i will say that unless your dealer tells polaris you have a upgrade they will never know.....during the initial 6mos.......

however ge ext. wty. requires authorization before repairs over $1000 and will send an adjuster out to look at the damage before making that call.......if there was previous claim for the same problem they wil definately send an adjuster.......most of them are pretty easy to deal with and some are a huge pain.....we have had no problems with the pipe issue but we tear down box up parts in tubs and only have to usually show them the damaged stuff and maybe let them see the condition of the machine.......

it is crazy but they will try to deny coverage for something that is plain as day a manufacture defect(which is the key for coverage since any wear is not covered..even if tie rods or ball joints or wheel bearing go out in 20miles and you are in the ext wty time frame...bend over if your dealer will not at least try for goodwill from polaris) and then cover a guys machine that has been in a pond for 2 days and full of water when the oil shows all the evidence(he who makes the biggest fuss gets the most help)

dont give up but i am on the dealer side of it and our hands are tied....we are just a middle man.....and how many dealers would be around if they had to eat everything to keep happy customers...
