Here we go again.
For some reason this forum attracts those with overexagerated claims against Polaris. This has been going on for years and I just don't hear this on other sites like I do here. I've had a Sportsman 500 for about 4 years now and it has been a real workhorse for me. I pull heavy foodplot implements around all the time. The only problem I ever had was when I had just bought it and made the mistake of trying to pull someone's truck and boat out of a mud hole in high gear. I burnt the trans belt and took it to the Polaris dealer. All was repaired the same day for $100. I though that was very reasonable. I'm now looking at the new 800 for a spring upgrade this year.

Wait until you do. Parts are very exspensive and if you have to deal the Polaris Customer Service,''GOOD LUCK".They by far are the worst I've ever dealt with.
IMHO Polaris isn't what they are cracked up to be.Way over rated.

I have never had a problem with my 2003 Polaris Sportsman 400 and it was actually broke in on a construction site. I like their ground clearance.

Customer service can greatly very from one dealer to the next. Just depends on who your talking to. I've talked to the customer service, and even the mechanics at my honda dealer and they have always been very helpful. I have a friend who has a ploaris, and there's one dealership that he refuses to go do business with. Every time he's gone there he's had bad experiences. So he takes a longer drive to go else where. Just depends on who your dealing with.
