Blackthunder700 please do not insult us we 550 and 500 and less owners actually have these machines. We are not denying that yours says made in USA because we all know the 600 and up twins are made by polaris here in the USA. Not just in MN, I think Kenosha WI. has an engine facility. Our SINGLE cylinder POPO's say "Fuji" right on the engine block. This is not an opinion it is a fact. You say you saw it on a TV show Dirt tracks and fisher atv world, they went through the engine factory in MN. If this is the case they too were only talking about making all the liberty series engines (which are twins ). Can you tell me what series engine our singles are? They are star which are made by Fuji. You say you are "not going to believe what we are thinking or think we know". We don't have to think we know we can read on our engine blocks. It would be like us saying that all engines are made by fuji. We are not saying that at all, we are glad that we know POPO builds a kick a$$ twin here in America. As much as we all would like every part of our POPO to be made right here in the US of A, they sadly are not. Could they? Most definately. If they can manufacture a twin, a single should not be too complicated. Anyway, we have treated you with respect. Please offer us proof in the form of link like we have offered you saying that the singles are made by Polaris and we would all be willing to stand corrected. Wonder why they would stamp the block "Fuji Heavy Industries" then??</end quote></div>
My 500 has nothing with fuji on it it was made in MN. As far as being insulted well thats what you all are doing i gave my statement as for what i have seen read watched and own.

STOP, PERIOD, THE END.!!!!

So if you want it to END stop replying. If you read this I "Know" you will reply PERIOD. You didn't like reading it put like that did you? That's how you stabbed every post. I never disrespected you in prior posts. I'm sorry you took it personal it was not intended that way.

FHI has four main divisions:
The automobile division, Subaru, has been manufacturing and selling automobiles since 1954 and now has 1,970 dealers in 100 countries.
The aerospace division is a contractor for the Japan Defense Agency and markets and sells both commercial and defense-related aircraft, helicopters and target drones. This division used to build the Fuji FA200 Aero Subaru and is currently participating in the Airbus A380, Boeing 777, Boeing 787, Hawker 4000 and Eclipse 500 programs, and supplies parts for Boeing 737, Boeing 747 and Boeing 767. A Stock for London Underground Rolling Stock.
The industrial products division manufactures and sells commercial engines, pumps and generators under the Subaru-Robin brand in North America, and as Robin everywhere else. Fuji's industrial products division, began manufacturing "Star" engines for Polaris Industries snowmobiles in 1968 but the cooperation ended in 1998 when Polaris Industries started to build their own brand new Liberty two-stroke engines, but Fuji remains a Polaris supplier of pistons to this day. Fuji is a partner with Polaris, owning a percentage of Polaris stock. Fuji has provided more than 2 million engines used in Polaris snowmobiles, ATVs, watercraft and utility vehicles. [4]
The eco technology division manufactures and sells garbage trucks, robot sweeper, and wind turbines.
FHI discontinued the production of buses and railroad cars in 2003.
The company's four divisions all share their technological advancements with one another, which has made FHI a leader in innovation. In particular, they apply a great deal of their aircraft technology to their automotive division, the most notable example being the horizontally-opposed boxer engines used in all modern Subaru automobiles.

Polaris, Fuji form company to build engines; Hudson facility to supply recreation, industrial manufacturers
Business Wire , Feb 3, 1995
Email Print
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 3, 1995--Polaris Industries Inc. (AMEX:SNO) and Fuji Heavy Industries today finalized a joint ownership agreement to form Robin Manufacturing USA, a new Hudson, Wis.-based company which will build small engines for recreation, golf and industrial products.
Robin is setting up operations in a separate facility in Hudson, and will begin building engines in early February.
Under the agreement, Fuji, which is based in Tokyo, Japan, will own 60 percent and Minneapolis-based Polaris will own 40 percent of Robin.
Polaris Chairman and Chief Executive Officer W. Hall Wendel, Jr., said Polaris and Fuji have had strong business ties since the mid-1960s, when Fuji first began building engines for Polaris snowmobiles. Today, all Polaris snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and personal watercraft are powered by Fuji-built engines.
"Robin will leverage Fuji's engine building expertise, giving Polaris and other manufacturers a domestic supplier of high-quality, high-performance engines," Wendel said.
Both Fuji and Polaris will realize significant benefits, Wendel added. For Polaris, the plant will eliminate overseas shipping and engine cost increases due to the rising Yen, resulting in reduced manufacturing costs. And Fuji, which builds about 800,000 engines annually in Japan, will enjoy a stronger presence in the expanding U.S. market for gas-powered recreation, utility and industrial products.
Robin customers also will benefit from the plant's location, Wendel said. Hudson is on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, close to major shipping hubs in the Twin Cities and also near key customers including Polaris, which has manufacturing facilities in Roseau, Minn., Spirit Lake, Iowa and Osceola, Wis.
Fuji Heavy is best known as the manufacturer of SUBARU automobiles and is positioned for continuing leadership in the global transportation industry. The Industrial Products division of Fuji provides several models of sophisticated Robin engines to a diversified group of customers. The combination of innovation and technological achievement establishes a strong base for growth into the 21st Century, for both Polaris and Fuji.
Polaris designs, engineers, manufactures and markets snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and personal watercraft for recreational and utility use. Polaris is the world's largest snowmobile manufacturer, and one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of ATVs and personal watercraft. Polaris trades on the American and Pacific Stock Exchange under the symbol "SNO."
