When i called my dealer today to see if my predator was done yet they said now my cam was messed up. i picked it up last week and there was this ticking nosie in the engine (i just started it up from the dealer and it was maken a nosie so i droped it off the same day I dident even drive it it was maken that nosie so i droped it off) so i droped it back off and now and i called today and they say the cams messed up. Its been in there for 11 weeks! ill probly never buy another polaris agen!

 

I'm thinking your problem is your dealer, not Polaris. Could be wrong, but maybe shop around. Just a thought.

 

11 weeks?! Man, get a different dealer.

 

The problem is with both polaris and the dealer the dealer has one macanic and he rushes every thing to get to the next job and polaris never has the parts it needs in stock as soon as i get it its going to be 4 sale.

 

Sorry to hear you have had a bad experience. Can't say I blame you. I have three Polaris dealers withen ten mile of me and I will only go to one of them. He gets Polaris parts for me (and most others) next day usually. They are always backed up on service, but they do good work. Might be time to call it a lemon and get a brand new one. Just remember the Squeaky wheel gets the grease! May be time to pitch a fit in front of some prospective buyers.

 

alot of things are on back order for the pred... its common when a new machine comes out... try going and gettin stock parts for a yzf450... it aint gonna happed... my buddys gytr slip on has been on back order for a month now.. with no estimated date.

 

Hey, just a bit of info i picked up, i hope it will help you. First your dealer is a major problem, secondly, when you find a decent dealer, have him check your valves for cracks. I have a friend who has an 03' predator that had this problem out of the box. A good dealer will take the time to find the problem, and fix it for you.

 

hey fastpred what happened to the machine in the first place for it to go into the dealer just curious?

 

fastpred I can understand your frustration. My TB 400 was in the shop for 3 weeks for water in the counter balance. 3 weeks later it went back in for the same problem. It's been 4 weeks and counting. I didn't buy a quad so it could sit in the shop.

 

The problem i had in the first place that i had to take it to the dealer for is i lost 3rd gear.
