2012 Polaris 800 owners Problems?

06IQRMK · Jan 11, 2012

Anyone out there having problems with their new 2012 800 primary's? I have heard of several instances of people's clutches breaking in half, and jamnuts coming loose... Just wondering if people out there are having the same problems and if so, around how many miles they have/had on them when the problem started???

Thanks!

I think it helps to have the bolt on the primary re-torque to 80 pounds after the first ride.

jamb nut was loose right from the dealer, didnt realize until first ride going up the road

At this point I kind of wish I was having some sort of problem with my 2012.

Right now it's sitting in the garage with 0 miles on it.

At least if I had a "problem" with it that means I would have been riding it!

Unfortunately, mother nature doesn't have a complaint department!

400 miles and only one problem, Can't stop smiling!!!! I check clutches and most of the high use/abuse areas every ride, and have never seen anything out of spec.

6 of my buddies bought Pro's this year and only one has had issues, I think it was tps settings.
