yee haa boys another POLARIS RECALL

[PSI 800]

Just got another recall email from POO. Its involving the tank yet again. This time they are telling us to run S#$tty ethanol fuel until they have a new permanent fix for the electrostatic discharge issue again.

Dont worry tho, they are sending out new stickers

"In early March, Polaris will begin mailing new recommended fuel labels for your snowmobile instructing you to only use E10 fuel (10% ethanol) 91+ octane until the permanent engineered repair becomes available."

Pretty comical. Does ethanol mode have less power? I've seen people go back and forth but never cared enough to get to the bottom of it

So I get to have more bog to avoid the .0001% chance blowing up my sled ( Literally).

I'm no dare devil but Ill take the risk. My axys 800 ran like crap on ethanol mode the few times I had to use it, I assume the boost is worse but haven't tried.

Just received the insane notice today in my email

Around here I don't know of any gas stations that have 91 with ethanol....

 

[kylant]

i'm no chemist, but oxygenated fuel is less combustible/explosive than non?

 

[Empire087]

I mean thankfully my tank only gets filled with 93 e10, if its good enough for 550whp on my car, its good enough for my sled.

Polaris to Bud Light ----> "Hold my beer".

Time to ditch Polaris. The ethanol setting not only kills performance but it significantly kills your fuel economy. So, any back country adventure may be met with spending the night on the mountain if you don't watch it closely. Good one, Poo.

I sometimes sit in on risk ranking meetings at my work. There are people in some of those meetings who act terrified and seem to prioritize alien invasions and unicorn attacks over “most likely to occur”. Normally we risk rank based on extrapolation of past failures/events at both the local facility as well as industry wide. I wonder how Polaris does this?

It's a CYA move by Polaris. Just ride and keep your tank full of fuel of choice.

IS THERE JUST NO END TO ALL THE RECALLS ALL OF YOU POO RIDERS HAVE TO ENDURE??

Does anyone know if the CPSC is involved on this static discharge in fuel tank issue?

 

[RBalazs]

Clearly I live life on the edge and only preform recalls my dealer and I deem warranted. I took my warning “stickers” off anyway, so nothing to worry about.

Also, no matter what I do my sled reverts to ethanol setting from ethanol free. I do run ethanol free and will continue too. Sucks for scared boost riders, because they hate ethanol fuel.

I'm so excited for the new sticker Poo will issue for the fuel tank that will say "use 10% ethanol fuel only"

 

[rulonjj]

I was feeling a little unloved….then I got a sweet email from Polaris on Valentine’s Day telling me how much they cared about me….

just off the phone with polaris,, "specialist",,,, no good will,, no money,, no nothing,, I have 2 polaris 22 matryx i bought new,, they don't give a **** about anything but money !!!!!!!!!!!! billions in profits,,not a dime to the customers that support them when we have issues with their junk !!!!!!!! Right back to skidoo I go,, polaris will never get a dime from me again,, not to mention where i live in wyoming we have 91 premium with trace of ethanol,, so really good fuel,, so polaris answer to not being able to run 10% ethanol where i live is "stop ride" lol so not really voluntary,,, and we all know ethanol is the death of 2 strokes and is super hard on all engines,, so should i just put 9 gallons of 91 in and add a gallon of water ???? lol of coarse not,, but thats basically what it is ha ha,, So i run seafoam on a normal basis anyways should be a good stabilizer i would think,, shouldn't have an issue in my mind,, but im sure glad they will be sending stickers out to tell us to run **** fuel to prevent issues lol,,
