Rubbing significantly after 300 miles. Need to replace the hose, pretty deep gouge. Thanks for noticing this I would have been losing coolant pretty soon.
Hose failure alert! (Coolant-hose/recoil-bolt)

Good catch! Mine is doing the exact same thing, Polaris better do a recall on this or the're going to burn down a bunch of sleds.

We have two non-electric starts, one is not rubbing - the other one is badly worn. So bad that you can see the inside cord from the outside.
I took mine in to have it replaced under warranty. 4-5 week back order on the hose. I have a trip coming in less than two weeks. I had the dealer wrap it and tie it up and going to run it as is until the part shows up. I am guessing if the parts supply has been depleted there will be a recall coming for this.

Just tied mine up, it was rubbing on one bolt lower than the OP's hose was, awesome find! Just notified a couple buddy's about it, same issue. Thanks a lot!

I am buying one of the rubber collars that are on the hose further up to protect it from the bolt there. It should do the job. It is a $5 part.

I presume those who had the hose replaced submitted warranty claims and they were covered.?
Mine isn't rubbing.
Guess mine works as designed....

I wonder if they just cut that black rubber coolent tube a bit to long on some of the sleds causing the whole thing to sag

Mine is rubbing which lends credence to the post above. I ordered another rubber collar like the one in the photo above. I will install it where the hose is rubbing on the Allen Head. It is a $4 part. I like that fix versus zip tying the hose away from the bolt. Zip ties break pretty easily, especially where there is a lot of temperature variance.
Sliding the black rubber coolant tube further onto the aluminum one then re-zip tying could work too. Dunno though, I just zip tied mine to the hose clamp like everyone else

SMF... Are these rubber collars actual products in different sizes for this purpose... can you point me in the right direction for this.?
In my line of work, i'm always looking for abrasion sleeves that are clean and fit well.
Thx

Had a clients sled in the shop and noticed he had a zip Tye holding up this collar- upon further inspection noted that the zip was rubbing a good notch in the hose directly behind this collar that he anchored the zip to. It is a clamp he zipped to.
So just a heads up if others have done this.

That rubber collar slides over the factory power grip (hose clamp).
Zip tie just holds it there.
1" alum tube.

My hose was rubbing too. Last week my dealer replaced it under warrantee, no questions asked.

Warranty on hose
Has anyone had Polaris warranty a replacement coolant hose on the 2016 Axys.. I ordered a new one today $130 bucks..!

My new '16 still has this problem. Must not of ever been a service bulletin, or i assume it to be checked prior to delivery. I wanted to zip tie it, but held off for now. Dont want zip tie to rub thru the hose, they can cut like knifes. Mine would of taken considerabke tension from a zip tie to hold it where id like it to be.
Ill prob order a 2nd collar deal thats on there and install it.
