Got bad news.......Cracked frame.....

[QuadJunkies]

WEll we took in the Predator to have some last minute things looked over before the 6 month warrenty kicked out and to have ther advice on a steering issue, and just as I suspected.....Two cracks in the frame:mad: :grr: on both sides of the tank!!!! and a bent steering stem .Good news is. Polaris has been replacing the frames and it looks like from what the dealer told us, it ahould be that for us too.Ill feel better when I get it in writing first:confused: Any of you Predator owners out there, be sure and check this out before your warrenty is up.In our case we have 4 years of extended also, so it would have been covered anyways .but this way its free.;) Ive seen a few others hae this issue on the first born Predators. Save yourself a headache later and check it over ............Tina ;)

i have a worry about a weld by the front bumper, I will take a picture of it whenever i get home and hopefully it will show. see if you guys think it will be a problem in the future. Im not too worried about it yet. I have only had it for 6 days.

btw: how much does it cost to get the extended warrenty, and can i still get it after i have already purchased the quad. I would think just as long as my 6 month is still good?? :confused:

Tell troy to loose a couple pounds and maybe the thing wouldn't have so many troubles:D :D

If you have a crack in your frame....your not riding safe:eek2: ..The extended warrenty varies from state to state in price for me it was 500.00 I think for 4 years...worth EVERY dime .We all know how fast 500.00 adds up on a quad. I have talked with other Predator owners on another forum who had as little as 12 hours and cracked there frames.:( ..I dont think you can by the warrenty after signing your contract already, but its worth calling your dealer and asking them. There may be a grace period.....;)

Tina, the guy that raced with us this season on a PRedator had same thing happen in same exact place....add in repeated front and rear brake caliper freezing, breaking, locking up, etc....and you have nothing but a headache for him.......JIM
