“When I ride this brand new sportsman xp 1000 the exhaust system gets glowing red hot, plastic fenders near the exhaust are untouchable, rear tire is extremely hot, and some grass that was thrown onto the exhaust caught fire. This is a two week old atv with 13 miles on it. I am not riding this machine hard. This occurred while driving the machine for about 10 minutes at a minimal RPM. Polaris says this is normal break in occurrences. These machines will catch an owner's property on fire and/or hurt someone substantially if this problem is not resolved immediately.”
