2016 Poo,,,,,,,,hmmm, that's it?

[WingNutRacing]

Hmm?

If I remember correctly I had a 12 and a 13 Pro that had 4 year warranties also. Both were fully transferable to the next owner.... And my 15 has a 4 year warranty.... It is comforting to a point.


Not too worried about the engine...

 

[rulonjj]

A warranty does help with costs but not with downtime. That to me is a bigger worry than actually getting it paid for as I buy new every year or two anyway.

 

[AndrettiDog]

It's simple, if you are worried about the Poo go buy a Doo or AC.

 

[rulonjj]

Oh really? Thanks for the advice. Lol

Buy 2 or 3 if the cost isn't an issue... That should keep at least one good one in the stable. lol

 

[rulonjj]

Lol. That's what I was thinking.

I had an engine go down Feb 2014.

Took it in on Monday, missed one weekend of riding (luck would have it that I wasn't riding that weekend anyway). Had it back within 10 days.

No big whoop for me.

I think we are spoiled by having GREAT dealers around us, might explain why there isn't as many issues either.


I broke a shock and lower A arm came apart this year, old Mike had it warrantied and fixed by the next weekend......

That's EARNING business right there.......

You know where I'm snowchecking this year....

 

[Sage Crusher]

Talked to my dealer and he pointed out that the tunnel is painted not powder coated / and explained the 2 year ( power train warranty) vs the 4 year extended warranty-- Just a heads up and check what you getting vs what you thought was in black and white.. Just saying...


The online build gets expensive on paper when it's really not- MSRP is not what I am buying at as a starting point- as I have purchased every year from this multi brand dealer.
I have NOT checked yet.. but doing so before the April deadline now that I really know what's on the internet and what the dealer can / will offer ( Like tossing in ice scratchers and the such as a way of saying thanks)

I really didn't want /need the $9,999.99 extra belt anyway that was posted on the Polaris build on the internet.. LOL

painted tunnel

Cool.... My 99 700 RMK had a black painted tunnel, that took long enough to come back around....

Can you share what he said about the warranty?

I'm pretty sure you dealer is wrong..... it says powder coated tunnel, painted rails and spindles.

 

[soreloser]

the pod cast said the tunnel was powder coated as well.

 

[sno*jet]

powder coat would be sweet. it says painted on the build page? if its paint i would go black everywhere possible so the rattle can touch up will match well.

on the 99rmk painted tunnel comment, i remember reading SW mag. back when the 99 summitX h.o. was the hype. 3lbs off they said by not painting the tunnel iirc. its funny how the brands all follow suite for a while.

you are correct, it does say painted on the build sheet.......i wonder which is correct (the build sheet or the thing Scott sent us)??

And you never know, three pounds of powder coat (if it's that) might keep 15lbs of ice from building up.

I'd rather have it powder coated!!!!

There has been a lot of errors/glitches on the Polaris site that they have been slowly fixing. I think it is safe to say the tunnel will be powder coated and everything else painted.

 

[Scott]

It's my understanding that the rails and spindles are painted.
Everything else is powder coat.

 

[Jaynelson]

There's like 3 threads with people worried to death about paint vs powdercoat - is this really going to affect anyone's riding experience substantially?

I have no idea if my tunnel on my 2015 is painted or powdercoated - but I do know it's not holding back my riding LOL.
