piston seized at bottom of cyl. & slung rod into crankcase breaking cam & seperating case. Just wondering if anyone else had similar problems??? only have 192 hrs been rode but taken care of

 

what made the piston seize, any idear?

 

the dealership said it was a bad piston....manf defect ....been trying to get polaris to stand behind it but no luck so far. the only thing left is the head rest is scrap

 

I hope you're still under warranty. 192 hrs is lot for a bad piston to break. What yr is your atv?

 

05 no waranty

 

its an 05 according to the post heading. being its 3 years old i would be suprised if they waranty it but hope tey do for ya.

 

this has been going on since 7/7/07 they keep putting me off just wish they would tell me one way or the other

 

I hope that your kidding. Polaris stand behind something, "NEVER GONNA HAPPEN". When my Polaris was one day old they refused to help, or return a call, or even give me an explanation. I brought the bike home and noticed the problem with 3 miles on the bike. I love my Polaris, but my personal opinion is that they have the suckiest customer service on the planet. I hope all goes well for you, but I would plan on buying the parts now, because they aren't going to help.

 

I disagree arctic cat has the worst customer service ever. Hope you get it fixed the 800 is a great machine<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: DONECRASHED
