To many cases now.. the bandaid is a must I'd say until ch!t is figured out by Polaris. Not worth the risks

You got that right. Under the right condition they could all fail. Very poor design. But it's still an isolated issue isn't it? One or two a day in November? Lol. Throw them fancy billet clamps on and be done with it. Ride it like you stole it.

I have 30km on the 2 800s that I have and no issues. I figured take them for test rip here in the fields before spending the money on a trip and having them break there.

Not to throw wrench into everything but I beleive the first xp's had shaft troubles?? That's why they beefed them up !!

it looks staged to me, there's not a problem and you need to deal with it
Classy as always man.
Anyway, this is too bad. Hope it gets worked out so the rest of youz guyz can just ride without a puckered azzhole.

nothing was "beefed up", it was an issue with the friction welding process and subsequent machining. it was an outsourced piece and the vendor screwed it up.
Quite similar actually, I had a '08 xp and it was just like this. Pretty much the same amount of people having issues. I even bought a spare, Buddy used it! By time my sled got in it was spring for the recall, it wasnt recalled right away either. It is an issue but as always they have to get a handle on it just like doo had to. It will take some time. I agree we shouldnt have thse problems with new sleds but that seems to be the way it happens.
Oh, and that was one of MANY problems I had with the '08, just growing pains and learning not to buy first model year on this type of stuff, reason I waited on the 13's for doo and poo and will see next year which one wins!
Good luck!

damn that sucks! if i had a '13 pro id be buying the billet fix clamps that tyson.h made for sure. im starting to think that it is just a poorly designed shaft also.. sure the glue that bonded correctly will be strong but how long is it going to last?? im happy i decided to ride the Assault for another year. hopefully polaris does something about this quick!!

Well at any rate it was an issue. Seems like the old hexagon shaft they used for 47 years and weighed 5 lbs may not have been as bad as they figured? ( I'm talking doo) but I'm sure Polaris could fall under same category.

I believe the big difference is that 'doos shaft was well designed and able to handle the torque on a properly built unit. the new poo design just looks like fail. we only have ourselves to blame, we wanted lightweight and the manufacturers are only trying to please us. it will get sorted out, just sucks it has to happen but they will learn and improve from it.

Maybe we can have another 08 doo vs 13 pro debate. Or we can leave the thread small with answers to questions that matter

I was so close to selling my 2012 and pulling the trigger on a 13, but decided to wait and see if they had any issues with the belt drive. I have to say I'm glad I waited too. I hope they find a fix for you guys soon, cause it's an awesome sled.
