polaris 800 reliability

[snow cowboy]

This is what i got going on i have a Polaris 2010 assault 800 that I haven't been happy with since day one. Last year in Cooke city it scored a piston it had 2000 mi on it. I took it to my dealership and they rebuilt it. This year in 3 miles it took another motor out. The dealer is treating me right but am throwing the idea around to just trading for a 2013 pro 800. what i wanna know is are they full of motor issues to? am i better off in going to a 600? I don't get to ride a lot so it pisses me off to go on a trip with my sled and end up renting one.Am even throwing the idea around about going to a ski doo. I just wanna have a reliably sled to ride.

Boy I feel your pain. Been there. We have a 2013 Pro RMK 800 and we have had no motor problems and I have not really heard of any that I can think of, but it's still early.

I don't think anybody here has 2000 miles on a 2013 800 yet. They would still be unproven, like the Q-D before the season started. And you can read out that turned out.

Only heard of one 13 blowing up on here http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=332263&highlight=Case

600 are more reliable and with a 155 in track it will out perform your old assult in the mountains.
