polaris 4x4 with chain drive
I AM A HONDA MAN AND HERE LATELY HAVE RAN UP ON SOME CHEAP DEALS ON SOME OLDER POLARIS 4X4'S. THE ONE THAT I AM MOST INTERESTED IN IS A 99 MODEL 425 MAGNUM. I AM NOT FAMILAR WITH CHAIN DRIVE ON A 4X4. I WAS WONDERING IF THEY WERE JUST AS RELIABLE AS A SHAFT. IF NOT WHAT PROBLEMS MIGHT I EXPECT OUT OF ONE. ALSO HOW HARD ARE THE 4WD SYSTEM TO WORK ON. THANKS.

I've got a chain drive Magnum. Yes, it works. I wouldn't buy another ATV with chain drive though. I'm constantly having to mess around with the chain. I have to lube it every other day. I have to watch the play in the chain like a hawk. If it gets too loose you can end up throwing the chain, wrecking sprockets and even breaking cases if it gets tangled up right. Oh and when it decides to throw a chain it's always in a convenient place like in the middle of a creek far from home.
Chains are just a pain. I'll never own another machine that has one. Yes, it works fine and it has been a reliable unit overall but I HATE having to be constantly dicking around with the chain. I need my ATV for work on my farm and for riding trails when the work is done. I hate taking time to clean and lube the chain and having to crawl around on the ground tightening the chain all the time. Never fails when i have stuff I need to do in a hurry the chain needs attention.
