Amato, if that were true, it might be funny, but it isn't.
All the issues cat has had recently, they have not had engine issues.

The only fusion that really had issues was the 900, and even that after the updates was a totally reliable sled. At least Polaris fix their issues. Heck even Yamaha has not been immune to zero problems on new sleds. O8 nytros, 97 600 twins, and probably a few others. Bottom line is they fixed them, well, mostly at least on the next year's model.
Well my 98 indy 500 went past 5400miles with lots of compression on both cylinders before i traded on my warrior and that 488 was bulletproof along with the us built 500,600.700 of the late 1990s so you can say there motors were very reliable at one time.Now with the EPA regs they have to lean them out to meet the fleet average.Was going to buy a 2013 indy600(nice,lightweight sled)but hearing the stories of the motors only lasting to 5000miles at best had me concerned.I was offered a five year warranty but at a price of $2200CDN.They don,t make the smokers like they use to.

Last week i put down $500bucks and spring ordered a 2014 phazer RTX.With my 04 warrior on its ninth winter(7000+miles)i should not need another sled for a longtime(still give the warrior a few good runs ever winter to remind me what the quad is likesideshowBob said:X2...the way things are going we may all be scrambling to own 2014 or older Nytro +/or Apexs the last of the true 100% Yamaha sleds...just like we are hanging on to the last of the two stroke Yamaha sleds...SRXs and Vipers!!!
