Tommy had one come off the rim on him. He was in one heck of a rut doing it though you should see the pictures. He's the only one I've known to really have any problems with one. (aside from lack of traction as I mentioned before).

yea i had one blow off the rim. and they are only 2 ply . i found they flexed alot on the sidewalls when riding on and incline or decending into a ditch. they are ok for stock tires .i cracked both front fenders going into a ditch a few months ago and i have been thinking of ways to iether fix it or replace the fenders . after messing with some camo tape i think i'm gonna replace the fenders and get some camo clad and cover all the plastic and the outer bed with it.this is cheap camo tape from walmart and i wasn't finished yet but i plan on doing the new fenders in camo clad .i think it will look pretty cool. gonna see about having it profesionally installed though i don't want no wrinkles.

to me out of all the utv stock tires they are the best. the rhino stock tires and the others don't come close to the traction you'll get with the 489's.

I was out putting along last night and the gator crapped out on me. I started getting a smell like something electrical was heating up so I didn't try to mess with it and I hauled it to the dealer this morning and they said that the fuel solenoid went out. Has any one had one of these problems. The mechanic said this was very rare. I only have 7.5 hours on it so I was suprised that it dumped so early but the dealer had a new one and we're back in business.

i had one go out on my hpx right after i got it. it was some little solenoid that screwed into the bottom of the carberator . but when it went out it shut the fuel flow off. the mechanic said to get it hack running all i would have had to do was unplug it but i didn't know at the time.

Tommy...
It didn't take him 5 minutes to replace it but 30 minutes to get all the other parts out of the way to get to it. I'm just glad that they jumped right on it. I've always been real happy with their customer service.

it's probably close to the same part that went out on mine . it's not hard to change but it's ruin your day if it goes out. lol. never trust eletronics.

Be thankful. My dealer isn't going to have a thing to do with me until fall harvest is over... We used to be farmers and bought plenty of new equipment from them totaling lord knows how much plus we still own a tractor and a bunch of mowers and other equipment all bought from them... Not to mention the possibility of trading in this hpx for something else next spring... Maybe RTV now ?
