Where's team tip on welded PTO bearing? That's my real concern..... 4 years warranty is great but when your sled is down waiting on parts that are backordered.....not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure they want all the uneducated mouth breathers to stfu. Who should any of it be your concern? You think one bearing is the end of the world? They do fail for time to time. Haven't heard anything about backordered parts that was skidoo when they had their debacle in 17 when the etec 850 came out. Same thing with the polaris mouth breathers about it at the time. Hope you enjoyed the drenching rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grinding crank that crumbles up the Poo piston skirts when they finally slap themselves apart and fail. It then throws them out a waste chute next to the exhaust. I know the EPA frowned on so many Poo metal chunks being dropped on the trails so....I think it's still in pending status? Ez..what's the upday here? Arctic Cat belt waste is just more "eco-friendly". 9 hours ago, Kev144 said: It's too late for you to make up this year but you can start sucking up now for next year at the bellagio if you want.

Any thoughts about trading it in,, as is ? Not going to spend 5400 for a new motor that is for certain. That’s fucking retarded, I’ll take the wife to Cancun or something before I do that. I have a week or two to decide. Right now it’s raining hot water up there, and there is nothing solid in the forecast through next week. I also bought that sled from the Maine Polaris rep a year ago, it was his personal sled. We’ll see what he comes up with. I’ll spend 2-3 grand if I have to, or just buy another sled. Fire sales start in anther week or two, so I’ll just keep looking. I like that new 900 turbo. A couple buddies have them and we’re raving about them after putting 1200 miles on them in Quebec. “Best sled I ever had”. And this is a guy who buys 2-3 new Skidoo’s every year.

f7ben Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Mark ......find a used motor and throw it in there.

The sad part is I loved the sled, just freshened the entire drivetrain from the belt to the shocks, got 2 linq plates mounted, nav on a RAM mount- it was all set up, tight and right. I’m not gonna not ride this year, hell I bought all new Klim gear and that Oxygen helmet too. I’ll sniff around next week and figure something out. But 5400 bucks....wtf is that all about?!

That price is polaris MSRP on a new motor assembly I'm sure. Fuck all that shit. Like I said......you like the sled and the motor letting go is a fluke. Find a good used unit and slap it in there yourself. It sucks but a 1500-2k kick in the balls is doable. A damn near 6k hit on a sled worth 8????

I've been there before........then I end up with a shed full of shit that I inevitably have to haul to the salvage yard because I have no use for it. When shit breaks I try to fix it sooner than later now .....you'll see some motors start to pop up for sale after the new year.
