I ACCIDENTLY FOUND THIS SITE 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I BOUGHT MY POLARIS 500 SPORTSMAN. AND I GO TO IT DAILEY TO READ ABOUT POLARIS. AND I FIND IT AMAZING HOW MUCH OF A DOG I RIDE EVERYWHERE I GO IN PUBLIC WITH MY POLARIS AND SOME OF THE STUFF I EVEN READ ON THESE PAGES,I NOW KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A MINORITY ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE RICE COOKERS AND THEY JUST SWEAR BY THEM FOR RELIABILITY AND SUCH BUT YOU KNOW WHEN WE GO RIDING I'M ALL TEETH AND HAVING FUN AND THEY JUST LOOK DEPRESSED OR SOMETHING AND ALL TALK THAT TRASH. I SIMPLY LOVE MY SPORTSMAN THE RIDE AND THE PERFORMANCE ETC ETC I GUESS IT'S LIKE A HARLEY IF YOU EVER RODE WITH THE JAPANESE BIKES THEY ALL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HARLEY'S, BUT IT IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU HAVE TO OWN ONE TO BELIEVE IN ONE. AND YES I HAVE 400 MILES ON IT AND IT IS IN THE SHOP GETTING THE CLUTCH CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CHOICE WAS A RUBICON FOR $7000.00 WITH NO WINCH OR THE POLARIS FOR 6200 WITH A WINCH THE DIFFERENCE WAS 1200.00 AND I FIGURED FOR THAT I COULD DO A LOT OF REPAIRS AND STILL GET THE 6 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO I GUESS IT IS LIKE THE GUY SAID THE OTHER DAY IT IS AN EXPENSIVE TOY AND YOU NEED TO BE READY TO PUT OUT A LIL CHEESE EVER NOW AND THEN. OR YOU CAN GET ONE OF THE BORING ONES AND COMPLAIN ABOUT ME SOME MORE CAUSE I LOVE MY POLARIS!!!!
2000 POL SP

Glad you like your new ride.
Just a word of etiquitte, when you type everything in all capital letters, it is for emphasis, kind of like if you have something important to stress and want to SHOUT.
Good luck with it.
Sorry to hear about the clutch problems. Nothing major, I hope.
Remember to SMILE when you ride so everyone knows how much fun you are having.

 

I don't know if Polaris wants to be aligned with Harley Davidson when talking reliability. I'd have to say the Polaris quality is a little better.
