I just took my mag cover of this afternoon on the ltx I bought last month, everything looks fine, on my xtx with the same mileage everything was toast, so maybe the ltx will be a good one.

2015 ltx se
Original 2015 flash
2 kickbacks at around 800km but no kickbacks since, now have a total of 3100km on original starter. Having the 2 kick backs worried me but 2300km later she's still running, so hopefully starter will still last!

With the ones that didn't vote/more than one sled we're above 90% at this point. Not downplaying it and there definitely is something there. Heck a friend of mine lost his last year, 14 by the way, so I know it sucks when it happens. But I don't think it's all doom and gloom

 

[cannondale27]

Very true. Has comforted me a little. Odd thing is if you were a Supplier to John Deere those numbers would cost you the contract. Yes a Tractor company.

 

[staggs65]

I agree it's not good enough but I do believe the numbers as a whole are probably a lot better. Probably the reason why there hasn't been any addressing of the problem

 

[cannondale27]

They did address it. Hence the 16.5 motor. Different intermediate gear and different supplier. Will fix them when or if they break. I think thats all we are going to get. Its okay since they seem to be fixing any that break,

 

[cannondale27]

One thing I find interesting is plenty of comments of people with 15 flash or 15 sleds and no issues or happier after the flash. I think that flash did really mess with some sleds but many. Probably majority are better off with it.

Poll was a great idea Staggs!
