snowmobile rant.

[catinthehat]

theres a recall about that. aparently the new doos dont like cold weather.

Is that why there are so many claims about Doos dependability? If you never ride in cold weather cause it won't start you won't have many failures.

we did change the plugs and yeah between 6 of us pulling and pulling no go.

yeai hear ya.......just change the plugs on the hill. it will start. havent had the issue myself on any of the 5 2015s we have but have heard of it. you need to pull the pull start like a man not a little girl. seems with the high injector pressure it will foul them first pull if you dont give it a good enough tug to get it started.

But realistically....you don't know if yours will start in cold weather either.

It's not so much they won't start in cold weather but guys are having them die on them from fouled plugs mid ride. This isn't cool. It's one thing if it won't start on the truck, another when your 50km away and it just dies.

Ya, that was just a shot at the Cat. Neither one of us rides in cold weather any more.

But that would definitely suck!

I heard there developing a clamp to solve the fouling plug epidemic ....... I think the glue in the cap end is failing....

 

[maxwell]

Laugh it up. I'll change my plugs just like I used to 5 years ago . Then continue to whoop ass on a pretty incredible machine in comparison to the competition

some of these polaris dealers must be damn good to sell guys extended trail sleds for the mountains when there is real deep snow machines for sale elsewhere.

Mods, this thread should be changed to Polaris rant.. Funny how everyone quickly forgets past Ski Doo/Rotax problems like the infamous flaking ring issue on the 800's, the $hitty run of the of case tolerances on the 800R's, and not to mention the price of Ski Doo snowmobiles continuing to increase higher every new model year… E-Tec's have their own issues as well. Whatev's boys, I for one have had enough of paying through the nose for Bombardier sleds, OEM parts and accessories. Yes, Ski Doo make a good snowmobile, so does Polaris, Cat and Yamaha..without having to put up your firtsborn and HELOC to buy one…

I get a kick out of all the guys who would be pissy if a dealer had used a part off of a sled on the showroom to get a customer going. Wouldn't you be pretty happy if it was you that was broken and had no parts. The beauty of a small dealer is they know most of their customers and want to see them all happy. In the past my dealer has called me to ask if he can use my vin to get warranty on another customers sled that is just out of warranty. I'm sure this doesn't fly anymore. But at the time I had no problem since I knew he would try to do that for me as well.

"Look for a 163 skidoo"......ding ding ding you win!!!!

No!!!! It's got to be a 174 cause nothin' else will Doo

 

[Big nasty]

this is more of a pointless threat and rant.

I snow checked my 2013 pro and its had its list of issues. needed to go in for the driveshaft clamp, the motor blew up last year, then the clutch spring broke, now its been at the shop for a month over a throttle safety switch. its all been under warranty, but cause of this switch ive missed 2 trips in a month.

the dealer has ordered the switch but it was backordered, am i wrong to think that they should just yank the switch off of a crated sled and let me on me way. Im pretty sick of how unreliable this polaris has been, i dont even ride hard compared to the rest of the group.

Tomorrow im going to go talk to the dealer and maybe go look for a 163 skidoo if they have more bad news.

So what did you end up deciding? or what did they do for you?
