Out in NW Alaska Village (WLK) Went out last thursday, started up the 2008 Polaris 550 touring, let warm up 15 minuets and hopped on for a short ride across river to store, she quit at 400yards, pistons are toast.
that week 4 other fellas in village had ther polaris 550's burn up too, some in town some outta town, had driven in colder temps(-43F) with same oil/fuel so what the heck? only thing different this time was I never permixed the gas like your sopposed to when new, well I just kept gassing the same every time for last couple seasons has little over 3000 on odometer could the premixing the gas have prevented this?.

Only things not OEM stock are the ski's that cracked and broke last winter and all the shocks(puked 1'st season) & windshield(taller).
