I have a Polaris 500 2006 Sportsman. Ran it for first time last year, got a few 'bugs' out. Then this year, first ride out, my plastic fenders melted!!
With some checking, it seems to happen a lot and a bit of a design flaw. The older models have a better design etc. A 'heat kit' has been mentioned to me but none of my repair shops have ever heard of such a thing. I wrapped the portion of the pipe that has no protection (dumb) with hedder tape and taped the fenders back on as they dont fit right any more due to melting.
My repair shop has told me that the Polaris is on the bottom of the list as the worst machine to work on and most problems. I am not a happy quadder.
