80 MPH top speed

Don't say that he will ask how to get it.

I already have them...works great I haven’t been laid in years...

I have a new pick up line now

“HEY BABY, check out my wet noodle”

Also just found out...Polaris recommended they change my gas pedal assembly after it failed the diagnostic tests.

That’s why I paid extra.

Polaris is building me a new one...one part at a time...I’ll have the newest 2015 on the planet..

More of the conversation with Polaris...

they seemed pretty proud of the fact that my dealer was following all their maintenance /troubleshooting protocols to diagnose my problem. He seemed pretty impressed with everything and the way the dealer is handling it.

The guy on the phone told me exactly what was said and done by the dealer and Polaris reading from my case info documentation. They were very concerned with fixing the issue right the first time.

I got the impression Polaris is concerned about their reputation and the quality of their customer service and their dealers performance. And my satisfaction. They are sending an email survey so I can rate them. So far my dealer is doing great by me and I’ll put in a good word to suck up to them so it continues. I want my issues handled quickly and correctly...he even named my dealers resident slingshot mechanic.

I’m sure Polaris probably rates the dealers on their performance. So dealers have a stake in the game to accumulate the wall plaque kudos.

My dealership is family owned and operated...dad owns it, one son is GM, one the head salesman and one the service manager. They know who butters their bread.

One more thing Polaris wanted before they approved the new gas pedal assembly

They wanted the dealer to send them pictures from under my hood to see if I did any mods to the motor

Now here is my dilemma ... my SS is a 2015 which the dealer sold to me untitled. I’m the first legal owner and he is honoring the warranty. Which means I should be good until the spring of 2019.

If I do the current mods that are here or being shipped. Will my dealer still honor my warranty ...

I think I have a fantastic situation right now because the warranties are expired on all the other 2015s. Mine will be good technically for a total of 4 years

Dave, when I first started noticing something goofy...I thought it wasn't getting enough fuel...from a bad fuel pump or clogged filter...so if it's the gas pedal not allowing the motor to get fuel...it's kinda the same reaction.

Ok, I got my SS back today...now I could say lots of stuff concerning the many comments that were made...but I’m not...

That said, first of all some time ago I told you that my middle name was “Murphy’s Law” and things happen to me all the time that are first time events or things that shouldn’t/couldn’t happen...according to “experts” that are very familiar with the equipment in question...

Here is the bill for what the dealer did. Kudos to my dealer for not charging me a nickel.

Now for the fix...new starter is unrelated to the 80 mph thing...

Clock spring.. second one since I bought it...is not related to the 80 mph thing.

Next we come to the throttle pedal sensor....which is the cause of the problem...

And Polaris told them they have NEVER seen the issue I was having before. That is why they didn’t know what was causing it or how to fix it...

and that said...I don’t know if it’s a 2015 issue or an across the board issue that could affect all the years...

The mechanic told me the sensor has a rubber seal to keep water and dirt from getting into it...they said to be careful hosing down the gas pedal area. And to squirt some contact cleaner toward the seal to wash away any dirt. About once a month...maybe more if you’re in lots of dirt.

He also told me he had it going 90 and there didn’t seem to be any issues....I’ll be the judge of that but now we’re getting rain and snow coming in so it could be a while before I can drive it..

They seem to think the issue is resolved or they wouldn’t have released it...

They also reflashed the computer ....or updated it or completely reloaded it.......the dealers can't do it by themselves anymore they had to connect directly with Polaris So they Could do it...
