Default Just to let you know...

Since i joined Aug 11 i checked this Polaris forum back til page 1752,i found some excellent hints how to fix things and performed following repairs on my 2000 Mag 500: replacing the a arm bushings on both sides,replacing front and rear brakes,replacing plastic starter disc,welding 2 cracked frame spots,installed a big toolbox/utilitybox in the rear,installed a 3000# Venom winch,checked and topped of all the oil in trannys and motor,greased all the zerks on drive lines and chassis ....
Doing it yourself may not be good for the economy but its very good for my wallet....

That's great feedback. All too often people ask for help and don't let us know how things turn out. I really appreciate that you took the time to let people know how much the forum has helped your situation.

Thanks for updating the forums. Like the others have said, we do wonder if some people ever got their problems solved.

Heck, you can even post the steps you took. You never know, you may have discovered a short cut that wasn't known about before.
