Big 10,
You totally missed what I was saying I think there are a lot more failures than they have let on to. SW is a small pie. I like my Axys however that has come with A LOT of maintenance and repairs of small stuff that should not wear. The other thing is ALOT of Dealers and their Techs are clueless about how to diagnose problems on these power plants. Don't flame me and my Dealer is the best and all his Techs are Engineered and trained. I said A LOT, not ALL. The other thing that is not ever talked about is setup. On a new sled did you every sign a setup sheet during purchase did they explain to you how they are shipped and what they have to do to set it up? Probably not. Have you checked any of the parts they install, Skis and bars etc? The manufacturers have a setup manually for every sled with torque specs for every part that needs installed and specs for everything else that should be checked before it goes to your home. I'm not saying that it solves all problems. However, if a dealer can't set up a sled correctly how to do you think they will fix a crank. I have witnessed dealers setting up Axys sleds on the Sales floor with a bat. powered impacts just cranking the bolts on the skis and other parts. That makes me feel good!! High school age kids doing it that normally work in parts. Look all this stuff adds up to problems with sleds. If the manufacturer can't make a product that won't make 100 miles and have to give you a 4-year warranty to save it? I'm not a die-hard Polaris fan my Axys is the first Polaris I have owned since My 87' Indy 400 rode Cats and Yamaha's. I do like my Axys. However, you are not going to hear me CRY about anything. Polaris just needs to own up to all there little things and FIX it that is the bottom line.
