His Polaris Assault 800 with only 800 miles lost all the compression on PTO side at Big Horns some 900 miles away from his home on second day of 8 day stay. The mechanic pulled VES out and can see the ring below the piston. His Polaris dealer in Wisconsin called local dealer in Wy to get his sled fixed but found out that the parts are backordered leaving him stranded next 6 days without sled. Not even his Wisconsin dealer have the parts to ship to him because of backordered parts. WTF?????? Why are pistons/ top end rebuild backordered? I am under the impression there are serious problems going on Polaris 800 engines????? He probably has to ride a rental. Should Polaris cover his rental charge and how can it be done?

2 assults 2 dragons in my group all went POOF and only one of them was done in 3weeks and that took a call to Polaris industries and a chat with a VP parts were hand delivered to the dealer but for the other 3 sleds-----not good polaris sure is dragging ther feet....
ya Id say a rental should be paid for by polaris but GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
wow this is getting pretty bad had the same thing happen to my assault drove the same distance from southeast Mn to togwotee mountain lodge for seven day trip lost both cylinders had to rent whole trip not very happy one bit with the sled!
Sorry to hear it fellas but.. FOR RENT: 97 RMK 700 $125/day, 4 day minimum WAC. Will deliver in central WY. Hurry, I only have one! Guaranteed not to leave you stranded or your $$ back (minus repair costs for questionable damage as determined by me).

Polaris should foot the rental bill and buy your lunch everyday too !!
