So I still have 5 hours until my first service (according to the owners manual) and I have been out of town for almost a month and so I pulled my machine out to clean it (which I did) I checked the oil (good), and then decided to just check the air filter on a whim, and then I noticed there was no air filter… the inside of the airbox was dusty to say the least. I took a photo of it, and then cleaned it out and rolled it back into the garage. I have not been in sand, just on dirt trails, but some parts were very fine dust.

So… I am obviously going to talk with the dealer tomorrow morning, but I can already see where that might go, and then I will escalate it with Polaris. I would be concerned after a year or so if any damage occurred from no air filter from factory or dealer. Very, very frustrated right now.

My question, has anyone had this issue? and if it were you, what would you be doing?

Thanks.
