800 Recall

AKSNOWRIDER said:

Just got done reading the bulletin, all low altitude dragons/rmks/assaults will have to purchase a service silencer from polaris at reduced cost(as of now no cost available)....wont be included with the kit.........at high altitude only polaris stock can or slp replacement can is ok to run..any other can voids warranty...ECU reflash will have an agressive Det sensor..retards timing..adds fuel..if it cant stop the det it goes to limp mode and will only run 6000 rpm until restarted...will flash the service engine soon lite when it senses det.... parts listed are new head, new 2 ring pistons and the reflash...also when the kit is done if customer doesnt have proof that the fuel filter was changed at 1000 miles and again at 3000 miles the dealer must install a new filter(at customers expense) and polaris requires their new polaris gold plus oil to be run to honor the warranty(during first tank of fuel must premix 1 qt of semi synthetic blue oil for break in).... as of now there is no parts released yet..and customer notifications are to be mailed within 2 weeks of today.....

so wonder why we are to buy the parts to make the sled run right? hope poo reads this...you ever buy something thats a peace of $61t.. and when you take it back some sales guy talks you into spending more on something you didnt really want??? this kinda feels like that..or maybe its just a bend over feeling...looks like poo needs to man up and fix the their bad and not costing us anything ...if they ever want us to buy a polaris again..all sled have bad years.. what makes one sled better is to man up and fix it..:beer;

Hopefully the SLP pipe/can combo will not void the warranty at ANY altitude. Someone chime in if you've heard the official word.

So this is for real right? Not just internet rumor real? I bought my sled in Washington and had it shipped to me in MN, that shouldn't be a problem right?

Wow. I have an 08 with the SLP single, and was told by my dealer back in 08 that the single would not void the warranty since no ecu reflash was required (high elevation). I had no idea that I have been running with no warranty.

AKSNOW,
I find the pipe/warranty comment interesting. Polaris sells the pipe as a factory installed option on the "build your sled" program on-line and I know that mine was installed right at 0 miles by the dealer when it was purchased new. I know in the past a simple aftermarket pipe install would void but I figured with this marriage between SLP and Polaris that this would be an exception. Comments?

oddly they are replacing the can on the short tracks since they are built for low altitude...I am sending slp a email right now to see if the slp can and pipe will still work at low elevation...my guess is it will with the resistor reinstalled to richen it back up....

So I'm a short track low elevation rider and Polaris has sold me a sled for $10,000 that has an exhaust can that they have found to negatively effect the performance and reliability of their product. My sled is still under it's original factory waranty and they want me to purchase a new exhaust can from them to make my sled perform properly?! Are you kidding me?!!!

Also, fuel filters only last 1,000mi? What the heck's up with that???? I've got other rec vehicles that I've owned for 5-10yrs and never had to change a fuel filter (not saying that's proper maintenance - just saying WTF)?

This should get interesting for sure...
