2018 Polaris Sportsman® 450 H.O.

I needed something for doing different jobs on my farm without breaking the bank and the 450 fit the bill perfectly. Has plenty of power and smooth ride. Happy I purchased this atv.

Great machine love it however the first time riding it a hub cap fell off, never found it. Right side steps two bolts came out and was lost. I got now about 600 miles on it. Maintenance is pretty easy stuff however the last time i rode the machine kept shutting down so I turned around and I had ... no gear selection . The Gear linkage bushing had came off and was also lost because I was riding. Got a replacement on Ebay for $5.00. No check engine light. Got home and the air filter was completely sucked inside of itself causing paper and metal to go into engine I always blow my air filter out every other time I ride. no support from Kawasaki Medford Oregon after emailing pictures etc so I am not happy about that

I bought the wheeler 6 weeks ago with 13 miles on it. i've put over 400 on it in a short time. speeding, 2 up, hard trail riding, deep water, thick brush, pulled logs out of the woods, pulled a shed onto a trailer. I bought a snowblower attachment and customized it to fit the wheeler for use this ... winter. for the cheapest 4x4 wheeler around, I am solidly impressed by the performance. the ride is comfortable and the seat is awesome. The only things i dont like about it is the clanking over bumps from what I think is the pinion gears but havent looked hard enough to confirm and its that way on a co-workers 2016 570 also. and that it takes a few cranks to start. I put a wes 2 up seat on it, fender guards, metal racks. and it came with a winch. i will also be putting on a front bumper.

I bought mine to plow our driveway and for trail riding. I love it very much. I have since went out and bought a windshield, and rear cargo box,and mirrors. very happy with my machine. Thanks polaris
