Markie, I believe there's an update for your coolant problem. As far as the way your machine behaves, I think that's an adaptation that's gonna have to take place on your part. Get used to using the brakes. The design/engineering side of Polaris is open to comments and suggestions, it never hurts to forward your ideas to them. Maybe they'll agree, and implement a change, or maybe they have there reasons for the current design. Give them a shout. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Been hunting all weekend, if I can figure out how to make the over ride button to engage my front wheels and my coolant leak fixed I will keep my 700. I rode other atvs this weekend now my back hurts,I like my 700s suspension.

Just my 2 cents....... The other manufacturers don't steer or drive near as nice as a polaris because when they are in 4wd they are locked that way. Try riding a honda in 4wd and turning it, it's not fun. It's one of the advantages of a polaris when in 4wd it still steers easy unless the rears are slipping. The abs only braking the rear wheels is unfortunately the only way to have ebs on a polaris. One of the pitfalls to having a smooth riding and steering atv. Abs is still better than no abs. The left lever is the best abs of all.

A quote from polaris warranty,The purchaser must complete an atv safty training course provided by the dealer in order to have valid warranty on the atv.No warranty coverage will be allowed unless your atv is registered with polaris. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP.

Markie, let's have a dose of reality. The warranty requirement that all owners attend an ATV safety course is simply CYA lawyer-speak. I've taken my Sportsman back for warranty service, and nobody asked me if I took a safety course. I bet you could ask anyone here in this forum about their warranty service, and they would say the same thing.

Relax, my friend. Even though the rear wheel only EBS annoys you (and that's a personal matter), you're still the proud owner of one of the most bitchen off-road machines made. Does the Honda Rincon have 11+ inches of ground clearance? Can it pull 1,500 lbs.? Does it have a low range? Does it have a locker in the front? Isn't that Honda's flagship machine? Enough said.

I can't say for sure, but my guess is all manufacturers have that kind of wording in their warranties. I know they all make you take the course.

Honda pays you to take the class if you dont go you dont get paid. I went to another dealer about the recal on my cooling system and this time therewas no hassle about who 's reponsable for this or that they said they would just take care of It. If I buy another polaris It will be from them.

Hey markie, What part of Utah do you live in? What dealer did you buy your ATV from? Is it still under warrranty? I have the same problem with my brakes on my Scrambler but the Scramlbers don't have EBS.
