I'm sure he gave you credit 😂 There’s a “kid” in our club who works at Polaris - (he’s 30ish but we call him the Kid) and I told him if he wanted to get an idea into the engineers heads and be right for once, this one could be his idea. Obviously hasn’t made its way to the development table yet… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense to put a deflector on the jackshaft bearing but none on the drive shaft bearing where it's in a harsher environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bold: Funny you say that - someone with excellent knowledge over there on HCS said the exact opposite when I proposed the idea. He never responded after I showed the results.

When Polaris use to have their performance seminars he was in one of the sessions I was in. He was driving the presenter nuts quoting the manual and the presenter was talking more real world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him being pretty adamant about "This is referenced in post XYZ" with all of his service manual links. Definitely a good guy, and one who always was trying to help ... but could give a feeling of rubbing people the wrong way. The earlier post re: "someone with excellent knowledge" ... I couldn't help but think to myself, Phill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 My dealer has this 2020 Pro-S sled and it is nice. Oil pump went out and new motor was put in. Track looks great and studded also has hi/lo adjust shocks all the way around, mirrors and heated seat. Listed for $8599. But the sled has 8600 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not bad with a complete new motor from Polaris. Especially with the Hi/Low shocks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
