Never blown a belt, had it out the weekend before and ran great. It is in the shop at High river motor sports torn down, waiting for parts. Better be fixed for upcoming weekend cause it is puking in caslte and fernie. Should be an epic weekend.
No details? Just curious if it was a PTO bearing, rod bearing, although the dealer may not want to share that info. Hope he gets it back together in time. Play safe.

It was the pto bearing, and when it went the crank shaft moved and gouged the case. Needs a new bottom end, crank, rods, case, and pistons. The good news is that this is only the 3rd engine in all of north america to go, and they have all been axactly the same failure, the bearing on the end if the pto. They hope that only a minimal number of bearings are faulty. It sucks cause the bearing is only $5.00 but a new engine is, well you know. Polaris should just send a new crate engine and be done with it, it would probably cost them less.

usually if the case if damaged polaris will warranty a whole new short block. The only time they will tell you to rebuild it is if the case is still good.

I was wondering who told him that this is only the third motor to go? Just because i have had two pro rmk 800's come thru the shop here that had toasted cranks, due to oil injection issues.

Not trying to bull sh$&@ but maybe it's the only other two that went.

That could very well be. I'd just love to have them have a good reliable motor again. Then could feel confident getting some in to rent again.

Well I'll put it this way, so far so good, any problems have been minor and lets not get carried away. It is a man made machine, and there will be some that break down, that is what warranty is for. Stop in any shop, any brand, and it's funny, they all have a service department, behind the parts department, behind the sales department.

Couldn't have said it better, even a condom isn't 100% effective.:d
Not sure where the service department is for warrenty on used/new condoms.

You have a very good point, but lets just say Polaris' track record on 8 and 900 twins hasn't been so great the past number of years. I absolutely love the Pro chassis, am almost 100 percent sure I'm going to snowcheck one, but I have a real uneasy feeling about what's under the hood.
I pull the rope on mine and NEVER worry about it. I believe they have it figured out. You can find any model from any manufacture and I am sure you could find someone that blew one up at some point, the internet just makes it seem worse because the guys that are running good don't usually speak up but if it fails you will hear about it. Then you get the I know a guy that dated a girl that had a brother that blew his up 10 times. I have no doubt that they had issues but I never blew up my 08 and so far my 11 is perfect if thats worth anything lol

I just want to say that the thread reads (Has there been Failures on the pro yet) I only posted the failure of my buddys sled cause who ever started this thread asked. I LOVE my new pro and the way it rides. We had an epic day up in corbin on friday and my sled pulls hard. Rode 3-4 feet of fresh and was simply amazed at the way the new pro handles the deep stuff. You are right, every manufacturer can't get it 100% everytime. I do believe that the pro has nailed it and would recommend anyone to get one. I am the last person who is going to bash the new pro, they are truly awesome.
