I have a 2016 polaris 570 that I bought to drive when I go to Texas. I ride is some around the house however I dont have the wide open spaces I have in Texas. My issue is that the Fuel Regulator has went out on me TWICE, or both times I took it to Texas. The first time it drove 20 miles before stranding me in the desert alone with someone elses wife. We were making a run to town to get supplies. The next trip to Texas was this month and I was driving carefully after the first experience, I decided to stay within a mile of my Cabin. sure enough in about 1.5 miles of driving it died on me. I had to walk home. Both times I have taken it to Texas it died on me. I have not had the opportunity to really break the thing in because both times I intended to drive the crap out of it, It broke on me. Then when I get home I spend a month taking it to the shop, waiting to get it fixed and then go back again to pick it up. So this thing has 23 hours on it and about 185 miles.
The dealer keeps telling me its all my fault. I really dont understand that logic. I have a $100 generator I bought from a cheap Chinese harbor freight that I have taken to Texas 3 times. it uses the same gas, gets used like 100 hours each trip and it just keeps running. my brand new Polaris takes one look at Texas and pukes and leaves me stranded. I am about at my wits end here. the dealer keeps telling me my fault, i need to drive it more. Yeah, I am going to drive this thing when I dont trust it. Tell me I am nuts to think a Polaris that is only 23 hours used can go through 2 regulators. I dont care how bad the gas is or how often I drive it , thats just not right. obviously my dealer thinks I am supposed to drive 50 miles a week or more. I dont find that reasonable at all and I dont see the logic either.
Can someone here help me out with this issue. The Dealer wants to replace the entire tank each time it breaks and although Polaris picked up the tab both times, i dont look forward to the day they try to charge me $800 for a new tank and fuel system. Apparently the touring model they wont sell you just the fuel regulator, you have to buy the entire gas tank and fuel pump and all for $800. sounds like a crock to me.
Hoping some sharp experienced polaris user can help me.
