Okie, thanks for reminding me. That piece of junk, all I did was dive it completely under the water while it was running. I was forced to perform one of the above mentioned oil changes after that. A simple little drive into a pond cost me like $15 bucks.

Does anyone want to buy these "high maintenance" machines from me. I'll take what that crazy dealer will give me on trade.

Yeah,,,I'll tell you,,,,always having to move the shifter from forward to reverse and back,,,,push the throttle,,pull the brake lever,,,,what a pi$$er..not to mention the regular putting in of the gas and oil..
What the h#ll was polaris thinking when they made these things so reliable that you always have to ride them and never get a chance to work on them ???

O.K now it's my turn. everyone i know who rides a polaris always has to spend a minimum of 250 a week to keep it running, well if ya drive them hard. I would just like to congradulate you guys on having good luck with your polaris' the reason i hate them soooo much is because all of the experience that i've had with polaris has been terrible, all but one guy who has had good luck with his sp500 H.O. i won't rain on your parade anylonger.
later

mike chero i agree with you and hey you guys i am sorry 4 your luck by my TB and my dads explorer have never had any real problems and i know a lot of people whos polaris's work just as good if not better than a dumb suzuiki or yamaha or whatever all fourwheelers have problems and you guys probably think that polaris's are junk cuz you never tried anything else but i bet you would have more problem with a different brand hondas are really good i will admit but still polaris's are no worse than any other you just think they are

rincon?
GO GET A LIFE!
How many times a day do you feel the need to complain about something you obviously know nothing about?
Everyone you know with a Polaris has to spend a minimum of $250 a week to keep it running? What the he!! is that?
What are you, like 12 years old?
Do us all a favor and get off the internet, get back on the little bus, and go to summer school like your mommy told you.
Or better yet, save your milk money untill you have enough to go buy the worlds greatest ATV, The rincon. LOL
Parasites are realy hard to get rid of. Just ask Terminex.

I keep having this problem. I install my sparkplug finger tight. I go riding for a while, then boom, the sparkplug hits the gas tank, and ricochets into my nu...er groin area. Then I hafta spend a few hours in surgery, to remove the sparkplug. This is the third time, this Polaris is a piece of crap. Other than sell it, I have contracted a machinist to fabricate a "cup" for me. He said he'd make it out of titanium, so the sparkplug couldn't come through again. What a relief, now I can ride in comfort. Ever since I raised my compression, it really hurt. Those extended tip plugs are the worst.


Family show......what family show???

wow!! your really cool aren't you.
when ever we say something bad about polaris, you guys say "you don't know what you're talking about"
if you could read you'd know that i said that i witnessed theses problems, they didn't come "out of the blue" (canadian thing)
so if you can't handle the truth i leave you little fellers alone now

once upon a time, i was having an internet browsing session. for some unknown reason i went to the yamaha forum and snooped around the problem threads. then i went to the suzuki forum and did the same thing. then i came upon the honda forum and in all of the threads i visited, my search for the all knowing rinconator only turned up a couple of posts. rincon, if you dislike polaris that much then GO AWAY! and ruin someone else's section of the forums.
don't go away mad...........just go away
