WOW!! Unbelievable!! I haven't even commented on this yet, thinking it must be a fluke. At this point, I'm shocked Polaris hasn't stepped up and recalled these. Someone is going to get hurt! I'll be keeping the ol m for at least one more year it looks like.

Ya, I got stranded up Hasler cause the shaft went kaboom on my 08 XP.

I went to the Poo side last spring and bought a 12 Pro. Have you been out yet?

How many miles? Seems like they blow in the first 30. Are we safe after that?

and then the 800.

broke driveshafts might make a cool potato canon.unless the other end falls off.

What do you mean by another ? 2nd time around on the same machine or another machine.. How many miles on the sled, did it happen on the trail or while boondockin ? Sorry for all the questions. I took my 2013 pro out this weekend and put 100 km on it .. mild for first 80 and then to bar for the rest ... no issues yet and what an awsome sled.. shure hope Polaris gets your/this issue fixed so we can get back to enjoying this sled....

no, I think we're gonna do hasler on the 14th. buddy has a new pro lite 900 coming up from mountain magic in idaho, should be here on the 10th. another friend has a cabin at the flats, we're gonna stay with him.

you don't still happen to have a 146 skid laying around by chance? lol....

Goddamm.....how many is this now?

Ive hear that if youre drive shaft is gonna fail its going to fail in about 10 miles or less... just what ive heard

shafts

polaris is aware of a problem, i am sure it will take time to figure out what ones to recall. Kinda guessing some have good shafts.
We just got back from cooke city with 5 pros 4 have 80 miles with no issues and one did break the driveshaft in 35miles

hey now.......I have one of those 900's, and the damn thing is awesome (now)

hoping to not have to spend the money i did on the 9 on the new pro, pretty sure the wife will disown me

I hope you failed at being sarcastic, because this couldn't be further from the truth.
