I HAVE A 2004.5 700 SPORTSMAN . I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FRONT END BINDING UP TO THE POINT IT ALMOST SENDS ME OVER THE BARS. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER , TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS,( I HAVE HAD IT FOR 6 WEEKS, 4 OF THOSE ITS BEEN AT THE DEALER,NOT MY HOUSE) CHANGING FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, FRONT BRAKE PADS. WHEN THE ATV WAS NEW I HAD GORILLA AXLES, I SPOKE WITH THE GUYS FROM GORILLA , THEY SAY THEY HAVE HEARD OF SOMETHING GOING WRONG IN THE TRANSFER CASE,DEALER SAYS NOTHING GOING WRONG, FRONT AND REAR TUBE BUMPERS , K@N AIR FILTER, OTHER THAN THAT IT IS STOCK. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO TAKE PLACE AFTER THE BRAKES HAS BEEN USED, YOU CAN HEAR THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN LOCKING UP , THEN COMES TO COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT USEING THE BRAKES. YOU MUST PUT IT IN REVERSE AND BACK UP A FEW FEET , YOU CAN HEAR SOMETHING LET GO, THEN YOU CAN GO BACK FOWARD AGAIN.. MAY DO IT AGAIN IN 20 FT OR 2 MILES , PLEASE HELP I'VE POSTED THIS BEFORE , THOUGHT I GOT IT FIXED, RODE LESS THAN A MILE AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. IS THERE A # TO CALL POLARIS TO GET SOMEONE INVOLED???I HAVE EXPLAINED WHATS GOING ON THE BEST I CAN. 36 MILES AND A LITTLE OVER 6 HRS, BRAND NEW IN MY BOOK .THANKS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

2004.5? New? My 650 had a bolt missing on the brake and when you applied the brake the brake cylinder would jack knife and hit the rim and stop the quad. When you are talking to polaris say the word that this bike is hazerous to operate in this condition... They respond well to a statement Like that.
