Polaris 800 Stock Pipe Sheilds splitting

Just got my 800 rebuild kit installed. Watch out for fouled plugs afterward. Lots of new oil in there.

Anyway, I digress....

The dealer told me that they've been seeing the aluminum sheild over the pipes splitting at the seams, like the pressing process that puts them together wasn't very good. This is on the same sleds that are getting the rebuild kit. He showed me a couple of other sleds in there with it. Seems to only be the RMK models. He thought perhaps it was just a bad batch of those as they typically build the RMK's first in the year, then the 121's. But there is a bulletin out on them, and you can get a new one if it happens. Just watch for it!

Can't wait to get the new sled out in the snow!
