I have owned 4 honda quads and they were all amazing for holding up to some real abuse on our farm. Now I am an old fart and want a S x S just riding around in during hunting season and pleasure. I do want to be able to convert rear seats to bed though. I looked at polaris at the sportsman show and it was great with the enclosed cab and heater. I am a Honda fan but does the cab close up well?I heard the best for included cans is Polaris because of their tubing on their roll cages makes for a better seal.

I may add that my work uses the polaris 900's with fully inclosed cabs.....I would never own one. You can't here your self think inside of that thing it is so loud and to be honest....they are under powered and just junk. My honda will out perform our work polaris rigs.....10/10 times; faster, more agile, better ride, quieter, more power, etc... Don't take my word....drive them all and make up your own mind.

I may just look you up. I am looking for a home or property in the Wenatchee area. Thanks for the info on the pioneer.

I have bought from them. Not a bad dealer. :tup: If ya can get freight setup charges waived there ya doing something right! Oregon has some dealers with really good prices sometimes as well. Shop em and use prices to compare/compete from other dealers. It works for me, most times dealer will match.
Will do. I am sure they ding you for Wa sales tax if you buy in Or though.

I bought a can-am and got a 3 year unlimited miles warranty and then talked the dealer into another 3 year warranty on them. 6 years unlimited miles!!!!
Post by: bornhunter on September 21, 2019, 07:58:57 PM
Make sure you look at the warranty Polaris is usually like 6 months to a year. Way to stand behind their machine! spend 30k as much as a new truck and get a 6 month warranty. such a joke

I have to go look at the can am. My buddyn n montana has one on his farm over there and he swears by bit. Works it hard and it doesnt break. I am pretty sure Polaris is off my list.

I installed a soft cab and windshield in my teryx4. Keeps us nice and dry but seems to amplify the cab noise.How many break downs have ya had? :tup: Good choice of machine imop.
Post by: bornhunter on September 22, 2019, 03:04:14 PM
Riding in NorthStar Ranger is good. Ride is little rough but tire pressure and shock adjustments help. Noise is decent, its not loud but not quiet. You can talk loud to each other. Rain drips and a rattle are present. Always need adjusting. Doors are HEAVY and hinge pins wear quickly. Kawasaki has 3 year warranty that is FREE!!! Ya wont need it though. No cabs though. A new Kawa is coming in October 7 2019.?? It seems you should check out the X4 Yam. Heard lots of good things but no experience yet. Very nice cabs and very quiet. Soft ride. Good price point. I wanted to possibly buy the Yam x4 but after having a Teryx before the WIFE?BOSS! said No, Teryx4, tough comfy and doesn't break! She loves it. Honestly I would not buy Polaris Ranger without a HUGE warranty because you will 98% need it for repairs. Not opinion, its a fact. Even after the improvements Polaris made in 2019 it still is a fragile 2100lb machine. Japanese/USA built utvs are the toughest hands down. Yamaha has what a 10 year belt warranty? Same belt system as Kawasaki runs. They last forever. But, all makes do have some issues, the question is do ya want to fix a Transmission or differential or a gas tank vent or squeaky bushing? Google YOUTUBE "Dirt trax" they have good info reviews on all these. May help ya decide. And keep in mind they are sponsored by Polaris and Canam yet speak highly of Yam Kawa and Honda 4 seaters.Good tip. Thank you.

Mudman I've had no breakdowns. I only have about 1500 miles on it. At around 1k mile mark I went up around my house and it started running really bad and had almost no power, I tore the cab apart and put plugs in it and that fixed it. Seemed kind of odd. Great machine. I run 28" mudlites.I also have 28 mudlight I switch too once awhile. Little rough but decent. Good in mud n such. Bighorns I run mostly. Fuel vent mod? I need to fix it soon. Have you? Do if not. easy cheesy insurance.

I ended up getting it from Paulsens Powersports in Great Falls. I saved over 10K which more then paid for the trip over and back. My main reason i went with the Can Am is their Rotax engine. It is being used in experimental aircraft and up in the sky one can't just get out and walk home.

I did the fuel tank vent mod when I did my spark plugs. I run through a lot of mud and dust and stuff and my tank was squeaky clean inside. I haven't rode it much at all in the last year. My wife had a baby. Now we are a family of 5, so i been looking at the bench rear seat. Turn my t4 into a t5.Mudman I've had no breakdowns. I only have about 1500 miles on it.

Since we do ride in the desert a lot, we decided to get better equipped rigs. Keeping the work rigs but, adding a total toy. I'm taking delivery of a Can AM X3 XRS RR tomorrow. :chuckle:

I have a 2016 1000 5-S. My friend bought a Polaris Ranger 1000 at the same time. Honda has a better ride and is much quieter than the Ranger. He uses his for work nearly every day all summer. We ride together almost daily all winter in the desert. Apples to Apples, in our first 2,500 miles, the Polaris has been in the shop for a clutch issue, brake problems, electrical problem and a noise in the front end. The Honda has had scheduled oil changes and a couple little recall things like a rubber mat under the seat, a heat shroud on the exhaust and a gas pedal safety thing. His Polaris now has 5K miles and all the problems seem to be gone except weird noises and clunky sounds on the clutch which have become just the norm. The Honda driving position is better between the two however, that is a personal preference. Performance, they are about the same. He can go anywhere I can go and vice versa. They both top out about 65mph. They are about the same speed in a drag race. I think the Honda maybe a touch faster because of the transmission. He broke a belt in the sand dunes. Honda has no belt to break. Otherwise, minus his added time in the shop I think both are really good rigs and do the same things very well.

Thanks for that input. Helped seal the deal for honda. BTW, dont get hurt with that new toy!

However, I would call the dealer in Okanogan. He had a couple rigs he was interested in selling and his price was the best around except it wasn't exactly what I wanted.
Guys who wouldn't deal; Enumclaw, Lynnwood, Wenatchee, Ride(same group from here to Florida) and I-90 in the short discussion I had with them. I was impressed with the Can Am in between play and work machine. The have a couple in Fife. I would try giving them a call because they actually seemed motivated to sell and went below anyone elses price I found in the last few months of searching.
