I'll be taking a look at a 2005 Sportsman 800 on Saturday, it's 3500 dollars. It's got 1600 miles on it.
I've been reading some pretty scary stuff about melting plastics, and extremely hot exhausts. I'm wonder if the 2005 model is just a lemon... Does anyone have any opinions on this model/year?
Thanks,

besides bad heat shileds which help cause melting issues some had bad fuel pumps(but so did other models and sizes). over all the 800 is been a good bike. look at the side panles where the exhaust is to see if it's started to melt. some bikes had been remapped to make them run richer to help keep them running cooler.
