Does this crack in the case happen often? And is it hard or $$$ to fix?

Crack case

 

I have never heard of anything like that before, or have seen anything like that. By the looks of the engine, looks like someone don't take good care of there quad. I have heard (someone on here) broke there chain, and crack there case, BUT thats what a case saver is for. They are $30.00 bucks.

 

I had my case crack on my 04 predator, but it was because of my chain breaking. Also, for your info, I had a case saver on my machine, it was broken off when the chain broke. It actually caused a lot more damage than just cracking the case though, it screwed up my tranny too. It doesn't sound anything like your situation though.

 

Because of the damage the bank sold this one for $1600

 

Darenello, YES! I posted on here a few months ago about my buddies predator that had cracked the case from clipping a small tree and it was in that same spot. I had also told people that they might want to keep a watch out for that such thing and all the replies were basically "you're a polaris basher", not in those exact words, but that's what I got from the replies.

 

Well there the pic to prove it!

 

should i get a case saver?

 

I would if I was you. It might save you some money later on. I think Rath Racing has them for like $30.00.

 

are they easy to instal? does polaris make one?

 

Yes they are easy to install, I think it's 3 bolts. I don't know if Polaris makes them or not. Rocky has some different ones.
