Haven't had any problems with reliability with mine. Just did a cartwheel on the Boss a week ago. Broke one of the new lights I added, but kept on riding. It's been treated pretty harsh, and has never left me stranded. I've even made it back to camp missing 3 teeth on the front sprocket and the chain held on by half a link (stupid rock).

so their newer 05 models are way more reliable than the crappy older ones?
i think the problem with polaris is that they put som many gadgets on it that theirs so many more things that can go wrong
