Not the first time I have seen that. ATV dealer had a $100/hr shop rate for all quads, except Kawasaki was $125 an hour. His reason, his mechanics hated working on Kawasaki because they are such a pain to even change a plug on. As a result he had to pay them more or they wouldn't work on them. He was a Kawasaki dealer, along with a couple of other brands. I can't say I blame him, I had told all my buds and relates, for whom I did a fair amount of quad fixing, that any Kawasaki they bought had to go to the dealer for repairs, I wouldn't work on them.
I am betting it is the same issue with Argo, though I never found them near as bad as a Kawasaki to work one.
