............. Lol polaris ONLY had a driveshaft issue. Its now fixed. The drivebelts and CF overstructure are not issues. Dont make up ur own facts lol

When NOT broken in properly. Just like nethn

Wat did i say was false?? ............


Well to start with you said the break in of the belt issue is due to improper break-in procedures. Wrong! Plenty of documented cases where even dealers have broke them in for customer's and they still fail. There is a flaw in their design which the adding of a tensioner like the one fellow has developed will likely help aid the problem IMO as C3 seems to have little to no issues.

The CF structure IS also an issue as some sleds were sent out with holes drilled in the CF tubes for wiring harness securement points. Another fail.

And several low mileage engine failures. I've only heard of 1 or 2 '13 E-tec's that have failed in stock form.
And this is all on the '13 models only.

So maybe a handful E-tec's that have caught fire with a permanent fix released production line wide within 2 months. Compared to HUNDREDS of shaft failures with a band-aid fix the only option, and all the other issues that have been brought to light on the net alone, nevermind the 100's of owners that don't post on the web, I'd still rather drink Doolaide than Poojuice.

You seem to be in the know. Please elaborate on the "several low mileage engine failures" on '13's as well as HUNDREDS of driveshaft failures. Does Doolaid cause one to blow things out of proportion ?

Go check out the driveshaft thread in the poo section. There was a count done. I believe snowest had a count thread too.

I have 3 personal friends with '13's ranging from 350-750km on each machine that lost a hole in each.
The local dealer said he had 4 others so far as well with around 1000km when another buddy brought his '12 with 330miles on it for a broken ring. One was a turbo though so I guess it doesn't count. And thats ones I know of personally. Take your blinders off and look around. There have been quite a few-not just in Alberta/BC either. NA wide.

Don't get me wrong, I like Poo. I had a '13 snowchecked till I did a little research on the new Doo. Glad I cancelled it and went with the Doo now. There is nothing wrong with admitting that a particular machine has alot of issues-we didn't build it. Doo has issues too, Poo just has more and more widespread ones combined. Blows my mind sometimes.......

Good one cuso, you got me to bite. I just checked out the Snowest link you posted and did indeed find a lot of threads on the shaft and belt issues. I read the driveshaft poll and found 22 failures, 178 that haven't failed and 4 that failed with the collars installed. I know it's an issue, but I'm still not seeing the numbers spoken of here. Maybe I need a tall glass of your favorite hallucinogenic....Doolaid
