I've got a snappy one - especially for only have a couple hours on it. But..... running SLP clutch kit (spring and weights). The all stock one we have definitely feels different.

What is the best way to get around this? Slightly higher engagement? Different weights? Different helix?

Higher engagement will make it less noticeable but is not ideal on a MTN sled, you don't want it trenching every time you take off. The adjustable weights will help as it changes the weight profile. A stiffer finish rate on the primary will also allow for less clutch weight. The trick is to make these changes without the clutches getting to hot or not shifting properly.

I'm not sure there is cause for panic on a few seizures this early.
Any bearing failure, center, outside, or big end bearing, is ,usually, the direct result of oil starvation or simply a sub-standard bearing.
Time will tell soon enough if this is an epidemic.
For now, I'm riding mine . If it let's me down, then it's under warranty.
Not a press fit. No inner race.not pinned. Clutch slamming. Moves
But what about build date on the VIN tag,.. I think this is more important than delivery location.
Thanks,
I don't mean to make a big deal about it.
But would like a discussion about it, some investigation.
Everyone has ignored it but from what i have read, i believe there are more engines down with the center bearing seizure than PTO seizure.
By no means an epidemic.
I guess i will shut up now and just wait, watch, and listen.

The no ride bulletins in the RZR world were very common and made plenty of people upset, I agree that this might be a more subtle way of telling customers "in a nice caring way" to bring your new sled in and well check it out for ya!
I dont have exact figures, but I put way more miles on my XPT than my sleds and spend way more money on it as well. The STOP RIDING IMMEDIATELY on your new 25K dollar machine is never what anyone wants to hear (even if theres a chance of it burning to the ground)
I think polaris learned something from that experience!
Also im assuming that the 850's have the check valve built into them like previous years? So in theory crankcase pressure "cant" push the lines off.
The center bearing failure sleds has it been confirmed that the lines were off that would have obviously led to the bearings demise?

The 2 I have seen with the center bearing failure had oil lines intact.
What about the MAG side bearing? Could this one also start moving and causing lock up?

i wouldnt hammer on your clutch puller yet.lol.
Correct, I missed that one for sure!
I heard that snowmobiler's grammas' grandson's brother's dad's son's sister in law just blew up an 850. Before it left the dealership. In the crate. I also heard that it had T-Motion on it. It may be an epidemic. It is supposed to be delivered in January.
