y2kTHUMPIN300ex,

Maybe your friends have bad seals on their PVT covers?

One of the guys i ride with has a Trailblazer, it never has any trouble with it, another guy has a Scrambler 400 and it slipped everytime he went through a little water, he found out it(the PVT cover) wasn't installed correctly. Now it is as water tight as the sportsman 500(the one the guys does serouis mudding with)

I can't wait to get a 250x. To be honest. I am not bias to any brand. I love them all! Every company has their ups and downs. Polaris seems to get a bad rap but i've never seen any excessive problems! and i know more people on them than any other brand
