Eye bot meye Polearis bcawz Iam very intiligint! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm loyal to brands that treat me well, meet my needs, and are comparitely priced. As far as trucks/suvs have gone, my most realiable (in order) were a Nissan 4 cylinder 4x4 pickup, an Isuzu Trooper with 6 cyl., and a Toyota 4-Runner with 4 cylinder. Least realiable (most expensive problem-wise) were (in order) my present 2002 GMC Crew Cab 4x4 2500HD, and a Ford Super Duty Crew Cab 4x4 with a diesel. They have been very expensive to own... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] As far as quads go, I've liked how my 2 newer Polaris quads have been. Both have about 500-600 miles on them without anything more than an adjustment and maintenance. Oh, and some trail rash here and there... Granite doesn't give way to plastic. The older Xplorer I had didn't treat me quite as good but it was an older design. The Kawasaki Lakota needed constant rear brake adjustment, but was great otherwise. So, ride what you like! Nuff said...

 

"As for made in the US. Your Tundra is built in the US isn't it. "

Yea, sorry I missed that point, but you are right, its
right (write, ha ha) on my paper work.

And my family who are "Fords Only!" well many of
them were built in Brazil. I agree, it keeps going on and
on....Its a slippery slope!

My quad company employs about 4000 people in Nebraska and is assembled there! Mine must be a "corn-husk burner"!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

 

Plus I am sure you guys know that the Po Po engine is FUJI, doesn't sound american to me

 

last weekend my honda broke and our polaris trailblazer 250 had to pull me out, that sucked the whole mile or two (wife never pulled before). funny thing is I had just told her to take the lead, she did, I broke about 100ft after starting out on the back trail, she never looked back, said she thought somthing was wrong when she got back and I wasn't there. she never looked back for me, then didn't come back for about 45 min, lol.

 

Guys i'm a Polaris owner, I've never had anything else, but to be honest I'm really starting to doubt the reliability of the machine. I have to buddies that bought the same unit as I have it's a 2005 500HO and they have had nothing but problems. I thought well they use them hard and don't maintain them. Well I don't abuse mine and I'm over the top when it comes to service. I have 1200 miles now approximately and I'm hearing a loud knocking noise coming from the engine. I'm not sure if I should drive it,tear it down or trade it. I love the bike but I'm seriously worried about it leaving me.

 

It works both ways , I sold a 2000 450 Foreman to get a 2001 SP500,alot more power and comfort. No regets yet.

Polaris makes their own motors for all the newer sportsman and the hawkeyes. The Fuji motors were in the eariler models.
