10 miles on a new to me 2011 Pro and I lose most power, figured I fouled a plug. Install new plugs, still running on one cylinder. Mag side plug is still brand new shiny and dry. Spark looks good, no fuel. Can't find anything wrong so I'd start limping out on one cylinder. Ten minutes later it slowly comes back to life. Rode for 3 more hours and it ran great. What happened?
2011 pro, dead cylinder comes back to life!

First thing that happened is you got really lucky!
Most times an '11 runs on 1 cylinder, the other is trashed. Broken piston skirt, broken cylinder skirt, broken connecting rod, ect...
Hard to say for sure, but it sounds like it was a fuel delivery issue.

Injectors on 2011 sleds were often bad...
Dont ride it again till you check... those injectors should have been updated in their lifetime... Murph on here has a lot of good knowledge/experience with this issue... maybe he'll chime in.

I bought a '14 800 pro new. It ran great for about 150 miles over several rides but then during one ride it began intermittently dropping a cylinder...at first for a few seconds before it cleaned up, then 10 miles later for 30 seconds before it cleaned up. One cylinder went down 6-7 times that ride. I wondered if it was an aberration so I didn't contact my dealer.
The next ride all was fine for 5-10 miles then it began dropping a cylinder for 30-60 seconds and then 2-3 minutes. I sweated getting back to the snopark.
I took it to my dealer (Pierre's Polaris in Kenmore, WA....I can't say enough great things about them!). They told me one of my injectors had intermittently failed something like 160 times (the ECU apparently keeps track of this). Anyway, a couple days after dropping off my sled I had it back with new injectors (The updated injectors mentioned above) and my sled has run great since.
Because your sled is new to you it may have the same injector failure sequence/syndrome I experienced. My suggestion is take it to a dealer and have them connect their diagnosis tool up to it. I'd imagine you will learn the problem and then will be able to decide whether to repair it yourself or by the dealer or another mechanic.
My 2 cents....Hammer
