    Their remanufactured engines are complete JUNK! First engine failed after roughly 10 minutes of riding and thats being generous. It was under warranty so they sent a replacement, it was 90% broke in and started running bad so upon inspection found the head gasket was leaking! It wasnt under warranty anymore so I called SBT just to let them know their product is garbage and I would be posting about their poor quality products on ******** groups Im part of. Junk garbage product stay far away fromSBT

    We are sorry that ****************** has been having issues with our engines installed in his ski.  We pulled the files on his case:
    - ********************** purchased and engine with a 1-year no-fault warranty that was sent out 11/08/2022.
    - The *** core we received had a totaled crank from the bearings being spun.
    - On 09/05/2023 a warranty was called in due to hard start/stall.  On 10/13/23 a follow up call stated cylinders 2 & 3 had low compression.
    When we received the motor on 10/31/2023, the head gasket showed overheat and blow-through between 2 and 3.  The crank also had spun bearings (same as when the original *** core came in).
    - SBT replaced the motor under our No-Fault warranty, sending a replacement remanufactured engine 11/15/2023.
    - On 07/08/2024, ****************** texted us with concerns about his engine.  We called him to try to find out more, he acknowledged he was 8 months out of warranty and wasnt looking for anything except to tell everyone on the forums and groups his displeasure with us and to file a  BB complaint.  ************************ reached out to ****************** to try to walk through what the issue was to see if was a manufacturing issue or a ski issue.  We are currently waiting on more information.
