Full Version: 2008 700 Switchback Dragon.... BENT RAILS!!!! (TWISTED)
Polaris Files > Snowmobiles > Crossover

I will get pictures up soon. I took it to the dealer because the rails were twisted. I wouldn't have taken so much time to find the real problem, if they had just warrantied it. If you look at your rear torque arm, the lower scissor mount is the only thing that acts as a spanner. The closest thing to it is the rear axle. So you have a span from the front arm mount to the rear axle on the top of the rails. The scissor mount is low in the rails and is a moving anchor. So mine twisted out on the top and because they are made of aluminum (a very rigid metal in cast form). They have a roll on the bottom to the rear scissor stop.

Warranty says, "No, I was abusive or jumped it." rolleyes.gif I have JUMPED EVERY SLED KNOWN TO MAN and this is supposed to be a premium model DRAGON!!! It is a good thing that I wouldn't give up on Polaris for not backing a RETARDED DESIGN!!!! sad.gif

So how should it have been built?

LIKE A PRO-X mad.gif mad.gif

I am putting the braces from a pro-x rail and spanners again from a pro-x in and straightening the rail out of the sled. New ones are only $220.76 EACH

Get a hold of Ice Age Manfacturing, new rails run about $125 a piece I believe.
