Is this a friday machine for do others had the same problem? I ask on behalf of my neighbor who has an 08SP500X2. Wires in the harnass broke at the handle bars due to the harnass being fashened too tight. The quad quit and would run when the bars were turned. He contacted the local dealer and learned they are aware of the problem but no help is available from Polaris.

Four wires were broken and numerous others had cracked insulation, ready to break.

We did much the same type of repair. We added some extra wire to the broken ones then re-installed the split tubing. Just replace a few tie-wraps to allow some additional flex in the harnass.

Is this problem just with the X2? My other neighbor just picked up an used 2009 SP500 with only 480 miles and will be checking for a tight harnass.
