One of them had their clutch fly off on the trail a couple days ago. There was another one last week.

How poo is getting away with such a slow fix is beyond me.

Intermittent failures and you can’t test it in shop. It will hold til it doesn’t. Usually at the worst times.

Right, but governing bodies will force a recall, just like what happened to cat a few years ago. I'm guessing the injury rate is low enough to keep it suppressed for now.
If sledders were a more organized bunch, there probably would have been a class action suit by now.

because people keep lining up to buy a defective product.

There used to be the argument that Doos were blowing up chaincases when Polaris was blowing clutches. Only Polaris is keeping on the cycle while Doo sorted their chit out.

 

[maxwell]

he sure hasnt been spending any time on his polaris machines the last month or so

Turcotte stabbed a rail in the trail in one of his latest videos, add that to the poo engineering idea to remove the rail caps.

Things you can make from Polaris parts.

so they towed out a polaris and a brp sled and another brp unit sound like it has clutch issues put only the Polaris sleds are junk lol

Bingo

 

[jcjc1]

it's which one is less junky.

 

[gedakbx]

Our 22 Matryx has 1800 miles on it and not one issue. 23. G5 has 250 miles and last trip it’s was dropping rpm on the second and third day like it had a bad power valve servo motor, no codes, cable or valve issue that I can see.

 

[jcjc1]

looks like the doo is the more junky of the two in your case but one person's singular experience doesn't much matter. it's overall number of issues/recalls/stop rides/downtime per manufacturer.

Sent er a little too hard yesterday I guess

More broken sleds, these new sleds are junk considering what they cost

Yep. Watching all this unfold makes me have little interest in “upgrading” from a XM

These guys aren’t exactly the nicest to their stuff

Generally, most won’t have a bad experience with new iron if taken care of

Forking out 27g for the "top model" with the best suspension, turbo engine and they can't take a season of abuse. Most of these sleds don't have high mileage this year either, top dollar for inferior parts. When polaris's break you call them junk, when a ski-doo breaks you call it abuse. The fact that most people are scared to own a sled off of warranty paints the real picture.

I'd have to agree, these guys are hammering these sleds day after day like super cross bikes, ch!t is gunna break!
