No corrosion on either top or bottom bearings, it was a defective rod. Sled had less miles then I thought I was at 82 miles. I was the lucky one ?. Sled was 20 days out of warranty. I have a great dealer and very thankful that polaris took care of it.
Glad they warrantied for you and the dealer stood behind you.Obviously at that amount of miles it was a manufacturer defect.
Lesson learned I hope for many.Get the 3 year extended warranty for $500 more.Will you need it....Maybe,,, but if you were offered the option and declined it and it blew hole thru the case you'll be out $5000+ for a new crate motor plus install.
Speaking from experience,I bought an 11 Pro RMK snowcheck with the option of money off or 4 year warranty.Chose the warranty,a wise choice,2505 miles at 3 years it blew up,piston,cylinder,hole in case.Total loss,$50 dollar deductible plus shop fees(oil, antifreeze,shop supplies).
My dealer will sell a sled with 1 year warranty but recommends the 3 year.I'll always spend the extra for piece of mind.'
