Extended Warranty-Glad I Had IT

For those of you on the fence about getting it, I recomend it!!!!!!!! I got the Polaristar Protection Plus. Radiator developed a leak on the top, inside above the fan. COVERED!!! Front diff. had been making a weird noise, turned out to be the bearings. COVERED!!!! Diff. fluid changed @ 1,000 miles. 1,478 miles on it now. This is on momma's wheeler so it was not abused in any way & rode mostly on trails with a few water crosssings. This has taken a big bite out of the price of the ext. warranty. The radiator was squirting coolant from 3 different places in about 3/4" spot. Like I said glad I had it!!!!

Agreed! I think it's a wise choice as well!

@ Sportsman Rider. Kind of inbetween a grinding & a vibration sound. At first thought it was the a-arm guard loose or hitting on the wheel studs on the inside of the spindle. But it was tight & not hitting, had plenty of clearance. Hard to explain how it sounded & it started after about 300 miles. Could also hear it when front was off the ground, turning the wheels by hand. I could tell it was coming from the front diff..


@ Rash. $770 for 3 years of coverage. I went with Zurich on the green wheeler for $600 for 3 years of coverage. They have paid to replace a wheel bearing so far. 2,680 miles & thats the only thing that has gone bad on greenie so far. (knock on wood) lol!! I wanted to see which one would be better for future reference!

That's way too much money for a extended warranty for a ATV. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a ATV that I thought would need a extended warranty.

I'm going to get the Polaris $50 deductible 5yr for my 12 850 XP EPS.
It can be bought for $820 from a dealer online. Ask for Frank @ Motor Sports Super Center in Alabama 1-888-880-2277 if your interested. I called him a few weeks ago and confirmed and will be buying it here in the next few weeks.
