We bought a 425 magnum when they first came out, major engine problems twice! This was their first attempt at a 4-stroke engine. The first time the engine oil tank accumulated enough condensation to freeze up the intake to the engine, so it seized up. This was partially my fault as I was starting it up and driving it less that a mile to a fish house. But the oil suction fitting should not be right at the bottom of the reservoir! The second time the timing chain broke causing crankcase damage. The newer ones seem more reliable and I never had a problem with the belt, but I attribute that to how I drove it, either go or stop, no dawdling and slipping the belt, and I used low range a lot, especially for pulling. We bought my wife a Honda so we had something reliable to pull me out of the woods with! If I was going to plow snow or something like that I would stick to the belt drive, because there is no hesitation for shifting and you need to go fast to plow snow properly. I had a hard time selling the Polaris but eventually got rid of it and now we have two Honda's!
