What owners report
I WAS DRIVING DOWN TRAIL, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST MY POWER STEERING, CAUSING ME TO GO OFF TRAIL AN HIT A BIG ROCK THROWING ME OVER HANDLE BARS, GOOD THING I HAD HELMET ON, BUT I DID BREAK MY FINGER ON MY LEFT HAND,
I BOUGHT A 2016 POLARIS 450 SPORTSMAN FROM A LOCAL NY DEALER IN JUNE AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I WENT OUT ON IT WITH 4 MILES, IT STOPPED WORKING SO I HAD TO BE TOWED BACK. THE DEALER PICKED IT UP AND TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE ISSUE WHICH WAS THAT THE CVT WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED SO THE BELT GOT WET. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT ANY LASTING ISSUES BUT THEY ASSURED ME I WOULD HAVE NONE. THE SECOND TIME WITH NOT EVEN 20 MILES ON IT, THE WHEELER DID NOT SHIFT RIGHT AND WAS POPPING OUT OF GEAR SO THEY PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. WENT AWAY THIS PAST WEEKEND AND WITH 40 MILES ON IT, IT STARTED OVER HEATING. I CALLED THEM WHILE I WAS ON THE TRAIL AND THEY SAID TO PRESSU
