2009 polaris assault

[Nick_6]

Hi
Im looking at getting a 09 polaris assault it's got about 1200km has a year or 2 warranty left and there asking $7400. Sound like a good deal? It also has all the 2010 updates. I'm going in to look at it is there anything I should ask about. How easy are they to throw around I'm coming off an m series are they similar?

Seems a little pricey to me.........but what doo I know about Poo's

Last year this weekend, I bought a brand new 2010 Dragon. 0 miles, and full 2 year factory warranty. I paid $7500 +GST
I would say that the price is a little high, imho
I like the IQ chassis, it is very easy to throw around

those sleds have terrible motors. Its not a matter of if it blows up, its when. There is a "fix" for the motor and i'm sure someone on here will chime in with some details.

If the 2010 updates are done, there shouldn't be any problems. Same motor what the Pro's have in them!!!

I thought the 2010's were bad as well.

Yep the 10's are bad as well.They have thicker skirts on the cyl and that's all.Put the fix kit in and have it reflashed to the 08 map and they work alot better.The Pro's only have 2 injectors and different mapping,basic engine is the same but they are different motors.

If you are going from an M series sled to one of those trenching pos's I believe you will be very dissapointed. Have ridden with a few stock Assualts and they will go nowhere an M or Summit will.

 

[Nick_6]

It's only an m5 and how easy are they to throw around

 

[Dazzler]

Ya I think it is a little pricey, ditch bangin and spring snow the Assualt track is great but if you plan on any amount of powder riding you will end up changing it out and you really should do the fix kit ($1000.00 roughly for both) then you are good to go..

Price is a bit high but assaults are a fun sled for sure. The suspension is great and being adjustable makes it even better. As said the competition track is better suited for hard pack and spring time snow but I ripped mine last year with the comp track in early season bottomless pow without any issues. With that being said though I do plan on switching to a better, lighter track as I would like a bit more flotation.

All sled blow up at some
Point in time... These just usually do it a bit earlier then most.

The motors in the iq chassis were the worst. They had 4 injectors and when running in your midrange power band they'd lean themselves out and that was it.. switching back to 2 injectors was a good move by polaris

i have one, i love it, but yes i have had way to many issues for its life span(1500 miles or so) it runs like a tank now,

you will need a fix kit and programmer(PCV),

price is a little steep if the thing is stock,

 

[goldfinger]

Price is to high IMO. Had a 09 dragon and sold 2years ago for 7g with all xtras and was happy to get that. Good luck

 

[Nick_6]

What does the PVC do and how much is it

 

[Dazzler]

PCV (power command 5) is an electronic fuel controller, they are around $500.00

Increasing Your IQ - SnoWest Snowmobile Forum

there is almost everything you need to know in that thread

or just ask chrisco on here he built mine and shared lots of knowledge about the iq / 800 cfi engines,

 

[Ryeser]

Definately take it to Chrisco for the fix kit.
