All I see on fb is a bunch of threads about cans and wraps. Maybe some bench racing if they actually own a sled and don't just ride their uncles.

I find the ones specific to a brand usually decent for tech. As soon as you combine multiple brands it’s a big dick contest my sled has never done that pissing contests. Many have real world experience but cannot get in a word.

If you bought one. Ride the piss out of it. Make your warranty count.

Heard one lost a oil line off the PTO side. I will be looking closely at mine now.

LMAO !! Multiple engines. Lots of people got lucky though, as I did with Polaris. Considering how many 800 and 900 (866) Polaris engines went boom, I consider myself very fortunate that it never happened to me.

I'm guessing a sad poo owner. Any info on where this took place?

I too have been fortunate, still have a 800 Dragon with 4000 miles on the original engine that has NEVER stopped or missed a beat. (Fix kit yes).
I have over done my maintenance etc .......WHY, who knows.
This 850 will get figured out. Hopefully some calibration issues that’s a quick fix. As was previously mentioned, I would be checking every oil line connection.
Does Polaris still require running a small amount of oil in the fuel during break in ? Are guys running pre mix in the tank ? I know they are slobbering oil but premix would be insurance for an air lock in the oil line or ???

No idea on this one, I read on a couple other ones that the oil lines are disconnecting ........
So easy fix if that the big issue.

Rode mine today,... like it way better than the XM. For me it's easier to get over,.. less track wash out. Will have more seat time later this week hopefully in deeper snow which doesn't exist around here.
Rode mine for a couple more days. This sled is awesome. Just gets better and better as I get close to break-in being finished. The new front end is sick. I actually had to widen to the center position as I found it to tippy but that’s just me coming off the Pro. The power is unbelievable. So far so good.

I also got lucky. I had a 2009 dragon 800 136" with 3500 on it. No fix kit. Buddy had the 800 rmk.....3rd engine.
I took it to the mountains twice.
Sold it and had an Axys in my garage shortly thereafter. No sense effin around.
