You're going to have to talk to TSV at Textron corporate in Augusta. They are the ones in charge of securing vendors, and ordering parts.

Nice to have someone look out for you. Is that the one with a Fuji engine, or did they finally switch to a a Polaris engine? Test rode a Fuji-powered 850 when we bought our 570 and it was nice. Just couldn't justify the price at the time. Now, we keep wondering if we should sell the General and get a second Sportsman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when you can’t get parts to fix a sled and they do an early build first really rubs salt in the wounds. This was pre supply chain nightmare and mine wasn’t the only sled that sat there all winter waiting on the same parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
