They were a bad sled, ate belts, blew up motors, there is a reason why Polaris quit building them after only a couple of seasons. There are alot of other older sleds to choose from that were much better.

I with ya Bigfoot!
Just buy them after someone else has done all the work to them so all the bugs are out. Still running my 05 Nine/166 and going strong, the only thing i could get to break on it was the pull cord, twice now, the harder you ride them the better they are :) But ya selling them sucks because all the bad press they have.

No problems with my 05.
There are some key things that need to be done to them. Would I buy one today... probably not with the choices available.

my buddy has an 05 900 and it is fast. BUT all this bad press makes him worried about getting too far away. hahaha
