I havent seen any of these issues. Little wear on the track, nothing to write home about. 1 bad voltage regulator, thats it. Only on my second belt 1025 miles
that's what I said??? track wear from the inside that is not right and you and me are not the only ones! bad regulators I have hade one also but once again you and me are not the only ones?? you say you haven't seen any of these issues but then list them... am I missing something??? the issues I listed are very common and wide spread. will all have them I would say not. did you and I and many others...yes. would it be nice if Polaris addressed the problems as they came I would say yes. not asking for a new platform or engine every year just saying it would be nice to see them staying on top of the small issues that way the guy that got the 18 might feel he did not waist his cash by not getting the 17... or the 16 holdover if he could find one. to say theirs nothing to fix{improve on}is just nutty!! Polaris offers a pile of options and the best sled on the snow that's why I have one but will I give them a hi five for not fixing any of the week points or not offering any new options for the new sleds in 3 years lol no. but I will give them 2 hi fives for building the nicest sled iv ever road!!!! nothing but happy! happy! happy!

Exciter II? Nothing quite like a 600 121 in the hills as a kid. Scariest part was coming back down if you made it up.
Thought I read the PIDD is free with snowcheck.
Do the 18's have a tether?

I think what you forget is skidoo had to build an 850 to keep up with the axys. And even still the axys out shines it in many and most areas. Not talking smack but I own both.
The Axys did side hill better than an XM, but to say the Axys "smoked" a XM is ludicrous. I feel those sleds were very close to one another.
The days of the good Snowchecks are over. What real incentive is there to Snowcheck anymore? You can still pick a sled up in the fall, no Limited Edition sleds that when you saw one you new that was only available in the spring.
If you don't want financing, you can save 4-5 G's over an overpriced Snowcheck. Any the warranty these companies offer has so much fine print on it that nothing gets covered. You better run it bone stock.

Snowcheck is a thing of the past IMO. I've been burned several times buying too high with it only to see the same sled available later in the winter for $2000 less.
I wish Polaris would offer a standard model RMK 155 like they used to until the Axys came out.

Wow....unreal reading some of the responses.
While I don't share the exact opinions of the OP, my beef with PI is about cheap wiring, cheap electrical components along with safety issues with those floorboard hoops and ski rubbers, I will say the talk at work around the water cooler yesterday from the faithful Polaris Homers (that have all drank the Kool-Aid here) was exactly the same as the OP's. They were all upset.

Still on my pro and like it, but tried buddies Axys with Raptors and BOY was that thing smooth!!
Two weeks ago we rode 8 people; 5 Axys, my pro, a hardcore and a 850. All had a good time but 3 Axys riders tested the 850 and could ride it without much effort. And the power was good, even the guy with a 860 Axys was pleased with it..

I think polaris have great sleds and could normally "take a year off", but the competition..
BTW, yeah, that video is just funny!

Say Polaris makes a sled that appeases 80% if they try to appease the other 20% it's a tug-a-war from another portion of the market. You can't make a sled to make everyone happy.
Basically what I'm saying is, if you don't like it, move on. Or change what you don't like with aftermarket parts. Anyone that's been riding since the 90's can attest to adding aftermarket parts to 99% of all their sleds.
No snow check choices ??? What are you guys looking at ???
There are Three Suspension Choices with 7 track Length choices , and Five Lug height choices
Two Frontend Width choices (38" um no but the Doo body is to wide to take advantage of theirs)
Lots of color combos
And $200 less
PIDD is $100 less
Plus Golden tickets
The models have gotten a little excessive though .. some are 600/550 only and some 800 only but I don't want anybody to not get exactly what they want .. cuz god knows we don't need quality wiring or tether ( tether at least on the RMK Assault)
The whole 850 thing isn't going anywhere till the RMSHA allows bigger Bores than 805.. When they open it up to 860 I'll bet Kitty 900 comes back and Polaris DI 860 .. Polaris Wins Races and they are not about to ruin a good thing , look at the IQR

Im going to swing at the next person that mentions going back to the old big bores and triples. Do you guys seriously think that is the answer?
Do we have one report of the A-Arms breaking while just riding?? Ahhh I think not, they have all hit something. Should they not break if hit something the right way? I just folded a set of Chromoly arms like nothing. All because I hit something the right way... Or the wrong way? What he is saying is once a Stock part breaks it is much cheaper to replace it with a stronger aftermarket piece. Take a second and figure out what someone is saying before attacking.
Same argument with every new Bulkhead, Except the last ride I had out on the new G4 the bulkhead did break cruising up the side of a hill. Pretty sure the track did hit something but there was no marks anywhere so hard to tell what happened.
Also both G4's we had blew a belt that day, I mean nuclear blow! One had 200 miles and the other had 500.
Hell yes!!! give me a newer 900 on top of the one I currently own!!! Is such a fun motor after you put the work into them haha
The big bore talk is better than the guys who seem to think we are gonna see a factory 2 stroke turbo here in the next couple years. Just not realistic.
After riding an 850 I am sold on the fact that a larger NA motor is the answer... if they can be made reliable of course, which maybe is alot to ask for from Poo, but things have come a long way since 05 and 06.
Not that there was anything wrong those years ...
