Interesting!! Take a few days off to go riding and get to read all about how someone with concerns about the reliability of an 800 Polaris motor doesn't know ****. Should have stayed away, but read the post anyway.
I would love to believe that I would be lucky enough to purchase a 2011 that ran flawless. But the truth is Polaris still hasn't figured out how to make my 08 d8run and after hearing how great the pcv is I finally wasted 350+ dollars, didn't help, Tryed three different "tried and true maps" from the man over the last 4 days of riding and it ran worse than without the PCV sure didn't see that coming with all the positive responses here. I'll have to see if anyone else has experanced this, seems like the addtional fuel in the mid range hurt my performace like crazy.
I did get to run into another dealer who told me they can fix my sled, as he was trying to convince me that the 2011 is the way for me to go. At least he agreed that some sleds have big issues, and he even rides snowmobile. Oh ya he did hint that it will be hard to get much for my sled with all the issues. Sooooo as good as this 2011 sled looks and as good as Polaris' marketing effort seems, I am still not convinced. Maybe some kind of double your money back guarantee would help.:face-icon-small-hap That could pay for a lot of pain and suffering I have enjoyed over the last 3 year if it didn't perform and if it did run like they say I'm sure my memory will get cloudy very fast, having a good time seems to do that.
So just to respond to all the PCV die-hard's, it isn't a fix all and it isn't just an EPA thing, some of these sleds have some kind of bad bug. I haven’t given up yet so maybe this dealer who knows how to fix my sled will make it worth the 4 hr drive one way to find out. If he does fix it maybe my memory will cloud over before the dead line to snow check a new sled, (I can’t believe I even said that, that marketing is so powerful).
