Ok , will give you this one Tbone . 2 recalls this close together is a sign of a problem ... And would not fault you for asking for them to buy it back ... I will say this is the bad side of polaris , in a hurry to inovate and be the first on the market stuff gets out , and the critics are always the ones that get them ... As I would be the one to get a bum can am if I purchased one... its just fate /irony / or carma which ever one you lay faith in .. Seems in NC there is a lemon Law , not sure of the particuals of it ... but might be worth looking into ...

I think it's Karma....all Tbone does is bash polaris....and then goes out and buys one...paybacks are hell.....however....I do feel bad for Tbone...cause he is a smith....I will for Tbone's XP......

Heck, all you guys offering to drive it for him, but he can't even get it out of the shop. Ohhh, you all must want to drive the Can Am!!!!!!

This is not karma. Pooplaris cut corners and they got caught. I'm just making it public. Not many do.

I would actually be happy that Polaris has recalled them once they realized there was a problem. Sometimes these big companies don't recall and we get stuck fixing their mistake. I got lucky, my new XP missed both recalls.

Thunter...see T-bone...there is always a better way to look at things.

I had the first series of RZR Sprint 2008, I agree with everthing each has said.

1. At least Polaris is stepping up to the plate now that they have made billions and rule the UTV N. American sales volume, but how far and how many times will they step up to the plate?

My 2007 was more fun than a barrell of monkeys when it was running but when I had to towed from the woods in the middle o nowhere, wasnt fun any more.

I am so dumb that I am now considering XP 900 as I was told all defects from 2011 r fixed and no defects on 2012.

Is xp900 recall for 2011 or 2012 and what are they ? thanks, bill

Meant to say SPring 2008 RZR Series, sorry

How do you figure they cut corners...

So how do you find out if yours in affected by the recall? Mine was manufactured in that period of time but if there is an oil line blockage, I imagine the engine failure would be nearly immediate?

Last time I called my dealer and he said I had no bulletins on mine. I haven't contacted him this time.

Come to find out matt it would not of made it to the trailer. It totally starves the motor on oil. Travis can confirm if your affected or not. You probably are not. We rode these machines pretty hard the other day.

Dunno, but you can't have the Rhino back!
Seriously, I'd imagine if you were in the recall, they would have contacted you....but that's in a perfect world. I'd call up the dealer pronto and make them give you a straight answer, as they obviously know the affected serial numbers, etc.
Hope yours dodged this bullet as well.

I just emailed him to verify. Hope not. I agree Tbone, we rode pretty hard at times the other week so I doubt we were affected either.

Did you get yours out of long term storage yet? Looked like you on one of Bobby's video's from either last weekend of the weekend before....can't remember since I was more focused on drinking rum with my toes in the sand last week.

Yea I got it out of pooplaris recall Friday and we rode Saturday. I think it has anoter oil leak though. Typical

sounds like you need to get rid of that one tbone

Sounds to me like that XP is doing anything it can to keep your arse out of the seat............kinda like the XP knows how you truly feel, and how you always refer to it as a "Pooplaris".....it's alive....and it's out to get you.....

I dunno about that. This machine has been owned for right at 50 days. 40 of it has been in the shop. Its sitting in the shop right now.

Its just typical.

$6000.00 right now and won't back out of the deal either...Now is the time to get rid of it and go back to the Canned-ham....speak now or for ever hold your piece............................................

Ill give 6000.01. And will negotiate

U may be holding your piece but i sure the hell aint!!!!

Nah I like the colors and do like the pooplaris stuff. Just wish they were better than this. Right now I could do a buy back with pooplaris but I am going to let it be.

You just need to spend the night with the old girl, go sleep with her in the garage and she'll be your friend for life. Right now she has trust issues.....I'm telling you, she knows about every instance when you call her a "Pooplaris"............think about her like a dog, she will be your best friend if you treat her right, but if you constantly kick her while she's down, she will bite the hand that feeds her......

Just give the old girl some love....and quit looking at those naked RZR's on the internet

I've always felt it was the other way around. Talk bad about them and they do everything in the world to please you.

The minute you start to talk good about them, they let you down every time.

Haha ok.

It's goin to be tough to do. My can am made a comment that upsetted the rzr last night.
The can am told the rzr, "damn, you leak oil worse than a woman!"

Oh, and Travis said I was good on all recall's.....whew! Dodged another bullet.

There you go again....she's just gonna keep bitin' you in the arse until you treat her right.....

Glad I bought my 2012 last year in August. Im clear of both the recalls.

The only thing I would call a "problem" with my rzr, has been the control arm bushings. The S wears on them hard almost monthly durring my peak riding season. Bad design. Other than that, I've had great luck with it. But, just in case, the insurance is setting in the back of the garage....the 450. When all else fails, the 450 fires right up and never backs down. Plus, it plows snow like there's no tomarrow.

Always keep a back up Yamaha in the garage of you ride a popo. I've got one along with a Honda too.
