2012 800XP. Push the button on the dash and it just rebounds back instead of clicking into gear. Will drive in 1 wheel and 2WD no problem. Guess I'll be back at shop tomorrow....

Yeah I don't know about this. Kinda frustrating. It ran like it came off the showroom floor all last season. It was awesome! Didn't have any issues at all and it was a joy to use.
Started this summer with the overheating issue and actually it still is having issues. Saturday I was down at the club for a work day and had a lot of driving to do. Coasting along with no problem. Temp staying around 195 and fan cuts on around 200 degrees and it will drop back down. But then it will run up to 212 then back down to the 190's then run up into the 220's. It got as high as the 230's and I shut it down and cleaned off the coils from the seeds and stuff that I had driven through. Didn't work. I was 7 miles from camp and didn't want to get stalled way out there so I eased back into camp praying all the way. All the way back it stayed between 196-206.

Dr. B They can be temperamental sometimes. I've had issues with sensors & speedometer cable with my 2009 700xp. It runs well most of time but I had sensor issues twice. Drive belt also. My experience w Polaris overall is run it in low gear if you want to avoid issues. If you run it in high gear like a speed demon you'll replace the drive belt frequently. Running it under 10 mph in low gear 4wd I avoid problems. Polaris does not back their product. Worst warranty of a side by side. Dealers overcharge for parts and don't back service when same issue you fixed happens again in year or less. Then again it beats a bad boy buggy or some of the other manufacturers. For what you pay they should back these things up for 2-3 years unless breakdown is result of abuse in the woods.

I'm confused. Wasn't everybody recommending Polaris over Honda in the recent post about which UTV to buy? Says a lot for the Hondas don't it.

Picked my FIL ranger crew up Saturday from the dealership for the same issues. His was connector unplugged.
