Lets take a look at this from the manufacturer's side, in this case-Polaris. Now what do you think they would do if the same situation happened with the test riders? Oh, excuse me, I forgot to advise all of you, that any new sleds purchased as a snow check and or off the dealer floor by any of you, you now become an statistic with the engineers. They are taking bets how long you run that new sled b4 it grenades a famous Polaris motor, most notably, the 800 mill. Oops, lets get back to the question above. I'm betting the entire Polaris engineering staff would be advising the Polaris CEO to get the chopper in there and get there POS out of there, and quickly. And I believe since any owner of a new Polaris is really an extension of Polaris's R&D department, should be re-imbursed for the expenses. That would make the damn engineering dept accountable, and get their heads out of their A$$'s, and build a dependable sled like yester years. Yep, if you're going to shell out $12K or better for less reliabilty, Polaris needs to stand behind their product then. Anyone smell Toyota here?
