Polaris's EFI systems seems to be working well so far, I hope it continues. It is true that the EFI systems was junk on their sleds. This is where it can get tricky, because EFI problems don't show up right away, it can take a few years before anyone knows they are junk. That is why Polairs stoped putting it in their sleds.

Well I've been in water past my the top of my racks and don't think that I wont do it again and take a picture just to prove you wrong. I've had my EFI "wet" many times, in some VERY deep water. I have NEVER I mean NEVER had any problems with my 700, thats EFI or anything else on the bike. It has over 1700 and has never seen a shop. If you would like I will go as far to give you my VIN number and have you call Polaris with my information and you can ask them if I have had any warranty work done. Thanks for your time, and if you want to test me on any of that please just let me know![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

"I've got facts, not something I heard from somebody"
I agree with you.......the polaris EFI systems seems to work very good. I hate it when someone says......"I have a friend of a friend who rides with a guy who's uncle's friend said they are trash"..... as far as I remember, that does not constitute as facts. I have seen a 700efi go through water and mud up to the top of the tank and never stall or have any problems. Just like I have said before.........IF YOU BASH, YOU MUST BE TRASH. I have even rode the 700efi and it is a great machine with smooth ride, smooth power response from the efi.

OK....since you are the expert authority, if next summer there are not a lot of people complaining about the EFI, are you going to come back and say you were wrong?????? I doubt it!

well, if they are testers and engineers, what is "THEIR" problem that they can't seem to perfect this design they are complaining about? If they are the ones designing, testing, and assembling these machines, they should know what they are doing, right? They should see what the problems are and have the resources and knowledge to correct the problems, right? Are they not concerned about customer satisfaction? Obviously not if they are the ones who are doing the ground work on the machines in the first place.

Just some food for thought.

they have to make deadlines to sometimes some places want to rush something new onto the market to get alot of sales and if there isn't alot of complaints on them next summer (after the warranties run off which is when the stuff starts breaking) i will go onto the polaris forum and give an apology to the whole polaris community

Im sure they will get the kinks worked out eventually, but cat has always been the leader in the efi field. When this thing comes out it has to be flawless, because unlike the limp mode fiasco, if you efi goes on you 20 miles out, you cant even limp it back to the truck.
Polaris hasn't used EFI in sleds since about 1995 due to Arctic Cat patent lawsuit against them. I always heard they were reliable.
