How fast is Polaris warranty work? Also has anyone had a problem with their ride clanking while slowing down? Any help would be great just don't wanna take it to the dealer because I've got a rode coming up

my 2011 is in the shop right now. it was making a clicking /grindy noise from left rear .dealer says it possibly a cv joint if so they will replace the whole axle shaft(warranty ) it might be just a wheel bearing. will find out before weekend. hope this may be some help for your issue.

Did it only do it when you were slowing down?

yes it did. i would give er some throttle and when i slowed down thats when i could hear it.not turning just going straight.
Now if you are going down a hill and u hear a clunking noise that is normal operation for a Polaris.. just gearing noise.

I have found that their are 3 vairiables to your first question. It depends on #1- how bad the dealer you take it to is back logged ( the # of bikes getting worked on in front of yours), #2- if they have to order the parts you need (takes 3-5 buisness days to get parts) and #3- depends if Polaris says ok or if your dealer has to try to convince them to fix what is wrong!!!! A good dealer will go to bat for you if Polaris says no!!!! For me it's been from 2 weeks to a month & 1/2!!! Hope this helps!!
