Showing signs of heat distortion but temp where I'm located is still somewhat cold. Suspect it will melt when it warms up and driving at slower speeds. So I will be doing something before then. But I would like to see popo look after it before I have to seeing that many have already had it melt.
put on the utv inc fix before i had a problem. money weeeeelllll spent, cheap,for the few bucks it cost it didnt seem logical to wait for the problem to arise , now i ride wot or as slow as i want. TONY
I wish I hadn't voted because then I would be able to see who voted for Don't think it's a problem. It would be interesting to see in the next "I put my PS seat fire out with a can of beer" thread if it was one of them. The key word in that selection is think. The key question is why take the chance?

Edit..disregard about the new panel...hmm..the parts fiche doesn't show a new number anymore, now it shows that a different panel(r/h seat divider, the one that the center panel attached to on the right side near where it melts) was changed effective 4/1/11..weird
part of my prediction was a step- in on passenger side only. If any seat can't go all the way back at least only inconvenience the passenger. was guessing one full inch at least stepped in. that was part of my guess as resolution.
Mine didn't show signs of heat after wot runs it was after a slow technical ride where the fan cut in a few times. I'll be doing something before mine actually melts like others have.
OH, the way I drive. Although since I like turning, sliding and not crashing in the dunes, I suppose I feather it more than a guy driving 8 miles down a desert road.
i think your ridding habits makes all the difference in if they are melting.if u do a lot of slow ridding no air flow.i do a lot of fast ridding and have no melting what so ever
I agree, I also think the poll is mis-worded. The best answer for me as the poll questions were asked was I don't think it's a problem because for me it isn't, but if it were worded it's a problem, but I haven't experienced it I would have picked that answer.
Mine melted yesterday during a hill climb on a wooded trail. Has anyone contacted the dealer about this? Will they replace the piece that melted? I plan on contacting them tomorrow about mine.
I did not think it was going to be a problem until I serviced mine after the Memorial Day weekend at Waynoka. It got pretty hot on Sunday and that must have been when mine melted. Going to do the heat shield or an exhaust wrap.
There is less people having problems than I initially thought. I still think I would do the heat shield just to be safe. We will se if polaris does something to fix it in the newer models.
I wasn't trying to be critical of your poll question, only clarify that the problem is worth watching but that I hadn't experienced a problem. Your poll is a smart.....You know where there's smoke, there's fire! Let's ride!
