Im startin to really hate my pred! Its a blast when its runnin. Keepin it runnin is the hard part. Im takin it back to the shop for the 3rd time due to it not startin. First time they had to adjust the valves so that was fine....next time they had to replace 2 of the rockers because they mushroomed. Now it won't start again so i gotta take it to the shop and see what is wrong with it!

Here are some pics of a good old honda! that i use to get it up to the driveway to hook it up to the truck!

I'll agree with that i have never had a problem with any of the honda atv's atc's and dirtbikes. But i got a polaris now and i can't keep the damn thing running! I try to stick up for polaris and say they are gettin better. But its kinda hard to do that when it keeps breakin! But when it is running it holds its own.

That is unreal. I know of a few of us local that have preds. I just got mine so I don't really count. None of the guys I know have had any problems. All machines have always ran perfect.

I do know of a couple 450R's that can't seem to stay together.

See. Do you see many of our trikes having these problems? No. Dump them junker golf carts and go with the sure-fire oldschool trike. lol.

Well got news from the dealer today. I won't have my bike for a week!! They don't know why it keeps mushrooming the valves so they are replacing the head on my atv with a new one to see if that will fix it for me.....my weekend off and i won't have my atv....looks like im gonna have to steal my dads 350x when hes not home.

Sounds like they are really trying to do the right thing and get your quad in the shape it should be in. Ask for a loaner for the weekend, I would! Maybe an Outlaw for the weekend, hehe.
