ive been hearing people say that outlaws are junk and i wanna know whats goin on, ive never had a single problem out of mine, and the irs gives it a more comfortable ride, so i wanna know if these quads are junk then whats really wrong with them. outlaws are faster then raptors out the factory and ride very smoothe, please feel free to tell me what you really think because im just wondering WTF?

 

Some, no matter what Polaris makes and how good it is, will continue to bash them. They had a bad rep many moons ago and people just can't get over it. Also, the IRS on a sport is a whole new concept, so people still have a hard time excepting it.

 

All the people who say Outlaws are junk have probably never owned one. Some people who never owned one say ALL Polaris ATVs are junk, but millions of us know better. The only brand that sells more is Honda so I guess everything but Honda is junk too.

 

I love my 525S, I wish it was jetted better, but it sure is a rocket!

 

they are just narrow minded fools, they had their *** kicked by their old suspension for so long they now have brain damage, because their brain is now in their ***.

 

I'm very disappointed with my recent Polaris purchase. After owning several motorcycles and ATV's including a Yamaha 660 Grizzly, a Suzuki Z400, a Suzuki RM125, a Honda 50cc, a Honda 75cc, a Kasea 90, a Suzuki Quadmaster 50, two Harley's and I'm sure I'm leaving out a few more toys.

On March 26, 2008 I purchased my son a 2008 Polaris Outlaw 90. The limited edition version. On June 15th the brakes on the Outlaw needed adjustment. The first week of July I was told by my local dealer that the brakes needed to be replaced. I delivered the Outlaw to my local dealer on July 14th. The repairs were completed on July 30th. After paying $90.00 for 3 Polaris brakes and 2 hours of labor we returned home. 13 days later on August 13th the brakes, once again, are gone. I contacted my local Polaris dealer who told me that I need to keep my son out of the water and mud as water and mud will wear down the drum brakes.

Hmm...now if I wanted to keep my son out of the water and mud I would have purchased him an X-Box 360 or a Wii.

The local dealer said that brakes can wear down quickly when in mud and water. I can recall our Honda 75cc had drum brakes and we beat that bike up for two years straight and NEVER replaced the brakes once. We were in mud and water constantly.

Polaris representatives are not concerned at all. I called the Polaris 800 number and was told that there is nothing they can do. They actually seem to have an attitude that it is not a big deal. That I need to contact my local dealer. I find it very hard to believe that Polaris brakes will only last 13 days when replaced and less than 3 months when new. My son rode his Outlaw about 7 times in those 13 days.

I'm very concerned about my son's safety. These brakes can apparently fail at any time. I've come to the conclusion that Polaris is not a very good company and I made a huge mistake buying their product.
My options: Purchase my son a new quad not from Polaris.
What to do with the Polaris Outlaw? I really don't know. I don't want to sell this ATV to another parent for fear that their child may be harmed or injured by the faulty brakes.

I've sent an email to Polaris about my concerns but have yet to hear back from them.

I wonder how the CEO of the company, or the executive officers would feel if they spent $3,000 on a new ATV, purchased new gloves, goggles and a helmet from their local dealer and then the product fails twice and cannot be used. So, I will be switching to what I believe is a much more reliable company. It is rare that I see anyone on a Polaris anyway and now I know why.

 

they are talking about the real outlaw

 

Well...the initial 90 purchase could have easily turned into a "real" Outlaw purchase but it's not going to happen now. Since this incident I've spoken with another former Polaris owner who traded in their "real" Outlaw because they thought it was a piece of junk too. Even though this is only a 90 and not "real" to you, it's a lot of money to dish out for something that can't even hold up for 6 months. Not what I expected out of an American made product.

 

What he means by "real" is that the 90cc and 50cc models are actually made in Taiwan, then Polaris uses their decals on it.

Not just Polaris does this. CanAm does this as well.

You might want to look for someone that works on Eton (I think that's who they are using) quads. While you would think that a quad is a quad, they might actually be able to give you a real solution.

 

they would never PURCHASE these products, they get it for all free, parts and service also are free to them, they don't care.
