So how many miles you got on your 900?

An update on mine

I bought it with 2,074 miles from my dealer after a complete rebuild including 06 crank, pistons, stator, and 1 jug.

Now up to just a few under 3,600 miles with only a couple minor problems along the way. Just had the driveshaft and chaincase bearings done last week as preventative maintenance and i have the jackshaft bearing sitting on the shelf to do this summer if not sooner. New motor mounts are on their way as I am still getting a lot more belt heat than last year, Otherwise she's running good (knock on wood) lol

Bought my stock 05' with about 1500 miles on it and it has about 2,400 trail miles on it now with a dynoport can, custom intake (Thanks guido), Couple of vents and some other necessities under the hood. No rebuilds and nothing has gone wrong. It has only over heated a few times but all it needed was a 5-10 minute rest on the side of the trail. Anyways, it only over heated in very poor conditions.

Just bought a second one that has 2500 miles on it and is still going stong too.

 

[Huntsman]

1500 miles and then it dropped the mag skirt.
120 miles on new motor, runs like a champ.

About 3200 at the time of rebuild for my 975. No big problems, never had to be towed out.

 

[river]

got over 9,000 on mine now, with three new top ends

 

[TrailRebel]

>700. Still brand new, though!

 

[bustamove]

5000km. probably had more before the dealer put the 06 pistons in backwards...

Backwards? did that even run?

 

[bustamove]

lol i can tell you not very well.... poor guy i bought it off of felt bad $700. i think if they were installed correctly he would have gotten many many more miles.

Runs great

05 Fusion has 4200 miles on it and running great....I bought it from a sled mechanic who replaced intake boots, no big motor work to speak of.
I am getting some tell tale signs of wear and tear.... most likely motor mounts affecting belt deflection.... I have a loud slap on clutch engagement when I hit the throttle and notice belt is getting hotter than usual.
I will be doing many updates/ mods this summer to see how much weight I can drop from this beast and keep it in good running condition.

Pushing the 5700 mile marker.
SLP perf kit done at 2600 miles for more ponies....so 3100 on that and hasn't skipped a beat...but she may be bleeding just a bit...

 

[sleddude]

3300 miles and was rebuilt at 1800 miles for peace of mind.

 

[miller tools]

miles

Put another 100 on this weekend in the big horns so that makes 2600 trouble free miles.

 

[rydrhard]

4600 and crank just died. Need info to decide if I go with Polaris upgrade crank kit or what other options????

 

[900Spartan]

Crank-Look no further

Look no further...best of the best. All the forum users will speak for the quality and service of this guy.

Unreliable? Sounds like a good reason to SnowCheck.

So I was on a site called SnowCheckDirect (Google it) and looking at the Polaris 900. Reading this thread made me think I shouldn't get one, but then I heard that when you Snow Check you get a 4 year warranty on your sled? Anyone have experience with this? I think I'm gonna do it, but I am here for everyone's advice.

The site is really cool if you haven't seen it already.

900

I bought mine with 3500 miles from a fellow snowester who said he just replaced the crank bearings for maintenance and said it had never been rebuilt. I rode it 50 miles before it spun a ring and ruined a piston/cylinder. I replaced both pistons one jug and renicked the other jug. That was 1500+ miles ago.
