Hi I just bought a new 2006 iq 440, I was told the sled doesn't come with any tool kit, owners manual, skags (wear bars) or warranty? is this true or are they trying to pull the wool over my eyes?

Rick

I think they might come with an owners manual. I don't think they come with wear bars. and no tool kit or warranty.

Rick,

Welcome to HCS!!!

I take it you bought the sled from a dealer as a leftover if you were expecting a warranty? I personally bought mine from someone who bought it from a race team. The IQ's are supposed to be only for Racers and you can usually pick them up from them after the season is over. Every now and then, you can pick them up from a dealer who got a hold of a leftover.

My understanding is you won't get any type of warranty with the sled if the Race (High Compression) head is on, which is how they are delivered. If you plan on using that sled for trail use, you have come to the right place for info on making it last. I guess I really need to know more about the circumstances of how you bought it to tell you much more.

As far as the Manual, I actually got one with my '05 but you can go the Polaris website below and sign up for a free account to download one:

You will have to download the '07 IQ Manual as it is the only year they offered it on the site but they are not too many differences between the two model years (just tweaks/upgrades).

You can also go to this site for parts lists for your new steed:

Lastly, I am pretty sure they do not come with carbides out of the crate because Racers all put different one on anyway.

Hope this helps!

i actually got a letter in the mail from polaris saying i can buy warranty for my sled i believe its 355per year but i dont think they no its a race sled i will inform myself on this letter i received

No wool here. You are being told the truth.....almost. If it was new it should have come with a plastic bag that has a few things in it. In the '06 bag comes:

The Owners manual, a simple little pocket sized book that tells you about the sled and servicing information.

The Secondary Clutch Tool, You must have this to change the belt.

Additional bolts and an aluminum support tube that ties the two rails together right in front of the rear axle.

The Steering Post mount...likely installed by the dealer.

The regestration paperwork.

A auxillary pull cord to start the sled if the recoil breaks. Wrap it around the primary and pull away.

No carbides or ski runners come with this sled.

There are some Very Important updates that must be done to this sled before you ride it. Check the Polaris tips page Here.

You MUST DO #1, 4 & 8. The others may be optional but those three are not.

For the #8 tip there are several other options for fixing this problem but something must be done if you are going to ride this sled hard.
