i still can't understand why you think all Polaris's are junk (you refer to them as poo-poolaris's)? just because you didn't take care of yours, neglected it, beat the hell out of it and expected perfection doesn't justify to ANYONE on this Forum that they are "poo-poo" as YOU put it.

you really need to try and maintain your ATV. i hope you learned your lesson after neglecting your Scrammy. maybe things will be better with your KFX 700 VForce. who knows, you really don't come off as being very intelligent.

think about it bro.

this thread is going sour boys, stop feeding him and he will go away. we are supposed to be helping each other. gunman, do you honestly think calling grown men "girls" is going to gain you any respect? let's get back on track or drop it! we've heard gunman's story, now let's move on. unless your post is productive and respectful, don't bother. thanks.

The reliability on my Poolaris blow's. It always had something going wrong with it, and I was always on top of maintenance. I've had to fix about everything on it, and alot of times It had to be fixed twice. It's let me down on a few of my atv trip's and couldn't be fixed without part's. Kinda hard to find part's in the stick's. And my Poolaris and all the parts I've got for it says MADE IN CANADA on it, so Poolaris is no more American then Honda is.
and i will say the same to you. just because your one Scrammy gave you problems hardly justifies calling all Polaris's "junk". let's grow up a little guys (or use a little common sence).

all but one of my Polaris ATVs have been bullet-proof. i've been riding Pol since '95.

Scrammy's had 'concentric drive' if i remember correctly. i wasn't crazy about the concept so i never bought one (plus the seats were way too hard for my liking). i still liked the idea of a sporty solid-axle, 4X4 ATV though.

FYI, my parts don't read "made in Canada."

I think you need to grow up and quit putting words in my mouth (calling all Polaris's "junk"). Sence that is what you think, then it must be what it is. Poolaris is far from being bullet-proof. You need to tell us what your smoking over there.
FYI, all of my oem parts I got from the dealer came in boxes that said Pure Poolaris, MADE IN CANADA. Got it? Good!
I feel that mine is bullet proof... always to the wood rolled fliped backwards jumped 10 feet in the air bottomed out all suspension so hard that i sprained my wrist rolled down a hill and still ran top notch... now i bought a new one and look 3000 miles of hard hard abuse and still nothing, my buddys honda had to have bearings replased all the way around at 3000 miles im not calling that junk beacuse its been the shop more then my polaris, and another thing at least my polaris is built strong, suzuki is built like a stick thats ready to be snaped over your leg, just look at those chinsey shafts and frames

Somewhere I picked up that Polaris quads tend to be on the heavy side. Is this true? I've had experience on a Yamaha Bruin where if you stick it you can still rock it out.

Polaris 500 H.O.: 715

Honda Rubicon 500: 600

Suzuki Vinson 500: 604

Yamaha Kodiak 450: 591

Kawasaki BF 650: 602

yup, the Polaris machines are heavy. to me it's heavy in a good way. it's a sport/UTILITY machine, the others are probably more SPORT/utility. if you plan on getting stuck with a machine, certainly a lighter one is easier to manuver and get out. however, the Polaris AWD traction will rarely leave you stuck, ALL FOUR WHEELS RECEIVE POWER. no stopping to engage a front locker or having to remember to pull a lever to lock the front end, all four wheels get power automatically with the Polaris, almost instantly, without you even knowing it. take a look at the Polaris next to any of the above machines and you will clearly see where the extra weight comes from. the Polaris is HEAVY DUTY.
