So far 700 miles on the "little 600". Over all very happy with the sled. Love the handling in the hills and trees.
Still has the original driveshaft (with clamp), QD and clutch belts, spark plugs, not one hiccup yet.
I check it over after each ride, and have yet to find a loose bolt.
All I've done is adjust the oiler, install a tether, skid plate and some storage bags.
Best sled I've ever owned in 30 years.

900 km. two lower control arms that the glue pulled. No impact. No warranty. Polaris finally went good on the first one. Now been over a week and no reply on the second. Has miss/stumble at about 5000 rpm. Drives me nuts. That seams to be trail speed when in a group. So far no fix. Had injector code thrown once. Dealer put dielectric grease on connections. Polaris see what happens. I don't have to worry about parking it somewhere safe. It spends most of the week at the dealer locked I. The shop. Dealer has been good, polaris not so much. Bad the driveshaft fix and QD bolts update. Original belts. I love the feel of the sled. Not happy with reliability. I have a tough decision to make.
Those A-arms are warranty for sure, your dealer is telling you a line of bs.

Polaris is trying to say it was impact damage. I have not hit anything though. As far as the dealer. Two reps from polaris were here and I talked to them. Polaris does feel its impact. I hope I can settle this peacefully.

Impact from a big jump or casing a big jump probably. Shock bottoms out creates a lot of pressure on the bottom a-arm.

The only 2 2013 Polaris PRO'S in our group of riders are going through those new drive belts WAAAAY to often. Each of those 2 guys has done 3-4 belts each and had to sit for an entire day waiting to be towed out while their friends shred POW. Nice work polaris!

Update for mine. At 620 miles i stripped my first quickdrive belt, hit a hole at the base of a hill and the sled bounced and i didnt let off, once the track caught it chewed about 15-20 lugs off the belt. Lol no biggie cause i had a spare one in my back pack (thank jebus). I did notice the top bolt was loose on the top pully (didnt know about the update till i went to the dealer and said how i blew the belt and showed it to them) got the update bolts and a belt for free. Also when i hit that hole i blew somethin out in the skid, not sure what yet, havnt had the time to tear into it (pretty sure its the rear shock but its not leaking any oil). Then the second day i toasted a clutch belt (glazed the chit out of it and stretched it big time) i could hardly touch the secondary when i was swappin the belt cause it was so hot (ordered in some fire and ice vents to ditch the hot air), and smoked the spare belt when i was taking off in some deep snow after getting tangled up in a tree haha whoops! Once again the clutches were boiling hot. Other then that this sled is a gem and got rid of the bog once i got it tuned in and rips in the trees!
To the comment about takeing out 50-60 thou behind the secondary, would you mind elaberateing a bit more to that, not to familiar with these team secondarys.

Naaah those arent a case to deny warranty, a arms never break or come apart from jumps or casing unless i guess ur levi lavalee. Its a rock/stump/tree deal to do that kinda damage. Mine came apart at about 800k, had no replacements and had to ride so i put another honest 200k on moving a arms,,,,sketchy. Crooks at polaris tried the same deny warranty on impact grounds,,, dealer and me cracked up on that, they ended up gettin covered

tmo's panties got in a bunch when he was stirring his Doo-laid too vigorously a few months back. Been a whiny hard ass on Poo ever since. True story.
2000kms on mine- one issue with a bad jack shaft bearing and
4280kms on my husbands 2012- had to service the shocks and VES valves.
Big Whoop...

Doo Laid.....? I dont even own a doo and never have owned a doo, If you can remeber correctly, not sure if u can at ur old age, I actually had a Pro demo for this entire season free of charge and was really looking forward to it as I was strongly thinking of buying one, until I rode the hunk of junk. Kindly gave it back and never wanted to take it again. Every time I have rode with a polaris this year it has resulted in a break down......, well except one day when we just rode out to one our warm up shacks around here, but he blew his motor sky high a month later with just over a 1000 miles on it. Way to many premature problems with these sleds and its getting to the point that I dont even want to venture into the backcountry with anyone on these things as it is causing way to much work for the rest of us when we gotta spend hours just trying to get them to the parking lot again. You call a bad jack shaft bearing a big whoop? It coulda been a huge problem. I seem to remeber you bitching cause you werent gonna have your sled fixed under warranty in time for your "girls ride" and had to pay out of pocket to get it in time......... but keep singing their praises because they are "AWESOME" what a joke. As for doo, all I have ever said is that it is a far superior sled than the pro, but I am not a doo guy, not by a long shot

I do have an agenda against them. When we go riding with new pros we expect them to work good and they are having more problems than some of the older sleds we ride with. The problems they are having would be tolerable if they were four or five years old and had 3-4000 miles on em but cmon, to have 4 or 5 different things happening to multiple people I know with these sleds and hearing about everyone elses issues is getting a bit rediculous. These sleds are constantly ruining good days that I would rather spend riding, not hours towing and breaking other sleds in the process of towing them
