Polaris Clutch Broken Bolt

[Wild Bill]

Started up my 2012 Polaris Switchback Pro 800 yesterday...about 2500 miles on sled, all stock. I opened the side panel to add oil and noticed the bolt in the center of the clutch popping out. Shut the sled off and was able to pull the bolt straight out. There were no threads on the bolt so I assume it cracked at the threads. See pics...

Anybody body seen anything like this before? I dropped sled off at Polaris dealer to be worked on this week, but curious as to how this happened. What to make of it??

Thanks in advance guys.

Ironically enough this happened to a friend of mine just yesterday. He had been injecting krocodile all weekend tho.

similiar thing happened to my old indy 500 out of the blue but the inside sheath was stuck on mine

Good news... They were able to pull the clutch off, ordered a new bolt, and it's back up and running.

Many thanks to Ron Hallstrom Polaris in Minocqua/Woodruff. Tim in service department was very helpful.

Cheers wild bill!!

Glad to hear Ron was a help. That guy typically is an ornery peckerhead!!!
