RE: ATV Polaris or Honda?
Stubby, I think the feature 870's ATV's were equipped with was called UOM (Underwater Operational Mode) or something like that - look up the previous post or thread for ref..
Either way, I though once BS sat around long enough it would kinda dry up, crumble and hopefully blow away, But some, it seems, just continues to rot and stink worse as time goes by.

RE: ATV Polaris or Honda?
I have a 1996 polaris 500, the only thing i had to repair over the years are 2 rubber boats that got torn from aggresive backing up in ruff terrain. I had honda, kawasaki and others, over the years and if and when i buy a new one it will be a polaris. Lots of my friends who know me and seen how i use it have been changing over to polaris.
I can fix anything but have not had to worry at all with mine. Watch out for the electric shift on the honda all the guys in our hunt club has had problems with them.
Its funny over the years how "every" atv copies the polaris in all aspects, look at the history of all other atvs. One day the will be like a good "American" made atv!

RE: ATV Polaris or Honda?
one thing i have found out about honda and yamaha is that their lack of true 4wheel drive makes them just about useless in hunting conditions. unless you have a winch plan on callin your buddies to pull u out. 3 wheel drive just doesnt cut it when u get into the real mud where the only thing underneath of that mud is more mud and so on. but this is just from my experience 3 weekends in a row where my buddy couldnt make it through a mud hole with his 3 wheel drive kodiak when i made it thru a couple of times before i even had to lock it in to true 4wheel. but i guess this is just probably another tall tale. how do you explain that stub? what about how he has no back brakes on his kodiak b/c they are junk drum? please tell me the made up stories in this one.

All machinery will break down from time to time reguardless of the brand name though on average some will break down more than others .Tires can make the difference between one atv getting stuck while another does not reguardless of the brands.However no other person on this forum has ever told a tale using nearly as much imagination as you did when you told the whopper tale about having to dive down underwater to shut off the quad engine that was still running.After that load of B.S. do you honestly expect anyone to believe anything that you say?

but according to most people on this site honda never ever will break down? and its not that the brakes are broke, they are just junk. he has replaced the whole caliper and back brake system.
