my Polaris no troubles at all.
