krom Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 so like I said, it must be pretty common failure if the dealer had the hose in stock. Also hearing a lot of chain tensioner failures, somthing about being plastic where the bolt pushes against.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) This has to be my favorite Polaris/dealer screw up. Look at how hot that bottom gear got. Edited January 25, 2022 by teamgreen02 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziemann Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I am seeing a lot of pics where the chain case was completely bone dry. Why are dealers or new owners not catching that stuff? It's bad enough that Polaris is missing it, but the dealer and the owner too? My chain case was down about 4 oz, which I am hearing has been pretty common for years. Outside of that, I am now pushing 600 miles. No issues since the hose warranty repair.... I was out riding the lake tonight and noticed how narrow the spread is on that headlight. It works great on the trail, but out in an open area, you have very little peripheral lighting. OH BTW- I don't care what Polaris's marketing propaganda says, compared to a Procross, or a new MX-Z, the Matryx chassis is cold. I will be needing a grandpa windshield. I am in no way able to ride in the same cold temps on this sled, that I am on my wife's ZR8000, or tonight on my buddy's MX-Z. Temps were around zero tonight, and I got damn cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps were around zero tonight, and I got damn cold. so this is bullshit? maybe you aren't sitting inside the air bubble The first time you see a MATRYX you will notice a sled with more refined styling yet still retains the Indy wedge look of the 90’s. It is clearly a Polaris, but different. One key difference is how the MATRYX is 5” narrower at the rider interface. The sculpted side panels fall away from the rider’s knees to give you more room and do not hold you back. The side panels flare up and out with new wind deflectors that create an air bubble around the rider and provide excellent rider protection, which AXYS was lacking. The added wind protection is immediately noticeable in cold conditions (we had -18 degrees F one morning to validate this). https://www.snowtechmagazine.com/2021-polaris-matryx/ welcome to the big ass windshield club https://snowmobiles.polaris.com/en-us/shop/accessories/windshields/ Edited January 25, 2022 by Crnr2Crnr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 What windshiled do you have on it, Bryan? Is it the stock "credit card" sized one or did you at least go with the mid windshield (and now need the taller one)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
