I think so unless you've done something to it to cause the problems like running it through a pond without snorkels, lifting it 6 inches and breaking CVs, etc. I've had my rzr a year and i haven't had any problems with it whatsoever. In the mean time, my friends have broken a rhino and 4 atvs riding right behind me.

 

Justin,
I ride hard in the dunes and have not had one prob not even a hi-cup now the power that is a hole other thing. can you get a extended waranty at this point? if you have keep good recoreds on everything I mean time, date,place.what happen you can go back on them. I had to do that on a coach I paid $130,000 and in one year I had $56,000 worth of waranty repairs done that was it I went to court and settled for $35,000 for out of pocket exspense. It was truly a lemon.

I can speak for myself and 3 of my buddies, all 2009 'S' models. Between 1000 - 1500 miles and no problems other then a broken steering wheel strut. Sure sounds like a fluke in your case, definetly check into local lemon laws.

 

Not too bag on the chinese clone but a 350cc? Is that fun after 5 minutes. I think a kawasaki Mule could beat it in a drag. :rofl3:

The rzr is a quality machine which has had some issues but for the most part been reliable for the masses. The airbox was the biggest thing that Polaris kept trying to fix with a band aid. The new airbox for the 900 xp looks way better.

 

I agree with the above posts, the reliability of my 2008 RZR has been great!
It has over 4,000 miles on it, and has met my expectations in every way.

It really sounds you may have a lemon, and one of a very few.
Sorry to hear about your troubles...

 

Just wait for your friend to have problems then it will sit for a long time. Big problem with Chinese junk is parts they are very hard to get. More importantly, I have not seen any Chinese toy that was near the quality of American made stuff, they break often. Sounds like your friend has been lucky.

 

The chinos are getting better--same as the japanese got better. Only much faster.
It's not that I never had any problems with my 2 Rzrs, the 2 chinese buggies, or the others. Really it's my definition of "problem". Any machine that breaks or bends when flipped or run into a tree, weld cracks from trail pounding, rust from water crossings & putting it away wet, etc are not "problems" to me. That's all part of the offroad sport. I haven't experienced any manufacture-related problems with any of my offroad machines.

 

I'd like some real world feedback on this... It's not a clone but combines many nice elements from many machines...

I've heard all of the Chinese POS rhetoric and I'm not a fan of chinese stuff myself but there are a few good machines out now like the Kymcos for instance so save everybody's time if all you have to contribute is negative speculation.

I'm just wondering if anybody actually owns one or has seen one and can speak first hand about it ?

Heard they are going to try running the Wolverine in GNCC this upcoming year. And also last race I was in last year they had another on don't remember what they called it but it finished a 4 hour endurance race if that says anything for it...Do'nt know with a little tweaking to the motor and suspension you could have a really nice machine!

 

I studied the Wolverine closely for a while. The problem that scared me off was driving 500 miles to North Carolina just to look at one. When I was looking, I ran across a fellow down in Florida who bought the Rhino clone off the interenet from Texas. He indicated he was happy with it, but hadn't had it long. I ain't brave enough to buy one sight unseen from the net.

 

Is there anything on your RZR that broke that hasn't been covered under warranty?
If so, why/why not?

If it's under warranty and it broke under normal use, then they should cover it. If you've had to outlay a ton of money I'd be asking the same question.

My experience with my used RZR is that I haven't had an issue with anything. My battery is dead from not using it enough, but that's not Polaris' fault... that's mine.

 

I didn't get to use the warranty at all. Now the pitiful 6 month warranty is up and I have no warranty as of now. I didn't see the point of paying another $1,500 to Polaris for more warranty if they don't cover anything for me as it is...

I sound lately like I'm bashing the rzr badly. I don't mean to do that but my god can't I just go trail riding with my brand new $16,000 machine and come home happy?

I agree the Chino isn't half the machine that the rzr is when you get down looking close and when you compare the ability to find parts and service but the bottom line is this little Chino comes home safe every time and drives where my rzr does. Why can't I get my rzr home safe every time. LOL

Someone said in a post on another thread that once you keep replacing all the faulty parts you will have a good reliable machine but is that really what someone should have to do? Isn't the $16,000 enough to pay to be reliable?

 

I have one of the wolverine 800's....not the typical chinese crap at all. It's not perfect but it sure is quick and works well.

The suspension is the weak link.

 

thoes have to be the shortest arms ive ever seen

 

They are the issue behind the stiff suspension...they also allow it to be 50" wide and 12.6 GC on 25's ...good with the bad. Don't forget, those are 28-12" wides on it in the pic.

 

Not fair to call it a rzr clone, if anything they should call it a rzr/rhino hybrid

 

It should really be called a rzr/rhino/can-am clone...I call mine a Chine-Am.

 

There is always these. Made in America. Smaller but may be a good starter for the kids. They have a 300 and 150 CC. Check out everything it comes with. Harnesses for one thing.
