Mechanics not doing their job!!

[torkd]

I rode Friday December 14/2012 with a group of guys. The one guy has an 08 Ski-doo that was just in at the Ski-doo dealership in Lethbridge Alberta for his pre-season check. We got a couple hours into our ride and his right side powervalve flew off. Luckly we found all the parts in the belly pan and put it back together to finish our day. We checked the left side Powervalve and the bolts were hand tight!!!!!!! The sunday right after that happened I was with a different group and again one of the guys just picked his sled up from a pre-season check at the same dealer, not even 20km down the trail both powervalves flew off!! Something is going seriously wrong with the dealership!! Makes me wonder how many other guys they left stranded on the trail!

Little more info. Pre season check doesn't mean they take the power valves off. Unless they specifically asked for a power valve cleaning

It's like that everywhere. Most these places got one or two J-men the rest are kids who don't care, don't know any better and aren't properly trained.

I'm not sure why the power valves were removed. Something like this happenening on two sleds from two separate groups raises a lot of questions. From what I've heard there are ongoing talks with the dealer.

Typical.
You pay a shop rate of $100+/hour and get the $8/hour guy doing the work.
