It's painful to see everyone bickering on this thread, especially guys I've been chatting with for years on this forum getting dragged into the henhouse cackling. My 22 TS riot3 pro was missing an axel nut and had no locktite on the jackshafts, misaligned jack shaft to drive shaft, the tracking hitting the bulkhead of the tunnel... QC has been an issue lately with all the manufactures as they try to scale to demand while in the midst of a global supply chain breakdown. I agree, a premium price should warrant premium deliverable... but at the end of the day a full mechanical detail before taking these into the mountains is mandatory. It's my opinion therefore that the dealerships should have this responsibility rather than the consumer. The Polaris dealers make like 200 bucks per TS sold - not nearly enough margin to have their mechanics do such work. Therefore the manufactures need to increase the dealers margin and enforce inspection and certification of the kits before they go out the door if they can't solve the QC issues in their own final assembly process. KTM is a good example of this process. Mandatory build, inspection, and 60m running time with ECU data uploaded to cooperate validating those steps before they are allowed to roll em out. This is just my opinion, nothing more.
