fortune46x Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 my 22 rxc is heading to the dealer I think next week , no sense in keeping it if I can sell it and get something new next fall since the market is so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat really needs to drop a banger this year for me to buy a new Cat. Maybe a used RXC or RR but definitely not a new one unless they make some big changes. I like the 136 XCR but the Polaris motors just don't hold up like they should. Do I buy another Cat 6000 and put another 10k trouble free miles on it or go with Polaris' new experiment and ruin half a season with it in the shop? I think this year's quality control at Polaris has been a bigger concern than the engines themselves. Look at guys like @Doug who put on some good miles each season (between 3K and 4K usually). I also think @Ziemann is a good one to look at for input as I'm pretty sure he's been happy with the switch (minus his coolant hose debacle). All things being equal with manufacturers needing to deal with the EPA bullshit ... they all have pretty equal reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t herd much on the new 650 Polaris but any of their twin cylinder engines under 800cc have been bomb proof over the years.

Wonder how much of it is flat out shitty quality control on the production lines? I mean, the coolant hose debacle is costing a lot of people seat time this season (my riding buddy has 2 new 650's ... one for his wife & one for his daughter ... and both are in the shop until the coolant hose is in stock). And it could have been 100% avoided if someone knew enough to line up marks during the build process. I also wonder how many people are self inflicting themselves by taking delivery and just running their sleds in the garage off and on without really riding it ... and screwing up the break-in process?

Check in with Mag6240 he's been putting on some miles. He's got a pic where his 2018 just turned 10,000 miles. Friend has also a 2018 with 9200 miles and motor hasn't missed a beat. On the other hand you do see some go down. I'm on my 4th 850 and been getting a new sled every year lately. The sleds that I've traded have all been around 4000 miles without issue. My 2021 Maytrx which is my old that my wife now drives has 6300 miles. I'll be riding with a guy on a 650 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '18 800 is the one I'll be riding the rest of the season. I think there is a difference from '18 to '21 for reliability. But that is just a guess on my part, with the Covid issues and all.

There's no excuse for people being down due to the hose issue. Any simpleton can install a hose spice and you're back in service. I don't understand why people don't just fix it until a permanent solution is offered by Polaris. I think the overall design and engineering are decent. I agree 100% @Bontz that these are mostly quality control issues that can be corrected. I have several annoying issues with my '22 VR1, but nothing critical. I am at 1000 miles..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
