looks like you got the biggest thing done.

your going to have to replace the front cage soon (if you havent already) but other than that those bikes are pretty bullet proof from the factory.

dont crank the handlebars and ream on it with mud tires.... that is probably one of the best ways to prevent problems....

My cage lasted 2 years with 2000 miles on it
The replacement is different and it will probably last untill I buy a new bike.:peace:

mine lasted less than 20 hours (from the factory)

i just replaced it with the john deere one and its working flawless so far. but honestly i think my factory one wasnt up to specs when i bought the bike. i had 4x4 issues from the start. it would randomly lock into 4x4 off and on if you were doing a water wheelie. since i replaced it that has stopped.


and thanks for the comment. i love my bike :)

The old style was made out of white plastic. The new ones are Black and a little bit bigger and beefier looking

i still think mine was defective from the factory.

thats what i replaced mine with is the one from john deere.

it was 74.00 for the kit. polaris wanted 230.00 for theirs.

but ill tell you right now, they are getting as rare as a virgin in high school. there were only 2 available in the eastern united states when i bought mine a few weeks ago and i got both of them.
