Only effected some 19s. It was due to case sealer plugging up oiling and an assembly issue. For 20 they addressed that and also put a alignment ring on pto bearing. No issues with 20 and newer. And only some 19s. The 19s that went down usually went down within that first season.

So if a sled has 1000KM plus on it. It is safe to say it wasn’t a affected one?

Read the Indy Axys forum section lots of good info.....

 

I would caution everyone not to over react to what appears to be wide spread reports of reliability issues. There are thousands more owners of Polaris 850's like myself and many others who have zero issues. They aren't necessarily reporting that. So, select your sled from a previous owner who is among those.

 

I have not heard of any issues here in the Northeast regarding engine failures.....a handful of 19' models did have a bearing issue like Lid2 referred to, but other than that, the 20' and 21' models have been great. You will always have that one here and there with an issue, but that is with any brand, any size. My newphew has a 19' with a Silber turbo that has been on it since day one and the only issue was with the turbo spitting the blade into the engine. And don't believe everything you see from aftermarket shops.....one is advertising a billet PTO end and upgraded bearing for so called issues. I have not heard of any crank issues anywhere in the Northeast where I live.

 

you can rely on it to pull your arms off

 

The 2019 850's should be under warranty for 1 more season, correct? If so I wouldn't worry about it blowing up, it might even be a good thing (new engine under warranty).
