Well, my brother in-law was riding the bike around 20 mph. He had the bike in AWD and went to turn around. He gased it while he was turning and being in AWD the front engaged so over he went. This was on a gravel improved road SAturday morning. The bike is BAD. Guage pod destroyed,rear rack and rack extension bent,front box cover cracked,all fenders badly scratched(deep). Front brakes squel bad. grips ripped key switch broke. Maybe the polaris dealer will find more . Thanks GOD for insurance. I have a $100 deductible and will call them now. He paying the deductible and what ever the dealer/insurance won't cover. Hell I only had the bike 3 months.
The phone call I got from him was the best.
His new name is CRASH

that sucks man. thats why i never let anyone ride mine.i had a brand new big bear 400 a few years back and like on the 2nd day i let this guy ride it and he turned it up on its side climbing a hill. he just laughed but i wanted to kill him. people dont appreciate what you have so they dont try to be carefull when they ride it. mayde it wont take to long to get it fixed. and good thing you had insurance on it. good luck

Sor t of the same thing happened to me yesterday. Three of us were riding in the snow and my brother and I swapped machines, mines a 04.5 500 HO adn his is a 04 vinson. He is a more aggresive rider than I am so I said "just don't roll my quad". He said "don't worry I haven't rolled mine yet! I came beebopping down the road and he was just sitting on it. He said, well I just rolled your quad. Apparently he did a powerslide and just as he came to a stop the tires grabbed somthing underneath the snow and the quad just leaned over on its side. Luckily no damage and it was only on its side for a few seconds. There are some pictures in the polaris section of www.atvquadsquad.com of some good snow action, there are 2 separate posts so look for Brambles as the author!!!
Sorry to hear about your quad, I want to try out a 05 sportsman and see if the wider front end will track better in the snow!!

Sorry about your rolled machine. If you don't mind me asking how many times did it roll over? The first day I had mine I rolled it twice. No damage at all but a few minor scratches. I flipped and rolled mine again three weeks ago (much worse reck) but again luckily no damage. Maybe I'm lucky but it seems like a lot of damage. Good luck and hope you get back to riding soon.
