I called about a belt for a 2000 Kodiak, the salesman chuckled, then said " $120, can you believe that " those were his words, not mine. A high performance belt for my Polaris was $37. Prices for quad related items has gotten out of hand. I dont mind paying a fair price, but $120 for a peice of rubber is ridiculous.

Guys its not just Yamaha dealers putting the screw to you, Honda does it to.

I wanted a trailer hitch for my wifes Honda. The dealer wanted $99. I asked him to double ckeck to make sure that was the right price. It was. I told him to forget it. I found a hitch on line at Cabelas.com $19.99.

How about $27.00 for two 30w headlight bulbs on my Banshee?? I can change complete lights for that with Halogen bulbs.
