For the time being, I ride previous-gen sleds and I'm my own warranty and service department. You do have to be "rich" to ride if you insist on only the latest sled and riding every weekend - unless you're fine with spending more on sledding than your house. It sucks too, that to keep your sledding budget at what it was pre-plademic, you'd have to cut a third of your riding. To add fuel to that fire, it seems more and more that "durable" means a majority sleds make it it off warranty before they blow, and most energy is focused on trinkets like big bores and explodamatic clutches. I'll be a lot more likely to stick with Polaris if they shift to making stuff that works out of the box and that'll last for '24. I'm not set on riding patched over sleds - in fact, my next sled may be bought new, but only if I can get five years of primary use out of it with no major failures, and some life left over. Right now, that's iffy from any manufacturer - not because it has to be, but because we accept it.
