If I thought it was a POS, I would say so. Yes, I would buy another one, but I'd get the three year warranty as I got on my '09

If you're covered and something goes wrong, it's not that big a deal. If you're not covered and something major (like ball joints) goes bad.....you're not a happy camper. I understand the frustration in certain situations. Same applies to all manufacturers of all gear.

I feel bad for the guys that don't follow the Polaris forums. You know there are a lot of people out there that are completely oblivious to the condition. One can only pray they are not rippin' along a rail bed at 50mph when one goes.
