I just traded in my Wolverine and purchased a 01 Polaris Scrambler 500 4x4. Well i love this thing to death its an awesome atv. But all my freinds tell me that the reliabilty on Polaris isnt good at all is this true? Can i expect my atv to hold up or not?

 

Put in the time to take care of it. Keep up on the servicing and it should be a great machine. I currently own my 2nd and 3rd Polaris's and I love them. The only reason I sold my first was to replace it with a bigger, newer Polaris. Good luck with yours and welcome to the Polaris family.

 

I have 99 scrambler 500 with low hours on it and the outer tie rod ends are bad.the center steering pivot is bad,the airbow mounts are broke,ive rebuilt the waterpump and had to put protectors on the radiator hoses.Im not really satisfied!

 

I have a 2000 Scrambler I've beat to death and it's still kickin' without a single problem! I think there are good ones and bad ones just like computers, cars, microwaves, etc...

 

The 2001 Scramblers have the updated tie-rod ends, as well as the updated steering post bushing. Keep up with the maintenance, as you should with any quad, and it will serve you well.
