So I preorder and put my down payment on a brand new 2016 Polaris Highlifter 850 at the beginning of October. The dealer I went to is just over an hour away from me and he was 400 dollars cheaper on dealer costs then the one 15 minutes from me so I went to him. Seems like a better guy too. He told my bike should be in their shop in two weeks. Was happy and made plans for the next following weekends to go to several different mud bog events with it. Well two weeks went by the date he told me he’d have it in and after calling him everyday trying to figure things out. He gave me a date for 12/7 then the next day he called back giving me a better date of 11/5. Well that date passed and I just got a call today from my dealer telling me once he spoke with Polaris factory rep.

The 850 highlifter had some emission problems and the factory put the production on hold for them to fix it. I was told the factory is so backed up right now but I still should have my new bike soon. Hoping next week. I remember some people talking about the routing of the exhaust on the 850 in the other highlifter thread. Not sure if that could be related. I’m really hoping that their fix for this won’t rob any of the machines power.
