Was just wondering since the regular Sportsman will be eventually phased out. What will happen if you have an engine blow on a Sportsman, will they replace it with the new HO engine. Because eventually there will be no regular Sportsman engines left...will there??? Think about this one fellows....

 

Very seldom will a manufacture replace the ENTIRE engine.You will find that they will replace the worn parts and rebuild your STOCK engine.===Bill

 

Yeha I agree and they will keep parts around for the regular 500 for sometime I would imagine. Id the Mag 500 going to be H.O.?

 

When my EX blew up to the tune of $1700 in parts. It was rebuilt under warrenty. Go figure, I thought it also be easyer to replace it with a new short block.

My guess, there will be parts around for a long time.

 

They just rebuild it with stock parts. They wouldn't replace your crank, cam, and carbuerator with a different part number and get it all tuned right under warrenty.

Plus, Polaris won't discontinue the parts. For one, a few 500's still use the non-ho motor. Second, most manufactures (maybe by law?) keep making parts for bike up to 10 years old.

In a different case, say your tie-rod ends went out, then they might update to the new ones.
