Is there a factory upgrade or fix out for the intake/dust problem on the 09's? I have an S, but I think the intakes are all the same. I have 5 year warranty but would rather not have to do battle with polaris at a later date if possible.
No flame here but to be fair the picture you show is an early model intake boot with no bellows.You guys should read this.....applies to the 2010 as well, no change. The only way you're going to know if you're sucking in dirt is to remove your bed and take the rubber boot off the throttle body and look in there...you can't tell from removing the air cleaner, the dirt is being sucked up well past the filter.

Snorkel the air box and run a uni on the snorkel and your problem will be gone. I always carry a extra uni on long rides so if they get stoped up I can just swap it out. Not only will the TB be clean but your air box and factory filter will be fairly clean to. This is the sure fix.I did the stock air-intake system.... Than I bought a Ump...W/ Both intake systems...up-here where I do most of my riding... during the summer months.. the dust is very fine... and did get into throttle body and into engine W/ both air in-take systems....They need to come up here to test there air in-take systems, but since I did it... may-be no need for them to....Any-way my solution to solve this problem was a different air filter intake system all-together...I am going to do a write up on Junk Yard air intake system...in a few weeks...just stay tuned.....Here is a video of the dust up here...and both the stock and UMP did not cut the mustard up here
....Also note...that both other systems prolly work fine in most places

It won't hurt. You can start by taking things apart to see how it looks now. With all the talk of dust ingestion, the least you'll gain is peace of mind.I'm hoping with 30 hours and running ok making the change now to a DFR will save it.
Ive had the Mud industries snorkle sitting in the box waiting for today, Just bought The DFR waterproof Snorkel airbox, Im connecting them together then the air is pulled from my snorkel thats going to have prefilter (multi stage uni filter)..If something gets past that....Then its just ment to be.Snorkel the air box and run a uni on the snorkel and your problem will be gone.
