Spanky Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 We would have considered the Westway, but our gang is couples and much prefer a restaurant bar and grill on site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thought I would post a update to our problems from our New Year's ride, Turns out my sled had a jackshaft bearing go which I didn't realize at the time and continued to drive it, Once the machine actually got the point of not driving it and Denis had helped us get it to Hearst then Cochrane I had it dropped off at Rickward's Polaris and after them diagnosing what was the issue turns out there was a lot of damage done to the sled to the point the tunnel and heat exchanger had melted. Between Polaris and Rickward's and myself it has been resolved that the Pro X is being in essence traded in and they are assisting me in the Purchase of a new 2017 Polaris Assault which I will be picking up Friday am. Very disappointing that a one year old sled had such a massive failure but thankfully they have stepped up and looked after it. I will post pics after the weekend as my brother and I are heading off to Mattawa for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 WOW, never thought a jackshaft bearing issue could cause that much damage. Congrats on the new sled, good to see that Polaris stepped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I can understand the reasoning behind the trade in. It would cost more to repair your sled than to buy a new one on sale. I have heard Rickward's is a good place to deal as are some other Poo dealers that come to mind. Good for you that Poo stepped up to the plate as well. Just goes to show that a key $50.00 bearing in the right circumstances can cause in excess of $10,000.00 damage. Could happen to any manufacturer. Are any bearing manufacturers listening or do they care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Had the same problem on 1 of my IQ turbos, but luckily caught it way before that kinda damage occurred.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I was just thinking about this Nunz. Any thought as to what your plans will be for next season ? Keep what you have or move on ? Gotta wonder if it would have been less had we done the switch right in the Opaz Gas parking lot ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought a new 2017 Assault, will keep it for this year and next till warranty runs out. I've thought about that a few times but it's one of those what if situations and I am treating it as a lesson learned. Thanks again for your help and advice.

Congrats on the new sled, good to see that Polaris stepped up. and the dealer.... My Ford dealer has a sign up... all Fords are created equal.... it's the dealership that makes the difference. Kind of why when I find someone I can trust to take care of me and my needs I stick with them even if I sometimes pay just a little bit more. Peace of mind knowing they are there when needed. If I ever go to the Poo dark side I will keep Rick Wards in mind and let Poo riders know about Nunz's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
