Well, the funny part is they already sold a sht ton of sleds. When you look at the market share they have, they're killing the other 3 manufacturers. The clamp isn't about future sales its about fixing the problem today and addressing it on the 14s, which with a "fixed" drive shaft should only extend their lead. So yeah they are laughing. All the way to being number one in sales in the mountain segment. Again.

Are you landing on your shaft or your suspention?
As for Huge Loads, hows 1200 HP transfered 90 degrees into gear amplified torque load, through a flexy joint to 2 40" soft rubbers slicks that have been warmed up to stick better.
Bonding works. If your worried about it don't buy a '13 Pro. Hahahahaha.

agree...but i tell ya...don;t give the doo outfit a shot at the opening as they can get out of the draft a get ahead real easy..
But no arguement...Polaris is one great platform..just a few tweaks and she is top notch..!!...kudo's to them

M8 totally agree. The doo sleds are legit. Definitely have a shot at number one, no question in my mind. I ALMOST bought a doo this year but opted for the pro because of the weight and chassis. I could've flipped a coin and gone either way with it and won.

Thank you, but I am actually looking for "the place" to find them myself. Or are these leaked dealer copies?

I dont think you will find a place that provides bulletin directly to customers...dealers only.
I saw a 13 Pro with a broken driveshaft at 13 miles this weekend. Sort of an unlucky coincidence. On the other hand, I worked mine hard in deep snow and I am now over 60 miles without any problem. It is a manufacturing issue, not a design issue in my opinion. Some are working with turbos and big bores putting a lot more load on them than the stockers and they are holding up fine. My friend worked his 13 very hard including some big jumps with hard landings while on the throttle and his driveshaft is fine. Let your dealer put the Polaris clamp on for some peace of mind. However, I don't think that having the clamp on or not is going to matter for those driveshafts that were manufactured correctly to start with. My 13 is SO much better than my 11was. More power, better throttle response, better handling (front end geometry is slightly different, and you have to love that new seat.). Have fun!

Was thinking the same thing.... I had an 08 XP & I was thinking it was after Christmas time before I heard a word from Doo.
Polaris - thanks for doing something so fast. I'm assuming this is a temporary fix till they figure out exactly what's going on with the drive shafts.
Flatlander here that only makes 2 trips a year. I'm a teacher so have to go between xmas and New Years. What do I do? Wait for Polaris or try to get aftermarket clamp? I'm scared to death to take this thing out there the way it is. Dealer told me today that Polaris said they would not give him a definite arrival date for the clamps. Going to Tog for first time and this sh__ has to happen. Any advice?
get a clamp ....^^^...gee whiz enjoy your trip
