Broken belt drive

[CUSO]

Ya freddy, you heard Lenny.. LOL

Hey Freddy. Why don't you get off the pro site, you ain't buying one, you don't like em, you know your junk is way better, so get lost, only reason ur always on the poo site I assume is to try and reassure yourself you made the right choice. So run along and make some more videos on the hardback hills where the sno bikes are climbing and the sleds are stopping halfway up and taking off up again, impressive, lol. Not sure if everyone else gets sick of your constant blah blah about poor poo problems, but I sure as hell do. Stick to your Doo cream sites, you guys can hang out and high five each other about how dominant you are, on the net.

lenny give your head a shake, two drivshafts down and season has not started yet, i have buddys with pros just like you, know one wants that happening


you sure talk the smack...

guy from B.C. just posted his sons sled broke the drive shaft on his pro........on snowest


quoted from snowest:
"I got a pict, how do I load it, or I can text it to somebody and they can upload it.
it's clearly broke of at the drive side of the axle just outside the tunell , looks like it necks down there just before the hex of the drive shaft"

Just a FYI, some of the ribbed driveshafts on the 2012 models were never welded from the factory and would spin the insert in the shaft when the track was under extreme traction situations. I have some Polaris dealers as customers and they have confirmed that there was a run of serial numbers that were affected. There have been no confirmed failures of the new hex driveshafts which are actually glued. The only way the insert could spin in the tube is if the tube split, which looks like it would be highly unlikely.
Once again more rumors. I'm sure there is more to the belt story too.

I rode my new Pro this past weekend with a 174 3 inch and it worked just fine with plenty of on off and hard braking. We had to jump about 20 creeks at quartz and no issues.

Great to hear, I have to say the whole situation with the sled that 'broke' on snowest sounded fishy. Drive shafts don't just break while they are sitting there overnight. I was thinking that his track was frozen to the ground and he just tried to take off from there.

is snowest as skidoo biased as snowandmud? seems like all the pro issues come from over there with no pictures and fishy stories just like the idiot that tried saying he broke his driveshaft on here and then just vanished from the site after getting huge media on his story? pretty sure if it was a skidoo everyone was beaking moderators would shut the thread down immediatly. just my opinion. everyone should quit story telling and just let the 13 pros get on the snow first.

Looks like the Poo clan has a short memory.
Remember when Doo came out with the XP and everyone was talking pinecones and broken drive shafts? I am sure a good number of polaris guys jumped on that.
Kinda makes you wonder how they could get all those sleds out by august.... so quickly... food for thought. Hope they didn't take shortcuts and have half of the polaris owners sitting in line to get parts changed.

just saying its november 6th today and all i hear about is people breaking stuff on there new sleds? probably smashing rocks and stumps would have something to do with it or polaris are just poor quality because they cant stand up to hard solid objects lol i had a new xp when they came out and i sold it and kept my 06 rev because the xp was junk and i could admit it. if my polaris is a piece of crap i will be going back to a skidoo preferably a 12 with t motion because i think the xm is the ugliest looking new machine out.

Your concern and worry for the poo guys is noted. Maybe spend a bit more time worrying about the new features offered on your ride of choice, than worrying about un substantiated problems that may exist on a sled you're not gonna buy. Me, I'm hoping they all turn out good, regardless of what I choose to ride.

Are you the "director" of this thread now?

Thank you for "noting" my comment sir!! I feel honoured.
I can say what I want in this thread, sorry to disappoint you.

I just read on Snowest that guys are replacing the faulty pistons on the brand new pro ride sleds with Kelsey's.
Thoughts?

Nah, not the director, just pointing out the obvious, keep pounding away, maybe it somehow makes you more secure in your mind about your choice. Personally, I think it makes you look sorta petty and immature to be constantly pointing out the problems, real or perceived, about a sled you don't own or have any thoughts of buying. If you don't enjoy riding it, no sweat, don't buy it. Your domination of mountains , meadows, horsepower, gas mileage, oil consumption, folding track, flotation, and headlight brightness is also noted, and accepted.

Happy now ?

Wow good for you maybe stay on snowest then. You have no reason to be on the pro ride babbling your skidoo crap. We have all heard it enough. We get it your brand is skidoo your just annoying even coming on here like a stupid idiot. Take the hint cuso your wasting thread space I choose Polaris this season and a lot of other people have too you aren't changing anyone's mind.

I just pray to "whoever the f**k" that if anything (I know there will be comments about nothing will come up) comes up about a Ski-Doo recall or sh*t that no one in our Polaris group says a thing...

We all know it is annoying, like a 14 year old girl, when the Ski-doo crew does it.. so lets not be a bunch of young asses like this

I completely agree. Don't know why they feel the need to troll the Pro-ride forum either. I may look at the odd XM thread, really just cause I want to see what the guys are doing to their new sleds, but I never bother to post anything, because I don't really have anything to say about it. I'm not going out of my way to find problems with a sled I don't ride, and comment on it, though I'm sure there are some Polaris guys trolling the doo forums as well, I just don't understand it. Ride what you want, enjoy the time on the mountains with your friends, no matter what sled they are on.

I paid to be on the Snowest forum, was a good deal in my mind. The main thing I see that is different there than here is the brand of choice. At most any time there are twice as many folks in the Polaris forum as on the Cat site, even less looking at Doo, Yamaha is way down. The stuff that Fredw posts is comedy, it's always good for a laugh, if you Polaris riders want more info with less bashing go to Snowest.

I agree as well. I rode ski doo last year and spent a lot of time on the doo forums. I chose to buy a Polaris this year so now I'm on Polaris forums. Bashing anyone else's ride just makes a person look insecure in his/her own ride. Sledding is all about having the freedom to go wherever the heck you want in the wintertime and enjoy it to the fullest. I'm not egotistical enough to believe that just because I bought a Pro this year that makes it the best sled ever built.

Show me in this thread where I bashed.

I made a couple of comments on your snowmobiles, nothing negative. so....
If all you are so over sensitive about someone going on here and posting, I suggest you deal with it like big boys and suck it up.

I feel for all of you being so distraught, perhaps you can join a support group?

Holy sand in the vaginas.....

I think the word used was babbling... bashing once maybe too

Either way, I can sit around saying my dick is 12 inches long but until it bottoms out in that sandy vagina it is all word of mouth..

Is it possible the guys replacing pistons held their machines to the pin first ride before seeing if the oil system functioned properly like the dealer told them to check.. maybe
Is it possible they are replacing pistons because they are doing a built motor and turbo for an upgrade.. maybe

All we ask is proof.. bashing is fine, and can be comedy, when in moderation

It's not bashing, it's trolling. Take a look at your own signature.
