BTW the Polaris is a decent bike and really has a nice ride. However when it is put to heavy work ie: like hauling a moose out of muskeg or loaded down it losses ground to others quickly. Also the thing I don't like is some design flaws, my 95 sportsman has the starter on the bottom of the machine, if you use it in water this must be drained immediately or you'll require a new starter which isn't real cheap. Pulling the plugs is a bear, the counter balance oil change could be easier, etc! The motor is built for high end not low end and if you use like I use a ATV you'll require motor work...I haven't b/c as stated this bike is just for riding but do hunt with 2 buddies that have needed rebuilds on Polaris 400 and 500 HO with not many miles on them! My Honda has 2800 miles on it and other than changing oil/plugs/tires/a few CV boots..gas and go has been my experience!
