No offence here....but do you even look your bike over before you ride it?
Befoe the headlights fell out didnt you notice a rattle noise or anything? I am not saying it's you but a ton of people scream lemon, but if they would just take the time to look over the bike before they ride it most of this stuff wouldn't happen.

Feel for me too, I have a camo colored lemon. At 225 miles headlights fell out, drive belt came apart(not burnt like abuse would do), left rear wheel/hub assy. almost fell off, and at 275 miles water pump mech seal leaking. I didn't want anyone to think that pooplaris was any better!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey Shaq700, Do what I do, change your list of goodies to the things that break. These Pooplaris die hards get pissed when you say something bad. If a Polaris breaks then obviously it was abused!

Hey THRASHAND...... Thanks for making my point of my quad still looking new. I have about 275 mils on it. I have had it 11 monthes. So bascally, if my quad looks so good , then I must take good care when cleaning it. Someone that usually cleans the hell out of something tends to care for it more than someone who "Rides them hard and put them away wet!" But wait, if mine is so good looking, I wonder when these guys think I ABUSE it?

I work for a truck dealer, and I hear a bunch of weird crap. Had one guy towed in because both tires on the right rear "broke off" and it "just happend out of the blue" Anfter looking it over the 10 lug holes were wobbled out like an egg....it had to be loose for days....by law all drivers are sapposed to look there truck over bumper to bumper and the start and end of every day......BUT as a dealer it was our fault it happened.........

You make me laugh, So know it is my fault? Even if I lookd it over, the thing still broke. Trust me that was the least thing that bothered me on that trip. The wheel hub almost falling off and belt shredding were more of a concern.

"The worlds toughest ATV" Don't anyone get me wrong I like my bike, but a fella can only take so much crap. If these guys aren't breaking down, they don't use them, or they are well-to-do and it isn't an issue?! Friend of mine had an 02 700, terrible luck, another w/ a 500 HO, same. Another 500 EFI, computer caught fire and the bike burned, twice!! He stuck it out each time w/ polaris and has a 06 500 EFI at this time...nop problems so far! What other brands do you hear this from
