Owner report 10691946 · 2015-03-03 (March 3, 2015)
THERE IS A RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP FOR SAFETY REASONS AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING DATES THAT POLARIS WILL HAVE THE FUEL PUMP. FIRST IT WAS MID-FEBRUARY AND AS OF TODAY WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID POLARIS HAS REMOVED THE DATE AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN THERE WILL BE ONE REPLACED PER THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTED PUMP. I GUESS THE BIKE HAS TO STALL WHILE I AM USING IT CAUSING A CRASH BEFORE POLARIS FEELS THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING. *TR

Owner report 10195510 · 2007-07-06 (July 6, 2007)
THE REAR BRAKES ON MY MOTORCYCLE WERE WORN OUT AT 2,800 MILES. LUCKILY, I NOTICED THIS BEFORE I HAD REAR BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE FOUND THE EXHAUST IS TOO CLOSE TO THE REAR BRAKE PIPE CAUSING THE FLUID TO HEAT AND EXPAND AND THE REAR BRAKES TO DRAG. *TR
