Long story – first ride with the new Turbo RZR yesterday. Cruising around everything is going great. Get to Oldsmobile hill and floor it to see how it does. Starts great, lots if power, climbing good. Just past half way and the engine stops. I little annoyed I try to restart and nothing. So I roll down to the bottom. I’m thinking a wire must have come loose. Can’t find anything out of place. By now a couple people have come over to see what’s up. We go through everything anyone can think of and nothing. Cranks but won’t start. No error codes displayed, nothing. This is a huge weekend here for Polaris, the manufacturer of the RZR. This is the kickoff of this Turbo model. A guy with a rail offers to tow me back to CampRZR where I get the engineers that designed the thing are. It’s a little after 6:00pm and there not setup yet. The event is the next day but they start to look at it. Plug in a laptop, everything is looking fine. After a out an hour they think is the flywheel key, connects the flywheel to the crankshaft. They don’t have any but if I can get one they will fix it. Remember the car is brand new with 30 miles on it. So ileave it with them overnight. Back at camp I go through 3 day supply of beer in about 3 hours. Next morning I get a call from the service guys. They took the engine apart the night before and found the problem is a broke camshaft, serious problem. He tells me it needs a new engine. Head is about to explode, the beer probably added to that. Next he says they took the parts out of another RZR they had and think it will be able to run well enough to get me through the weekend. It will be ready in 2 hours. Now I can’t believe this will work but I go down there. The RZR is back together and running perfect. It should last the weekend fine but needs to be replaced. I take it out and it’s working perfectly. I’ll take it into the shop on Monday for the warranty work. It should go smoothly, the factory already has the ticket open and approved for the dealer. Can’t believe how lucky I got. Captain Slow rides again. Go Polaris, I don’t think any other manufacturer would provide that kind of service!
