| Description of the problem | Went to start machine after a day of riding. Couldn't get engine to start without giving it throttle. Called dealer, waited over 2 weeks to get it in. They changed a bunch of sensors, but never fixed anything. I brought it to another dealer, and they found the crank shaft timing gear had spun on the crankshaft. Timing was off about 2 teeth. Its july and im about to get my machine back. Polaris must know that it has an issue, as they covered my parts outside of the warranty period. But refuse to pay labor. I know this is a known issue due to the online polaris forums. |
