Default 2006 Sportsman 500 H.O.

Hi, I'm looking at buying one of these used. Just looking to get any opinions, and if any known issues with this year / brand. If you own one, be sure to share your experience - thanks!

Mechanical they were pretty good if reasonably taken care of. Electrical wise they did have problems on ecms going out. Some still floating around out there that still haven't had the free recall relacement ecm done.http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2008/...o-Fire-Hazard/

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea. Is it possible (I know not recommended) to ride 2-up on this machine? Comfortable for a day long ride?

If your better half is as broad as Kim Kartrashian then the answer is definitely no.. Better off looking at an X2 or something of that nature.
