Thanks for that!! It's a good network when someone from the other side of the rock can direct me to my local agent, I bought my Quad from Westbury Rurual Services and Patrick out there is a very helpful bloke indeed. I was more referring to an online repositry of tech bulletins for all to refer to when needed. I did download the 09 850XP manual but at some stage I will purchase a printed copy of the service manual for my 850 XP X2 LE (or as close a manual as I can get to it anyhow).
Best Regards - MM

Monkey man- I try to share as much tech tips and service bulletins that relate as best as I can from the Polaris dealer network. I can't directly post the bulletins because of copyright law, but I can share the info. I did see the Polaris team tip on the and it's says nothing more then what is in this thread

Ok I just have a question for you guys : why Polaris made a brand new valve cover design if the solution is to put some grease on the breather o-ring?!

The solution is not the grease, it's that the grease allows the breather to sit without bending the labyrinth out of spec.
I doubt this solution will fix everyones problem.
It's simply interesting that this fixed my issue and now Polaris has a tech bulletin about it.

Ok, I'm happy if this tip can help somebody to fix his trouble, but why polaris took that much time for a simple solution like this, when we know this problem exist since 2009?!

Because I just told them about the fix a few days ago. 
Kidding aside, who knows why?
Problems become inflated on the internet, forums blow things out of perspective.
Maybe from the view of Polaris the issue wasn't that large or they thought it was fixed with the previous redesign.
