So, do you care to retract the following statement? "Do you think filter elements just came out or suddenly stopped working. These same paper filament style filters are sold on almost every vehicle made". (You should do a little research before posting false statements)
Wow...Let me know when your top end needs to be rebuilt. Please tell Polaris that "These filter issues are overblown". I'm sure they would disagree since they are rebuilding my motor for free due to the "overblown dust issue". I'm glad you have not seen any problems. Since "you" have not seen dust....maybe everyone who has dust problems needs to read your post and realize we can now leave our homes and finally ride worry free . Get over yourself! For the other RZR owners who ride their machines in dusty conditions; It is wise to invest in a Dragon Fire Racing or UMP aftermarket air box. If the "overblown" intake issues were in fact "overblown", Polaris would not be adding 18 months to my warranty, rebuilding my motor for free and releasing updates to fix all the RZR's intake problems.
West coast people most likely won't see the same dust issues as we see in the central or east coast. IMO, a few hundred dollars for a proven fix is money well spent.
GEARHEAD, If you are going to upgrade to the UMP, I would do it before you take in on the trails. Why chance having the stock filter letting dust in your motor? I had dust in mine after the first ride. Not worth the risk IMO.

I'm sorry about your woes wiyh the dust in your motor I will stand by my statement. As for being in the dust these same type of filters are on other atvs without issue(what about the sportsman 800) why in the rzr???Have you ever been riding in the desert there is nothing but dust and sand. How can you say we dont have the same as you. The aftermarket filters that most of the guys use were designed here on the west coast because of desert racing. I think alot parts may have been defective from polaris, if this is the case than you have a lagitamate claim for repair. I my have lost credability in your eye's, oh well, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Most of the people who contributed to this topic have never even had an actual problem with dust, several have said that the rubber boot came loose and to change clamps. others have said there was a hole in boot, I think polaris installed bad parts on some rzrs. You suggest parking the rzr until you upgrade fine don't attack me for telling the guy to try and enjoy his investment. If it blows he can always get in on the class action lawsuit, right!!
