I know theres probably a thousand threads about this , but what does everyone think about SBT's standard engine quality? I spoke with a local powersports shop that works mostly on Doos and Kawi's and he said he only offers SBT as a cheap alternative to him rebuilding it himself. He said that he hasnt seen a single SBT block last more than 2 seasons of heavy use. He claims its how they weld and mill the cranks.
I mean , they advertise that they have a patented crank restoration process , so something doesn't make sense to me.
I have a 787 Carb'd coming from them Tuesday , and im trying to figure out if i should keep the ski until the warranty ends, or just keep it indefinitly.
I am usually really meticulous about my maintenance, checking all cables, looking at oil injector lines, blasting the water out of the exhaust when im done riding, Heck, i even fog my cylinders when im done , just to keep em perfect. I also run amsoil interceptor and 89 octane (as a happy medium).
So i guess what i am asking is how many hours do you guys have on your SBT blocks? and what kind of maintenance do you do on em.
