Missed it as a sticky
It's pinned at the top of the forum ?
Does your lever pivot pin slide fore-aft smoothly? When you release the throttle, the pin should slide outward releasing the TRS switch. Seems some are mentioning issues where the pin gets caught up, and doesn't disengage the switch. Not sure if this is the recall issue, might be.
Mine's been removed and by-passed, but I'm going to check it out on the bench later. I rely on the tether, and wear it religiously. I know it works and I test it regularly too, I jump ship often, lol.
YUP - they check clearance on the pin - must be at least 20 thousandths clearance - and they check for kink in cable by throttle bodies - sounds like someone on the assembly line kinked a few of them installing them. No idea how many so they have to check them all. - took less than 20 minutes and never took the sled out of the trailer. Got my fuel pump the other day so I am back in business!
Just talked to my dealer. Said they will not even inspect the snowmobile until 18 Feb when they can order parts.
forgive the layman question, but is this kink something readily apparent (IE cable housing has a sharp/non round angled bend) or is it easily missed
If someone could post up the inspection directions & pictures PDF that the dealerships have that would save a lot of us a lot of time....
TiA!

This did actually happen to me riding in deep snow. I assumed it was due to throttle icing as has happened with previous RMK PROs (2018). But this was different as the cable did not retract completely and the TRS switch must not have worked.
I ended up losing my cable out of the thumb throttle, machine stayed WOT (luckily uphill deep snow and was able to over break it and kill it). But it was a little hairy for a moment, and then had to reconnect throttle cable to throttle lever.
It did seem like it was an icing issue on the cable where it enters its housing, but maybe it was the poor routing underneath?

I just ended up re-routing my cable on the other side of the mentioned coolant hose. Looks a lot better and placing it felt more natural. Cant tell if theres any throttle feel difference, probably not.
worth taking a peak - this is what I noticed also....abrasion of the housing on the ECM box. Wasnt bad yet but for only 350 miles it wasnt getting better. Dealer told me in 2021 they routed the cable as mentioned before in this thread and he didnt know why they made the change

Mine did it the very first ride, about 6 miles on the sled. Cable stuck, tss didn't work. Hasn't been an issue since with over 300 miles, but I also did the nxt lvl throttle block and we all have a tether. As far as polaris is concerned, you were warned, so you either stop riding it and get it fixed or you're on your own. If you don't and **** something up, it's on you, not them.
So maybe I missed it but is it only the sleds with visible signs of linking that are sticking wot? Or can you feel binding in the throttle action as a sign? My sled has been running flawless but this is concerning.
My dealer said the same thing. I called the next closest dealer and they had no problem with inspecting and ordering parts if needed. Says something about them imo.
I checked my cable this weekend and it seems fine but the bend isn't ideal, obviously (see pic). Although, I would like to have it rerouted so this doesn't become a problem in the future. From the sounds of it some dealers don't want to touch the sled until some date in the future. That's completely unacceptable to me. How many of you have rerouted your cable? What has to be removed to do it? I'm guessing the side panels, hood and console? Any tips would be helpful as I would like to do this on my own if my dealer expects me to wait and kill off another month of the season.
It took my dealer all of five minutes to check my sled - I can't understand WHY a dealer would make a customer wait. So far my dealer hasn't found any kinked cables and a couple tight throttles. Literally a tech walked into my trailer with a feeler gauge, checked the clearance on the pin holding the flipper on, and then used a mirror and a flashlight to look at the spot where the cable enters the throttle bodies. There was adequate clearance on the flipper and no kink in the cable so I was done. The dealer called me the day the fix was listed by Polaris and scheduled me a time to stop by. As far as I know they were calling everybody who bought a sled from them. That is proper customer service FYI - no screwing around, no excuses, let's get it in here and check it out.
