So I was thinking a week or so ago, maybe Polaris, since they are communicating with us now on a weekly or so basis, would maybe answer some direct questions from us, if posed in a polite and professional manner. I know we have all bitched and complained at some point, or points, along this 5 month or so ride to try and obtain one of these unbelievably cool new rides. Most us early disciples of the House of Sling, have felt what everybody who has been waiting feels about waiting for the SS or the missed delivery promises, whomever they have been made by. It sucks, plain and simple.
That being said I was hoping that we could start a new thread where owners can pose questions to Polaris about common, widespread concerns/ questions that seem to spread from Coast to Coast. In my opinion, the thread should be kept clear of Flaming or Rants about Polaris. If somebody wants to start a WHERE'S MY DAMN SLINGSHOT!!?? thread then go right ahead, but I think this new thread should be kept respectful, professional, polite and maybe even cordial. I know that's how I like to be spoken to and I respond in kind. What's happened in the past has happened and none of us can change it. We all have to move forward and figure this stuff out and I'm hoping that we can open up a meaningful line of communication with Polaris.
Mr. Polaris, I've said since almost the day I joined this forum that it would be great if a representative from the company could talk with us. It really would go far in boosting your dedicated SlingShot purchaser's confidence. You have opened up some communication with us and I truly appreciate it but really, it's kinda been soft, underhand stuff your pitching us. I'm hoping to start a common issue thread, about what many of us are experiencing. Such as the high RPM spikes, the low RPM drops, the whine, etc.
According to what most here say, including myself, when you contact Customer Service with questions, many times you get referred to your dealer. As many of us know, a lot of dealers don't know the answers to the questions either. I was thinking of having a list of particular issues, and owners could post a short question about whatever issue they were talking about or checked off. I wouldn't expect anything like an immediate answer from Polaris but after it was run through their legal team maybe we could get answers to questions like the ones I posted above.
Simply stuff like; will the rev spikes and drops be remedied by an ECM flash and do you have an approximate date for the fix? Is the whine caused by the belt or drive train? Is it normal? If not, are you working on a fix? etc. If i get enough agrees to this post I'll work on trying to get something put together. It's worth a shot, No?
