Don't fret, friends. Every manufacturer works in an allowance for warranty costs in the price of their vehicle - whether it be BRP, A/C, Polaris, Yamaha, Ford, General motors, etc...you get the idea. If they didn't, Polaris would have been pushing daisies years ago with the crank issues on the Liberty 800's. Manufacturing costs are high, which is why you see a lot of vehicles being built in Mexico - sleds and cars / trucks. Bet Honda doesn't build bikes and ATV's in the U.S., either, although they do have a plant that builds cars if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately, tighter emissions standards are causing all vehicles to get expensive and more complex, and then people expect longer warranties where everything is covered on their purchase, even after they've modded it. Some dealers will push it through, some won't - end result is we all pay more every year - what used to be an expensive sport is getting out of reach for a lot of people. I for one would be willing to purchase a sled with a 90 day warranty - ie: motocross bike for the reduced price paid - then I would add the mods I want to with the cash difference.
