[QUOTE="Moki, post: 1653376, member: 18597"] My last ATV was a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 500 after running it for a few years the insurance ran out for the year so I parked it for the winter. A few weeks later a very good friend asked me to take him deer hunting for the weekend so without insurance on the machine we headed out to a ranch I had permission to hunt we were behind locked gates so I figured I'll get by without insurance. It was cold appr 1' of snow on the ground Saturday we road around saw a few decent buck but my buddy was holding out so we did not shoot but several times over the day the electrical on the ATV just shut down but it would start up right away again. Next morning as we road up a steep hill to get to where we were to hunt the electrical completely died but this time it did not come back so we ended up walking back to the truck/camper/trailer when we drove up I could see smoke as we came back to the quad. There was my quad melted to the ground from what I understand from talking to the dealership the electronic control module shorted out resulting in the fire. Polaris wouldn't do anything for me not even a break on buying another machine = I'll never own a Polaris again. since then I've been riding a 2012 dual sport Kawasaki KLX250s but lately have been looking at getting another quad I was thinking Honda or Yamaha.
