I'm thinking of buying a used Raptor. What are the "common" problems associated with tese machines? How often is the chain supposed to be adjusted on them, etc.? When was reverse first offered on them?

I have a 2003 that I am having problems with the rear chain adjustment. It has been raced since new and this is a new polaris factory swing arm, problem is that it keeps rotating foward in which it rotates the cam and loosens my chain durring normal conditions. Thanks, email me @ polaris.rmk@hotmail.com Oh ya this has won me 206 1st place awards so I'd have to say that it is better than a stupid yamahammer!LOL thanks guys! Adam #308
