Busted Piston

My doo broke down while riding in Island Park, the dealership said I cracked a piston? How can this happen on my 2007 skidoo when I only have 500 miles on it? and they said its going to cost me $1200. What should I do - Please help!:confused:
 
Always get an extended warranty. I got a 4 year on mine, well worth the $300.

If you didn't damage the cylinder it isn't that hard to change a piston. I'd be willing to bet you that most of that 1200 bucks is labor. Check with your buddies, see if they know of a sled mechanic that'll do side work. That is always a cheaper route.

Could have been a casting flaw in the piston, or similar. Maybe it was cold and stuck a little and then broke free. Could be 100 different causes.
