[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1655068, member: 12995"] I've ridden and drove plenty of Poo-laris equipment...Just because I was never dumb enough to spend my own money on one, doesn't mean I don't have any experience with them, several family members have had them (all had some sort of issue(s)...Fuel, fire, mechanical), LOTS of friends have owned them (most went back to Can-Am or Yamaha after owning only 1 Polaris). :cool: The local dealership's service department head even told me that Polaris single-handedly keeps them busy and making lots of money, even during the off-seasons. When the head service writer at the Polaris dealership tells you that, you know your smart for not owning one. ;) Why would I bash my Can-Am that is only broken because some jackass beat it to death and passed-off his money-pit to me, and I got duped into buying a pile of problems. Buying something used like that happens to everyone eventually...And sometimes buying something new that happens, as well (my Weatherby Accumark being a prime example). That's not the machine's fault. Every Polaris I've ever seen with issues was never electrical, it was always defective mechanical from either ****-poor engineering, or cheap pot-cast aluminum parts. I never would have bought a Polaris, and never will, so I would have never had the chance to blame all the problems on it. But nice attempt at subverting the insecurities. ;) Also, I thought it was funny that an old Yamaha 4-wheeler with literally HALF the engine, and had been beaten on pretty hard for 5+ years, had no problems beating a brand new Polaris 700 Twin. When I say "brand new", I mean, they picked it up earlier that afternoon from the dealership. BRAND NEW. When my Can-Am is finished being fixed it will put down more power than that Poo-laris, so smooth ride, and nearly 100RWHP from a tuned big-bore 840 is going to be more than enough for a 4-wheeler. If I need more, and feel like going into debt over another play toy, I'll just go buy a Defender HD10 and slap a turbo, a lift, and some 35" BKT's on it. :cool: [/QUOTE]
