Hi,
My Yamaha dealer has had my snowmobile there for almost a month now. This is the third time its been there since buying it on Dec. 30, 2016.
I should have known something wasn't right when the sled I originally wanted, the L-TX DX, was sold right out from under me and they could not get another one they said. Then they said the X-TX SE was the right sled.
Since then, the sled has blown through three belts. After the second one blew, less then two months into owning it with a little over 1,000 miles, I called the dealer and they said bring it in. They replaced the rollers and adjusted the clutches and the next week, the belt blew again.
Upon bringing it back to the dealer, I told them that the adjustment they did, took the top end off the sled. She went from 0 to 80 then... nothing, that was it.
The dealer told me they called their dealer representative and a technician from California was coming out to check the sled because "they can't figure out what's wrong with it - they've done all they can and they don't know why she's ripping through belts like that."
The belts that I have brought in are like nothing I have ever seen - or the service department at the dealer they said. It is sheared down only on one side - the inner side.
The sled also had some scorching inside the right outer panel - they had to replace an exhaust shield, which they said was causing the problems.
The only other issue was a track adjustment bolt snapped inside the adjustor
With all this being said, anyone else having any similar issues? Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
