Title: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: bigAl300ex on December 16, 2008, 03:45:28 AM I'm thinking about purchasing a 2006 Polaris Outlaw (independent rear suspension) quad from a co-worker. Does anyone in this forum own one or knows someone personally that does? I have heard good things about the IRS system from some other people that have rode or own one. Any advice or opinions (good or bad) would be greatly appreciated. Is it worth my money even at a cheap price? Help me out guys!

Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: bigAl300ex on December 16, 2008, 07:47:14 PM Why, what is wrong with the regular Outlaw 500? Is something wrong with that type of motor or transmission? Not enough torque? Please, let me know.

have fun Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: bigAl300ex on December 16, 2008, 11:45:26 PM Thanks for the info. I am trying to be open-minded about this. I never been a Polaris fan, but I know some people who have own them and they never had any problems (even the 4x4s). I've always owned Hondas because of reliability. The Outlaw I saw is very clean and I do like that IRS set-up with a sport bike.
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: klutchbuster400 on December 17, 2008, 01:15:22 AM I don't like the polaris. Every one I've known has had problems that other brands dont.
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: bigAl300ex on December 17, 2008, 02:51:48 AM What are the specific problems these Polaris owners had that other quads don't?

Not closed minded. Just experienced!!!have fun Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: Scramdaddy on December 17, 2008, 11:37:28 AM I say buy it, I love my Polaris. But by all means, never buy a KLR 650.
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: PREDOCROSS on December 18, 2008, 10:15:14 AM The Fuji motor in the Outlaw 500 is manufactured in Japan. It is a very reliable motor. It responds well to simple mods, but has a poorly designed air intake. Go to www.predatorowners.com to find out everything you would ever want to know about it. Sounds like a good price to me.
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: yfz122 on December 18, 2008, 12:22:48 PM For that price I might even change my mind.
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: bigAl300ex on December 18, 2008, 10:59:38 PM Just wondering if the Outlaw 525 has a lot more bottom end than the Outlaw 500?
Title: Re: Polaris Outlaw questions/help? Post by: yfz122 on December 19, 2008, 11:51:54 AM Just wondering if the Outlaw 525 has a lot more bottom end than the Outlaw 500? More power on bottom, mid, and top. The 525 also has a lighter chassis. |
