    I had the same thing happen with my RS1. My wife put it on it's side on memorial day 2019. I was told the frame was on back order and they (polaris dealer I purchased from) submitted a VDO (vehicle down order) a few days later I heard back from the dealership, there are no frames available they are on backorder, but we expect to have 1 for you by September 25 2019. Not sure when it actually came in but I picked my machine up October 25th.
    It's out of your hands now, all you can do is wait. It sucks but it is what it is. If they are replacing the roll cage which they should. You might consider upgrading it since they are paying to replace it anyway. My .02 pennies. Hope it all works out! Sucks not knowing when it will be ready for action again. Good luck!

    THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO MAKE VIDEO. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS AND RESPONSES. was looking at this machine , the talon and X3. Since have found out that X3 guys complain about bending the suspension and how u need aftermarket stuff. Now this with the XP. Still doing research on all. Guess ill stick with my 2016 900S a lil longer. Solid overall machine. Honestly just wanted a better suspension.......

I have over 6,500 miles and still runs good. Quality has gone down hill ever since then. Keeping my 2008 RZR 800. As of Nov 2019 I still have the original belt on it and it still looks good.

    Spent five years as a technician with babbitts sport center near silver lake sand dunes, from my hands on experience from 2012-2017 the design and execution of the machines were greatly improved while the build quality went down hill at the same rate. Replacing all the ball joints and bushings due to excessive play, blown out wheel bearings, worn secondary clutches and smoked primaries, consistent wire harness repair for injectors and tmap sensors, front differential failures left and right all within 800-1500 miles is unacceptable. They have the market covered on performance and apparently in this world that’s all it takes to put up with the poor build quality. Bummer on the new unit being so fragile, I feel your pain man.

    As a polaris tech I have always strongly advised against the brand for anyone that doesnt just have money to burn, the initial performance and user friendliness of the machines draws people to them but after even 20 hours on most of their machines the quality starts to show, all I can say is polaris is making a ton of money on the margins they have on parts and the machines themselves.

    Loved your video and not to question your speed at the accident but i can vouch with you that Polaris makes weak chassis (not comparable to can am and the yamaha for sure) but this is also why
    1- after market companies like SDR makes cages, doors and other parts
    2- all of utv i tested so far (not including the new pro xp just try to flip them going over 10mph in a heel decent and u will see oem part damages in many areas.
    Hope you fix her soon man

      I would hesitate to bolt a stronger roll cage to this weak and thin frame it’s over hyped and under built as for the speed I wasn’t staring at the speedometer but it was a low speed flop in soft dirt that never should have resulted in so much damage

  • @r3jybarra
    @r3jybarra Před 4 lety +1

    Did the same to mine. I have a 2019 xp4 turbo s. I put it on its side at low speed and the roll cage bent, both radiators needed to be replaced, because the brackets put terrible bends in them, it broke several clips and a mount to my front headlight. I understand its heavy but was disappointed in the strength of the roll cage.

    I had similar issues with Polaris help phone, my 2015 sportsman 1000xp kept catching stuff on fire, debris collecting on the muffler caught fire numerous times, the fenders caught fire from the muffler, then the front differential input bearing plate exploded, then voltage regulator catches fire, then 3 more after the first voltage regulator caught fire, so most I've seen outta Polaris is a heat sheild update kit, that's the only thing Polaris has done with all my bikes issues, oh wait, it also spits out brake pads,, ya that's safe right. Polaris has the right price, awesome machines with all the bling and fancy features you could ever ask for... BUT.... they dont build quality products and they DONT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY BUILD. If you get hurt they're only concern is if there's gonna be a lawsuit. I'm in the market for a new high end snowmobile and I really like what Polaris offers, but I know I'd be even more STUPID to buy another Polaris. YAMAHA OR SKIDOO OR IM WALKING, FUCK IT.

      @@offroadfunz6094 Sorry, I'm not buying it. 3 mph is a brisk walking speed; IF you rolled it at walking speed (doubtful), it would not have done that much damage. As far as parts availability, yes it's maddening, but it's very common with a new model; it takes time for the parts supply chain to materialize. Greed? I don't know about that, but your point is well taken. The video is good in that it points out not only the parts availability (or lack thereof), but also the ridiculous pricing. But hey, that's no different than many vehicles on the market today. But 3 mph? Nope.

I'm a welder/fabricator, not a great one, but understand how something can be made stronger and still be lighter, those pieces probably should be gusseted better just to start, that probably doesn't cover what has happen to yours, but that's just what I see on mine.

    3 miles a hour? This is a new production so of course it is going to cost more to get parts but I don't see how a rollover, especially at 3 mph destroyed radiators or the frame. I just see plastic damage. Another question. Why do you roll over so many rzrs? We have had rzrs all the way back to the 800 and then 900, 1000xp, 1000xp turbo dynamix, and now the 2020 Ultimate. We have never rolled one ever. Just turn into your insurance company and get it paid for and get something else. Of course you can't get parts when it is a new model and still in production and high demand. We love ours by the way. Much beefier suspension and a great ride so far.
