Polaris Cyclone ATV

Looking for detailed discussion of Cyclone ATV's... Maybe some loyal Polaris owner can post some pics of their Cyclone. Anyone good at maintaining or repairing their Cyclone have advice here on mods or recurring problems with the Cyclone 4 wheeler.

The site here has a classified ad section for ATV's in general and you can use it for the Cyclone in particular (used Polaris parts trading or whatever), just use the classifieds section of the site for this stuff.

As for parts, the site here lists the common Cyclone part suppliers here. There is not much here that you probably haven't already heard of, but they're listed here anyway.

In a nutshell, the group forum works for:

• Cyclone Questions
• Cyclone Photos
• Cyclone Restorations
• Cyclone Rider Reviews
• Cyclone Parts Wanted

There have been repeated common complaints from riders over the years. Here are some of the biggest complaints about Polaris Cyclone ATVs:

First, the electrical issues: Some riders have reported electrical problems, such as issues with the battery, wiring, starter, cdi, and cable connections, and a few electronic components. These issues can lead to difficulties starting the Cyclone ATV or intermittent functionality of electrical systems.

Transmission Problems... There have been reports of Cyclone transmission-related issues, including difficulties with shifting gears and transmission failures. These issues can affect the smooth operation of the ATV and may require costly repairs.

Overheating... Some Polaris ATV models have been reported to overheat, particularly in hot weather or during heavy use. Overheating can lead to engine performance issues and potential long-term damage. The Cyclone was included in this bunch unfortunately.

Belt Problems... Polaris ATVs often use a CVT (continuously variable transmission) with a belt drive system. Some users have experienced issues with the drive belts, including slippage, premature wear, or breakage. This can affect the ATV's ability to transfer power effectively. If the Quad doesn't have the CVT, obviously you won't here any complaints.

Suspension and Steering Issues... There have been complaints about the durability and performance of Cyclone suspension and steering components. Issues such as worn bushings, loose steering, and shock absorber failures have been reported. Were these weak links made in China? Who knows...

Quality Control... Some riders have expressed concerns about the overall build quality and reliability of certain Polaris ATV models including the Cyclone. Complaints include poor fit and finish, loose components, and frequent need for repairs. I don't see this as being a common problem so it would be nice to see some examples of the components in question.

Plastic Body Panels... There have been complaints about the durability of the Cyclone plastic body panels. Riders have reported that the panels can crack or break easily, especially under rough riding conditions. This is common if you're going to beat the heck out of any ATV, not only the Cyclone.

Fuel System Issues... Some Polaris ATV models have experienced fuel system problems, including fuel pump failures and issues with fuel delivery, leading to poor engine performance or stalling. I know there are plenty of content Polaris owners so I would expect some of these Polaris complaints are even that common.

The Polaris Cyclone was a sport ATV that was produced during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, the Polaris Cyclone 250 was part of the Polaris lineup during this period. The last year the Polaris Cyclone was produced was 1990. After that, Polaris shifted its focus to other models and designs within its ATV lineup. The Cyclone is now considered a classic model from the early days of Polaris ATVs.

If there are any of these machines still out there, they're probably well worn by now.
