Polaris’s response to the QD break in

I received this last night about the QD system break in and what Polaris had to say.

Anyway, I think what people are misunderstanding about the belt is that they are not completely rubber like clutch belts, they are a plastic material and need to be heated up and bonded together for proper durability. Once this is complete they should hold tight for a long time.

Just FYI

Looks like some good things in there to allow Polaris to not warranty the belt.

Seriously, "power on" landings? Yeah, customers are going to be able to avoid that.

Ya that is the catch all terms if there was one.

You mean you don't make sure to lock up the brake before you land??? That's how I've always done it!!!

I guess if you wanna land on hard pack snow at 3 mph while your track is spinning at 60mph, buy the assault. This sled was made for DEEP snow and trees.

Anybody got a good clue as to what they mean by 'warming up' the belt and driveline? Hold the rear of the sled off the ground and let the track spin a few revolutions? Several minutes? What? If I remember right there is a blurb in my 2012 manual about elevating the rear of the sled and letting the track spin 'several revolutions' prior to taking off.

Ok, I ansawered my own question - per the 2013 manual that Mountainhorse posted a link to : (I'm paraphrasing)

First, elevate the rear of the sled about 4 inches off the ground. Then start the engine and let it warm up two to three minutes. Abruptly apply the throttle and let the track spin several revolutions, more for colder weather. Shut it off, take it down and you are ready to go.

Now where did I put that jack stand?

Im gonna assume it means don't start the sled, let the engine warm up then braap it right away when you take off. Be easy on the throttle for a short period of time.

 

[WFO or go home]

Throttle on landings are the norm even in the mountains.

Looks like a cover your butt move to me.

I have never recommended a break in period for the C3 SyncroDrive systems but I have had to apologize to many customers for the blue dust that wears off the belts in the first few 100 miles and sticks to everything hot.

I do agree that when the sled first starts to move when cold that you pull away slowly and slowly increase speed over the fist few minutes. The colder it is the more important this is.

Yup, wonder what happens when I'm pulling at full throttle and run over that tree for traction?

All I do is idle until 32F, tip the sled on its side, blap the throttle until the track spins freely, tip it back up and then tear out. Been doing this for a long time for the other rubber band.

I always call these "JRA stories" from my renters.....I was just riding along and my ski just fell off.
