1745 mile review

I have put a few miles on it since the short time I have had it. So far no problems with any of the heat related problems some people have had. I did wrap my exhaust and put some shielding on it just in case. I do get some pressure in the tank and when I notice it in the vent I just crack the cap and it goes away. Not enough that I am going to worry about. The last ride it had a oil leak from somewhere but I just put over 200 miles on it this weekend and not one drop of oil anywhere. Just a Polaris thing I guess. I am still getting 27-28 mpg and I am running the stock plug. Ride is still excellent, got all the rattles fixed from piss poor quality control and now I just need to figure out how to secure the front lid since the latches will pop open in rough terrain. The white plastic does show dirt more than normal and it stains a little more. A little scrubbing takes care of most of it. Maintenance is very easy on the machine and just did its 2nd oil change in less than 30 minutes. I sent in the oil sample on the 10W50HD and in a couple of weeks will have the results. Put some Royal Purple in it this time since I have heard good things about it with a Pure filter from Wal Mart. On a scale of 1-10 I think about an 8 would be my satisfaction. If quality control was better and the seat fit better I would give it a little higher score. So far I am very pleased with it and would buy another one at this point.
