Well this happened last month, I was shifting from 2ndto 3rd and BOOM…… all hell broke loose. I just pushed in the clutch and rolled to the side of the highway and called a tow truck. My SS a 2016.5 with 10,000 miles. Polaris did cover this under warranty and I am back on the road. FYI if you have to buy a rear end out of your pocket it is around $1700 plus labor.
I know of at least two SS’s in my area that have blown out the rear end. Also I am hearing that Polaris is asking for pictures of the rear wheel, they are pushing back on warranty if you are running a “non” Polaris rear wheel. I was wondering if this is going to be a common occurrence. I searched the forum but didn’t find any similar thread.
