I had JOE at perks spin balance in Tremonton Utah ,Balance my snowmobile motor while it was in the snowmobile , Perks had the snowmobile for about 19 days! Joe told me it would take 3 days , I went to get it once but would not except in because he had it vibrating so bad ( 95 miles round trip ) , Joe said he would get it balanced right and call me when it was done . Here is perks work after 19 days and all of his excuses !! You decide !! :nono: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjWceKKUixQ

WoW. I commend you on the controlled test you've done , I feel really sorry for those who are in this situation. Absolutely no dispute on the video. This leave me almost speechless and sadden for those scammed.. Joe you were on here promoting your product, You now have a multitude of problems and you should" MAN" up and help these guys out.Hiding in the woodwork will not resolve this.

WOW is right! You can't run that sled like that Sir.
You are being very gracious as I wouldn't of even thought about paying for something like that.
I would be asking to put it back to original .
Thanks for the info and sorry for your experience .

Unbelievable! I sure hope there is a good ending here. What terrible work and service. Excellent job on the video and showing everything in good detail. Unfortunate you had to put all that work into it as well.

Best of luck.

I wonder if they all do this or is this a rare case? I mean there has to be others that have had his work done how are they running?
I guess with the other thread going on about bad balanceing, I think I'm going to leave mine alone. :nono:

Nice job on the video. Couple questions.

1. did you pull the clutch off the crank at any time after you picked it up?
2. Did you start the sled without the clutch to check for balance issues.

Again great job and I just can't imagine how a sled would preform with an extra 500+ grams of rotating weight.

It's to bad because I think the overall process and concept it great, but someone missed the boat entirely on this one.

Man this video makes me sick I just went and bought a 2012 polaris pro because of seeing this guys sled before and after perks balance job. needless to say I thought it might be one of the smoothest sleds i've ever seen for a polaris 800, 2009. and I had the same sled two years prior to now so I know what im talking about, It looks to me as if you put his rotor on backwards, turned the clutch a 180 turn and made the pull cover bolts lose to make it look like it vibrates twice the stock motor vibrations.I call BS on this video i'll have him do my polaris pro 2012 and video before,during and after to prove his work ..... ill post as soon as i can again ..777polaris
