I recall the first gen ctec was a bit of a flame thrower not sure about the second or third gen models, maybe someone can chime in.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Looking at the sleds I had that are effected by this stop ride and the mileage that I put on them. It totals right around 40,000 miles and still no fire.  I think I may go buy a lottery ticket with the luck I'm having.

Bontz Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Had an email exchange with my (new) dealer about the Stop/Ride ordeal and he said the last he heard from Polaris was, they plan to have the fix ready by end of September. I can only imagine what Hay Days is going to be like with all the vultures around the main Polaris truck/tent ... could be entertaining! As for the '23 models, those that aren't shipped yet won't be shipped until the fix has been validated and done at the factory ... I feel deja vu coming on from last year!! LOL  The statement this year is, "We are committed to optimizing the riding season for our customers and dealers." Let's see how long we see that statement used.

Ziemann Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 So much drama...... First @Bontz- yes I've been lurking, but I have been keeping watch on my garage 24/7 to make sure it doesn't burn down from an exploding VR-1. @krom NO REGRETS. I will be at the release at Hay Days on Saturday, and will be interested to see if Cat can execute a better launch and presentation than they have the last few years. I love Cat and have ridden them for almost all of my adult life (until this past December). And I still have Cats in the garage. But I cannot imagine what Cat could possibly release that would make me switch back. The Polaris Matryx is THAT good..... No recall is going to keep me off of my sled this winter. Hell, I survived Cat's fuel tank/neck cracks without getting burned to a crisp, so I'm not worried about this either. At least I won't be getting splashed with gasoline this time like I did when Cat had their fuel tank issues. Polaris will be smart and will have a canned answer at Hay Days and will stick to the script. Don't expect anything insightful to come from the reps at their booth. I suspect that they already had a solution BEFORE they issued the recall. They've obviously been aware of this for a while, and hopefully have had some time to prepare and respond. BTW- @X2700 @D-rail @Bontz What time are we getting together for a beer at Hay Days?
