Well I am really starting to regret this purchase.
350 miles / 500 kms and so far:

- 2 coolant leaks
- issues in starting that resolved itself once at the dealership
- starter sometimes drags
- super super touchy throttle because of the clutch spring and weight factory setup
- intermittent winch issue, sometimes the ‘In’ doesn’t work
- dead cells in my Rear taillights both on the red and orange rears.

And of course happening after it has come off warranty.

ooof.... sorry to hear about this. I would think most of those could be addressed by the dealer and warrantied. I hope you can get this stuff resolved with out having to do all sorts of gymnastics.
Keep the board updated its always good to have input whether good or bad.

I've always been a moto type of guy but at 55 now I cant afford to get hurt. Due to all the great reviews I decided to give it a try with a 23 800 trail. If it starts giving me issues it will be up for sale ASAP at a good price.

Factory QC aside, like anything else, if you know and understand what it is and what it's designed for and treat it as such, it will give you good service. Abuse and/or neglect it and pay the piper.

Find a better dealer.

The one I had did a really fine job and the only issue I've had is taking out one tail light.
Me . . gravel spray hitting hard enough to knock it silly.

Ive met a few other people that purchased from the same dealer that have had zero issues.

Push the dealer to fix what they likely screwed up, take it home and go through it with a fine tooth comb.
