Remember the 600 triple?
I had Polaris sleds all my life. Purchased a 93 XLT special (Used) and burned down that engine twice. Figured it was a lemon, fixed it after each burndown and then sold it.
Then comes 1996 with the XCR 600. Bought it brand new. Blew that motor three times, and since it was under warranty Polaris rebuilt it three times.
Back then they had issues on some motors with slag in the journals on the PTO side. They even told me about this known issue.
Then 4 days out of warranty, the motor burns down again (By the way, this was a 100% stock motor).
I talk to my dealer, he goes to Polaris and they say "Ummm sorry this sled is out of warranty, too bad" (4 days out of warranty on a known, well documented issue)
I keep calling, getting more and more disgusted with the reseponse I was getting (And a few customer service people hanging up on me)........
Instead of fixing the root cause, the out waited me to the end of the warranty, and cast me off..........
I told them they just lost a loyal Polaris customer,, and there would be no way I would ever come back.
That was 16 years ago and I have never owned another Polaris and never will.
If it would have been Cat, Doo, Yammie, I would have dones the same thing.......
Not only did they lose my business, but all my buddies, upon hearing of this, all ride "Non Polaris" sleds to this day......
It is far more costly to not take care of customers with warranty.
We are talking about $11+K investments, were not buying $.02 water balloons and expecting decent warranty performance...........
