Thats offly pricey for a starter... Too bad.

That there is a typical Polaris story, lol. And another reason I drive a Honda.

Sounds like car parts to me...OUCH should be the name of the thread.

I have owned Hondas all my life. Ever since 1993 when my father bought me and my brother a brand new Red TRX Fourtrax 90. (and they're STILL MADE today!) I've had lots of new bikes since then, all Hondas except 1 which is an '08 Suzuki King Quad 750 4x4. (and will be my LAST Suzuki).

What I'm getting at is that Honda quality, durability, and reliability CAN'T BE BEAT. PERIOD. It's ALL I'll buy.

I too have Hondas all my life. My first Honda was a TRX70 when I was 4. From there I've had the TRX125, TRX 250, and now my Rubicon. Between there Ive had a couple big red 3 wheelers, a Yamaha 350 warrior, and a Suzuki 4x4 Quadmaster. Only trouble I've ever had with Honda's was brakes and thats been remedied with disk brakes on the Rubicon.

Thats more than car parts. I recently bought a starter for my chevy truck for less than a Benjamin

well polaris wouldnt do anything about it so he took the starter to a local repair shop and there gonna rebuild it water got into it and messed up the commentator and brushes and armature it was all outta wack the dealers told him that he shouldn't have it in water over the floor boards ??????? WTF lol God i love my honda

Kipes · 09-15-2010, 11:50 PM

Shouldnt be in water over the floor boards has been the norm ever since they started out with the belt drive, lol. There was one or two years where Polaris had gears, can anybody tell me what years???
