On my dealer's website w/ no price & "not available" , so making some progress
I would believe there is an issue with this saw and they are working problems out before a full release. Beta testing.Amazing that 9 months ago this saw was to come out, and STILL nothing. What kind of company cannot advance a product here in the USA, that is readily available in Europe?
Well, I wasn't going to buy one anyways, so no skin off my nose.

Bad bearings, fuel mapping off, cranks failing, bad ignition modules, plastic breaking, etc. They have not run them long term yet.Like what? There are 500i owners on this site that haven't said anything negative about the saw.
I heard a rumour today that they had bad cranks...
It's new, got to be junk! I'll stop.

I'm surprised about the polymer failing? That material they use is almost bulletproof.
Keep your old saws boys!
They just can't seem to make them like they used to. Idkw???
FWIW the dealer told me that it had to do with the UL listing. Evidently they made it past the EPA testing and “realized” that they hadn’t safety tested with a bar longer than 24”. So they went back to the drawing board to get it safety tested up to 36”. Who knows. Something seems strange, but this year what can you expect?Like what?

The saws were out in Canada. They failed. They became gone.
we're still waiting.
What are the specifics? Somebody had to have put some hours on their saw enough to know something. My curiosity is piqued!The saws were out in Canada. They failed. They became gone.
