Glad you at least know what it is, should be a fairly easy fix if you can get the parts quickly.

Parts are in stock at Polaris they will get it fixed this week. So long as that’s it and not a cracked cylinder head.

Hoping for the best for ya. Hopefully it is just a gasket. Sucks your the one off.

Dealer stated tearing it apart.

Update. Cylinder 1 intake runner cracked. Leaking coolant into cylinder 1. Intake is heated with so it doesn’t ice up. Pics coming.

Not head gasket. So easy fix.

Clubin good to know, hope you get it back soon.

Good to hear and explains it stopping after a few minutes. Had to be a very small leak, water/antifreeze is not compressible so for it to burn it out without popping the head studs equates to a small small leak.
As Red stated this site homes the pioneers of these machines and so far what I read are various but not numerous one offs such as yours.
I will admit though, I spent my 50+ K and really enjoying this machine so that's the most comfortable thing for me to believe.

 

[Mr.C]

Good to hear. Hopefully you’ll be back making empties again soon!

 

[Clubin]

Here it is. It’s all yanked apart. They removed the head to find the head gasket perfectly intact. Then started looking at other possible problem points. Turns out intake had coolant in it. And crack is visible. This is from the throttle body side.

Bad casting for sure. Hopefully, this will be behind you soon

 

[Mr.C]

Good to know they know why. And have found the issue. Hopefully it’s all back together soon and your out on the trail.

 

[Big Red]

Clubin hope you have it back before the weekend!

 

[Clubin]

It won’t be back this weekend. Parts shipped. Monday was a holiday for us. So next week it’ll be back. If all goes well.
