Last Polaris I'll own!!!!
I have had my fill of Polaris breakdowns for the last time!!!!!
I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER POLARIS, even if I have to give up 4-wheeling, again![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
Every Polaris I’ve ever owned (1996 Sportsman 500, 1999 Explorer 300 & 2002 Sportsman X 500 H.O.) has been in the shop and cost no less than $150.00 a pop!!! I’ve tried to take care of these 4-wheelers as best as I can. I am not rough on them (too old for that). But I can’t keep them out of the shop!!!! After every ride I give them a bath and even grease all the fittings!! I even keep them in the garage and leave my truck to the elements but nothing seems to help. It’s been something different almost every time!!! Everything from chains & sprockets to clutch to carburetor to electrical system!!
EXAMPLE: I’ve been on 3 rides this year and each trip I’ve either limped or been towed back to the trailer with a completely different breakdown. Does anyone know how embarrassing it is to have this to happen 3 times, out of 3 rides, in less than 9 months!!!???
Riding 4-wheeler’s is my most favorite way to get out and get away from everything but if it’s going to cost $150.00 or more every time I ride, then forget it (The last ride (Oct. 9) cost me over $450.00)!!
It makes you mad and depressed at the same time after spending the first $2500.00 for just repairs in 2 years no matter which brand of ATV you ride!!!! Mine just happens to be a Polaris.
You know it’s really bad when the other guys, you ride with, talk about the new mods for their machines and I’m talking about what’ll have to be repaired when I get back home!

Last Polaris I'll own!!!!
So far i have had my polaris 2004.05 sportsman 500 h.o for about 4 months.
I have punished it really bad and have not had any problems. it cost me 35 bucks canadian for a tune up.
maybe there is soemthing with your dealer?
My firend has had his for about the same time has put over 600 miles without going back for a breakin and is having no problems,
look like you either have bad luck or a day dealer,.
start looking for a new dealer.
