Throw in the stupid oil cap venting issue and it really makes you wonder WTF these manus are thinking...yeah I know bean counters and bottom lines....but WTF? Also I know it's not limited to Polaris so save it! A buddys 16 pros 8 had the same issue. he replaced four after one season and 1700mi. funny cuz i ran my new 16 switch 1679 mi last season, left it sitting on a trailer under cover all summer and not one was bad this fall. ? AND what is UP with the front a arm bushing too? his bagged out in nothing flat smh i can get these for $2.10 a piece so i can imagine what the manus pay when buying thousands.

How much more are you going to invest in them? Plus, if I keep the old pile, it's getting a skid in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm use to doing about 1500 miles a season up until the last few years. Between the baby and conditions this year I was more limited than normal. Our area is pooched. For good riding you are pretty well going to Kirkland lake to drop and go. A few buddies are in Cochrane right now and the trails are mint there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 4600 miles on this year between the 2 sleds, 2 sets of carbides otherwise flawless knock on wood. (excluding the self inflicted rollover but that has nothing to do with sled quality) Doo FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
