After starting the bike would stall randomly at idle while warming up
Throttle response is extremely choppy while riding
Bike would stall at times for no apparent reason
Tried different brands of fuel
Tried keeping (a new bike) on a battery tender to address the struggling startup - no difference
The starting button doesn't act like other, older starting buttons (holding it down keeps the starter engaged) - it seems to kick off a starting routine
Is this a symptom of the key-less starting of the higher end models?
Dealer replaced the TMAP Sensor
Was in the shop 4 weeks
No change with the fuel/engine mapping problems
Was told it takes up to 2500 miles for the bike to break in (??)
Was told this type of starting and engine failing is within Polaris specifications
See the Starting Fails above
Speedometer
The speedometer needle fell off at about 1500 miles
Dealer replaced
Was in the shop 1 week
The new needle bounces at all speeds
Neutral Fail
After getting the bike back from the speedo fix, the random stalling while riding increased
At times the bike would not be in neutral when going out to start it
I watched the bike go from N to '--' after turning on the ignition
After starting the bike, it would pop out of N into '--' and the engine would cut out
Shifting to N became a dangerous endeavor
Dealer Replaced the Gear Position Sensor
Was in the shop 5 weeks
Continuing Issues
All the starting and fueling issues persist
Polaris offered a 5 year extended warranty on the FTR
The Dealer took the bike back on 16 Nov. 2023
Parts were on back order until the end of 2023
Polaris and the Dealer appear to have communication problems
