I hate to do this, but I am curius how bad these engine issues are on a percentage basis. This poll is only concerning major engine failure (pistons, cylinder, crank, etc.) and not electrical/injector/sensor issues. I know some failures I have heard start with something such as a piston or cylinder skirt, and then get in the crank, but only concerned with the root problem.

Looks to be a better percentage of sleds without problems than the threads on here would lead you to believe.

But wait........

My 2012 with 600 miles had the oil line fitting literally just fall out of the pump, leaving the entire motor with no oil for probably 10 miles before we saw it leaving an oil trail. Dropped it off at the dealer over a week and a half ago and no idea when it will be fixed.

My 2011 has over 1,700 miles with no major issues, it did need a new TPS last month.

2012 PRO 800 155. 700 miles. only problem, is I had to put some grease in the TPS connector. No other issues.

As I have said in some other posts, the problems are over blown here, and most PRO's on the snow are going strong.

Love the sled!!
