If you've ever had a problem with Kawasaki, I'll bet it can't match this:

I have a Brute Force 650 that has run flawlessly for the six years I've owned it.

Meanwhile my $12,000 Polaris sits at the shop inoperable...

One of the reasons I bought Polaris is because they were an American company.

Joke's on me... Kawasaki opens factories in United States, while Polaris moves their factories to Mexico.

Buy a Polaris after reading that thread, and you probably deserve to lose your money.

If you have been affected by clutch/shifting problems with the 2011-2014 Polaris Ranger Diesels, or any other Polaris UTV's or ATV's, please see the following thread:

You are far from alone. There are hundreds if not thousands of other people who are affected by this same issue. The only half-proven solution is to buy an aftermarket clutch for $1500 from a separate company, which is conveniently founded by an ex-Polaris engineer.

In addition, the sticking clutch eventually leads to catastrophic transmission damage. I paid $12,000 for a Diesel Ranger in 2011, and it has been difficult if not impossible to shift for the majority of its life due to a factory-defective clutch. The sticking clutch wears out the transmission, and eventually you will be faced with a $2500 bill to have it replaced.

If you or anyone you know has been affected by this clutch, please visit the thread linked above and make your voice heard.
