Who replaced your engine? Did Polaris and if so, how did you go about getting it done?[/quote]

Sandblaster thanks for the reply again. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I did not get the extended warranty when I purchased the product. I have always had Honda's and you just ride them. Sure I did my maintenance always before it was due and kept a fresh clean filter pre-oiled and ready for use when needed. The only time I would take the Honda in was when there was some type of recall. This is my first Polaris and my past history of my maintenance and the product itself did not dictate the need for an extended warranty. I really hope this all turns out well in the end.
Don't take this the wrong way but I like the product and if I would have known of the issue to begin with I would have waited until the mfg fixed it correctly or I would have started diffently. Unfortunately the damage is already done and I have to go on from here.
If I trade it in I will expect to take it in the shorts where it is 6 months old with 500 miles on it. If I sell it outright I would feel obligated to tell the new owner of the potential problems.
I've seen enough modifications online to work with the dust issue but spending a ton of money on something that already may have engine problems doesn't work well for me. I will keep you posted on how this turns out.

I called my dealer yesterday and they said the fix happened months ago and I already had it.

I explained the situation and he asked around the shop and no one knew a thing.

My questions is why would Polaris go on this site, make claims about a letter, a fix, etc and not clue in their dealers to what they are doing.

Also, you would think that the people that sell and service these machines would lurk on these websites once in a while just to see what people are talking about.

Still waiting for word back from dealer. He said he would investigate which I assume means call Polaris.

Getting frustrated on this end.

I just bought the BTI air box for both of my RZRs, an 08, and a 09 RZR S at $1,100 dollars. I told my dealer I wanted the new bellows boot for them. He called Polaris and they told him I could buy them along with the new filter if I wanted to, but they were not providing them for free. I went ahead and bought the boots at $25, as I did not want to wait any longer for them. I am more than a little disappointed in Polaris, and I think they are blowing smoke to the PRC admin people. I have bought 3 RZRs in the last 18 months and expected a little more from Polaris. BTW, my dealer made this call in my presence on speaker phone. So, no B.S. On the part of the dealer.
Keep in mind, my 09 RZR S is less than a month old and did not come with the new improvements.

X2 I have thoroughly inspected my new '09 RZR S and have none of the supposed new fixes. The only thing I have is the third clip on the air box and the closed cell foam in the cab air box. I am not going to change anything on it because I do not want Polaris denying my warranty for after market products. I did buy the extended warranty and I am hoping everything will be ok. I did go for a pretty dusty ride last week and everything seems to be ok and I will keep my fingers crossed that it stays that way. I am very disappointed after all of the talk from Polaris and the pics on the forum and UTVguide.net of all of the imprvements to find out that none of them were on there. I was under the impression from written statements that the S was supposed to have a larger filter and all of the rest of the things that Polaris published. Oh well I guess we will see.

The Polaris Dealers received notice today about the letter that was being sent out by Polaris offering Razor customers the Free Air Filter. The copy that I have is very hard to read but I see where no other parts are offered for the Air Intake/Filter problem.

[FRBear]

Here is a link to the letter to Polaris dealers. It tells about the extended warranty. On the 2nd page is the URL to sign up for your free filter upgrade. You do not need to wait for your letter. I signed up for mine last night.

Sorry. I just tried the dealer link and it said it was not available at this time. I would keep trying since it worked last night. Maybe too many people signing up.

This is the sign up site:

I have posted complain's about rzr air box before. Bought in sept 07 riddin about 96 hrs. Now a NEW problems is accurring machine idle's at about 800 . First notice's about two weeks ago while at winrock. I figure it's the t-bap sensor. Has anyone else had this problem? Would air box dust be the problem? My budddies started doing the same thing yesterday while riding winrock. I love this machine but i just want to be able to ride without having problem. COME ON POLARIS FIX THIS DAMN AIR BOX PROBLEM..........

My Rzr purchased new Oct 07 was in to the local dealer twice during the warranty for rough running, twice they cleaned out the throttle body (documented by mechanics). Compression was never checked and I was not smart enough to ask for this to be done.

Shortly after warranty expired I asked for compression check as I was burning 10 oz of oil every 100 miles. Dealer said it was at "125" and needed rings. It has been 2 months since I asked them to contact Polaris on my behalf for at least some help in footing part (or all of the bill). Dealer claims "they are working on it".

I am disappointed by the lack of backup. I love the design concept of my Razor, but I will never buy another Polaris product. I suppose I will find a local independent mechanic, have rings replaced, pay the bill and move on. No more Polaris for me.
