What a joke-
Decided to buy a new Polaris General when I saw the latest offer from Polaris. Can’t beat 0% right?
Called the local dealer in Halifax and verified with the one in Moncton they YES they have the one I want and YES they have 0% - BUT I forfeit the discount rebate of $7,500. I said the current offer is a forfeit of only $3,000. But Dealer said, we have a better discount and you can finance at 9% (higher than any other companies btw) to get the advertised price.
So obviously there is NO 0% offer because who’s going to give up $7500 ?
So insulted by this idiocy!
My 2018 Polaris Ranger 500 radiator got a leak after the winch cable fouled and broke the water channels. Used Stic-Tite and repaired the leaks - worked fine for about 3 years until this past winter after I put antifreeze mix in it due to a freeze warning here in NE Florida. So I'm looking for a replacement. The OEM part # 1240955 is $565 everywhere I look. I see all sorts of aluminum UTV radiators on Amazon and elsewhere, from $79 on up, but of course they are not an exact fit.
What's interesting is that the radiator bolts only onto the fan housing, which is then supported top and bottom by the frame. So I figure I might be able to use a non-Polaris radiator, somehow attach it to the fan housing which then fits perfectly on the frame. Nobody provides the spacing between the bolt holes however. Most of them do show that the water connections are 1" diameter, which matches the OEM part, so the hoses should clamp on properly.
Has anybody tried this, and if so, any tips would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to get the OEM part. Already looked on eBay and elsewhere for a used OEM part, no joy. TIA for any help.
Does anyone know what decal codes from polaris these would be, thought i ordered the right ones and the color is wrong and there is no preview of the decal on the site. Also I wrapped my xp 1000 so them looking up the vin doesnt help.
This is a bit long, but I'm looking for advice/tips. Bought a 2026 Ranger XP 1000 Northstar in February. Noticed it had a small leak at the end of March. I called the dealership and was informed it would be 3 weeks before they could look at it. OK, not ideal but I'll survive.We parked it as we did not want to do any damage. Dropped the unit off on 4/23. Two weeks later I called said dealership and was informed the parts would be here this week, and we should have it back before the weekend. Today I got a call saying that actually the parts are on back order, and not expected until July 15th. The dealership seemed nonchalant and said something along the lines of their hands were tied.
I immediately asked for contact info for a territory rep, but they seemed unlikely to give out their information. They gave me a case number and advised I call the polaris customer service number.
I then called Polaris, and the person I spoke with was aware of the issues, and again said its likely to be awhile. I was told to call the dealership, and have them start the process of a vehicle down order, to try to expedite the parts. Annoyed (this should not be my responsibility to have this started), I called the dealership back and relayed the message from Polaris.
I was told they would see what they could do, but dont get my hopes up.
I have significant amount of experience dealing with manufacturers and warranty situations in the outdoor power channels, and have never heard of a situation with such a long delay. Potentially 4 or 5 months down on a brand new 32k dollar machine is unacceptable. I love the machine and I am not afraid of legal action if necessary.
Any tips out there? Advice on who to get ahold of at Polaris?
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
The plug for my display is damaged, one yellow wire came out the plug completely and I am not sure which number/pin it belongs in. I can’t find a schematic.
I have a 2023 Sportsman 450 H.O. Sometimes when I turn the key it won't turn over at all. The screen turns on but nothing else happens. Often it will start right up initially and I'll drive it for a while, turn it off, then when I go to start it again it will do the same thing. The odd thing is that every time it will eventually start if I just keep trying. I'm tempted to buy a new battery but I would think that if it were a problem with the battery it wouldn't start after multiple tries. Has anyone else experienced this or know what's going on? Battery connections are tight.
Finally got around to installing a oil change access for my Polaris Xpedition 2024 😮💨 future oil changes should be a lot easier and faster now 👏🏼
