Anyone know who makes the Motor in Polaris ATV's (Sportsman/Utility Models)? is it Polaris or another competitor??

 

All engines except the 600/700 are made by fuji. The twins are made by Americans by the Robin company.
I hope this helps.

My 400 2-stroke says Robin on it. I thought the twins were made by polaris themselves.........I didn't know that Robin made them?

they build the twins at polaris in osceola, you can tour the plant during the Wheels and Wings show and you can see the 700 engine line

 

walexa, I have a 250 and the pull starter on it says robin on it. The (unreliable in my case) engine itself is made by fuji.

 

The 400's are made by Robin Manufacturing co.

 

it's my understanding that the liberty 600/700 engines are built
here in the u.s.a.

All other polaris engines are built by Fuji in japan or it's North
American counterpart Robin in the U.S..that's why some
engines might say Fuji and others of the same bike might have
Robin on it, usually depending on the year model..

 

How does the reliability of the 600/700s compare to the outsourced engines that they use? The outsource the Predator engine to Fuji, don't they???

 

All the motors are built here in the U.S. by Polaris. Polaris owns a good chunk of Fuji Corp. and uses some of their parts. Fuji also designed most of the motors for Polaris, with the exception of the new American twin cylinder motors in the sleds and atv's. I've been on a tour of the Oceola plant and it's cool! They build some pipes, seats, some frame pieces, clutches, and the motors. It's a very clean operation and the quallity control is very good also. On a side note the 250 engine has been around since '85 and is very reliable if maintained properly.
