soarkrebel who is Hillary does she make Hondas?
All Polaris machines do have a belt drive. It goes from the engine to the trans. from there it will either go to chain or shaft drive. The belts on Polaris are covered and you should not have a problem with them. I talked to my Polaris dealer and he told me they have very little problems, and if someone is having a problem it is and should be covered under warrenty. I also talked to a couple other small engine repair shops. They said that there is about the same amount of problems with honda as with polaris. One problem honda as with there trans is that sometimes they will get stuck inbetween gears.
I noticed you Honda guys are still comparing old Polaris with new Honda. That seems pretty funny to me. That' s ok us Polaris owners understand Polaris tech. is to advanced for you Honda guys to understand.

Maybe you' ld be better of on a horse and buggy
