Always difficult to switch brands (especially if you have a good dealer), but after 7 sleds of the same chassis, my excitement on getting the same thing again (AC 800) is a little low.
I don't need a new sled every year, but it's my passion and helps the work season go quicker, lol. The Cat's have been super dependable (compared to the Doo's before) and I've figured out the ride etc. But, should I or shouldn't I. Never owned a Polaris. Never envied a Polaris owner, but the 2011 has my excitement going and that's what this sport is all about to me.
I try to get in a 100 rides a season. Sooo,,, Can the Polaris cut it!!
Heard about engine problems. Have they been top ends because of poor engine management or are the cranks breaking because of poor design?
How long can I expect from a belt, primary clutch, secondary (had Teams on my Doo's and were great then), chains and sprockets, etc.. Basically, from those that have had them, good or bad, I would like to hear what to expect in a 4000 to 5000 mile MOUNTIAN RIDING season (you know deep snow, rough access trails, trees in the way, oops I better get the compass out type of riding, LOL).
Should I or shouldn't I?? Tell me your experiences so I can make an educated purchase. Hate walking LOL.
