Delivering the SS in the winter has given me way more time than I usually get to go over the fit and finish of a bike. I know this isn't an excuse but I just noticed that I was out in the garage staring at the SS and was finding many issues that I'm not sure I would have in the summer.
I am enjoying mine, I can hardly wait to get to Florida for the winter when I can ride it every day. I waited long enough to get it. It is a new vehicle and I know there will be issues, but Polaris I am hoping, will address the major ones, they have only been on the road a little over a month so I will hope for the best. Go buy a first year BMW and see how quick they respond. Dont sweat it so much, get one and have fun!
I have absolutely "Zero" problem with mine. But then I have not received mine neighter. But when I do, I'm pretty sure that all those list problem that were mentioned here on the forum will come up. But until then the list of problem still is growing. I feel your pain brothers and sisters.
i am in florida, awesome driving weather, love my SS but yes there are some issues with finish, paint, plastics, glue on hood, engine pads falling off, i do like by new carbon fiber roll bars
I have been thinking about it. I have taken all the painted parts apart several times. I just can't bring myself to lay that first piece of sandpaper on it. I kind of want Polaris to fix the parts on mine that are real bad first.
Looked over some new SLs at the dealer and the edges were all smooth like they had been cleaned up before painting. The first one they got was a little unfinished.
I gotta agree w/Otter.I can forgive snowmobile or off-road QC. Polaris experiences with the Victory and Indian motorcycles should have prepared them for a higher level of QC expectation. Great concept with features not available on similar, even more over-priced products like the T-rex or Morgan. At its current pricing, the QC certainly seems to be lacking. At any pricing level, I can't forgive the safety issues. Having a vehicle die when making a left turn across traffic isn't good. Even worse would be having a vehicle unexpectedly surge forward! If the over-revving issue hasn't been fixed by the time I get a call from my dealer saying the Texas DMV no longer has its head in a dark hole, I don't know what I will do.
