Skibreeze, How many miles are on the sled now? I know of many D8's with plenty of time on them and zero issues, the only place I hear of mass issues with this sled is on this site. I just can't see more than 10% of these sleds having these major issues and no one is going to come on this site to brag their machine up, only to complain.
Thats funny, I think I counted 6-7 posts in this thread alone from guys bragging of no problems.
If you don't think there are serious problems with lots of the D8's, you have your head in the sand. I used to think it was only the Doo guys who accepted burn downs as part of maintenance, now it looks like the Poo die hards are in the same camp.
I owned nothing but Polaris for almost 15 years, same with lots of my buddies. Some are still buying them. My friends sons '07 600 just lost a crank at 2200 miles too. He is done, his 800 lost a crank last year too. Two weeks ago an updated '09 went down in the woods, no issues before the update. They wasted 4 hrs hauling that POS out.
If you drop the silly brand loyalty stuff, look hard at the forums, Cat isn't having motor problems, and they haven't for years. I love how the RAW chassis rides but the M is just as good and the sled is much more reliable.
I just don't understand how you can be paying attention and defend Polaris on this.
