Not picking on you rockman, you just gave me the perfect lead-in to my rant. :grin2:
While I agree that may be the underlying cause of this particular issue, the
PROBLEM is that Polaris continues to have serious quality control issues. Whether it's a lack of funding in that department or a lack of caring I do not know but it's been prevalent for years.
-triple cylinder jetskis in the '90s that burned pistons
-800 sled motors in the '00s with crank bearing issues
-for 7 years RZRs had a seam in the floorboard that leaked and the first several years had a gap at the cowl that would allow chunks of mud to come in and land on your feet.
Now here we are with the General...less than one year into production and they've changed the rear of the frame to allow access to the differential fill plug.
All of this begs the question...who the **** is doing the test driving/maintenance on these things that these issues aren't being addressed in development?
