  • 2017 Sportsman 450 HO Won't Start!

Ran fine for the next few months then when the cold weather hit, I went to go start it so that I could plow the drive, which is really the only reason I bought it in the ...

  • Axle quality
    By Steve Pate (I am an Owner) on Oct 04, 2017

    Had one axle popping after only two months and had to be replaced and 8 months later other axle is bad and needs replacing.

    500 and do not have the axle issues after 15 years. Very disappointed with quality and durability and Polaris's cavalier attitude. Last Polaris I will ever buy.

I also own a Polaris 2007 800 sportsman x2 which honestly is the best machine I have ever driven! But the 450 HO is a beautiful machine, has tuns of torque & with great pick up! A very smooth ...
