Just my front bumper on my Fusion - broke it moving it around on the trailer! Later I learned it's a bad design and I should use it like that.

Also a belt, but it had about 3000 miles on it.

Hit a rock bent my crank shaft maybe not sure into dealer now. All I know is I hit a rock and about 5 minutes later gernaded a belt which sheared my tower brace bolt off. I know through belts every 50 miles and the primary is wobbling like crazy. Otherwise just normal cracked sidepanels and a bent ski

How about a water pump, complete crankshaft and bearings, and pistons on my 12 Adventure on the first trip of the season. 1300 miles later, another set of pistons in it and now I have two 15 Vipers coming!

I am in for a front bumper this year, bent bars, broken kill switch, and i tore my mountain strap off.

Well I had a good year considering it was a new sled that spent 800 miles of its first 1100 miles in the bush. The only things I broke was one primary spring and I lost a scratcher this past Saturday. I feel lucky and Polaris did seem to deliver a good one to me. Now that my season is over, I will be cleaning it up and giving it a compression test. If all is good I will be adding hand guards over the summer for next year.

An epic year. Nothing broke, no problems except for a belt that received a flat spot loading onto the trailer...put the new spare on, now my spare is REALLY only a spare. 5,075 miles on my 2014 4s Polaris IQ FST for the winter of 2013-14. BUT...I have already updated for next winter--traded for a new 2014 4s IQ FST since Polaris has no new 4-strokes for 2015. Sad day when you have to trade a 14 for a 14! Might be looking at the non-bumble bee Ski Doo 900 ACE in the future. I'll be watching for any feedback and reading the reports before deciding on changing brands after 31 years of loyalty to Polaris, the last 13 years on Polaris 4-strokes. We'll see.

Close to 10,000 miles on 3 Sleds Blew 2 Belts broke 1 Secondary Spring and replaced 2 Relays. Can't believe I made it off the High Lines last weekend without destroying a Sled. Getting way to old for that.

I broke the speedo key and then checked the drive shaft bearing and it was still good...... First time for that! And lost several paddles off my 10 year old 2" track that has about 12k miles on it, time for a new track. I had a pretty good year after a slow start, we got our last ride in on Sunday 4/7/14 not bad for the upper lower.
