[NoBrakes!]

Yep go see the Backus shop

 

[LUCKY 7]

I just got a quote from the Golden shop and was blown away at how high the price was.

They are predicting shortages of sleds this year so I'm expecting dealers will be trying to make some profit on what they get allotted to keep the doors open

To buy or for service???

Backus be OK to buy, but service well ummmmm , not so sure on anymore

Alot of not great stuff I have heard over the last few years

Bdm in Vernon, heard very good stuff and looking after a guy

Interesting. I did not buy my sled from Backus but they have gone above and beyond every time I call them from the parking lot with an issue. Parts guy has waited 30 min past close to keep me going. Son blew a rear shock and they pulled one off a spare skid to save the weekend and a few other similar issues.

friends quick drive piled up once real bad and they waited late for us to drive from Frisby

A little further away but I got the best pricing for the last 2 RZRs I bought at Spectra in Williams Lake. Both times just took detailed pics of trades and did the deals over phone and email. They even met me in Kelowna with the last one but they did have another delivery as well.

Not bashing, but last time my sled was at Backus, the clutch was on so tight, I bent the good puller trying to remove it. Had over 250FtLbs trying to get her to pop. SHe pops for me with never a fuss, except when it comes back from them. I put on to 75FtLbs personally. I'm sure they just hit it with an impact. Which is a nono. Also had a bit of a run around for warranty, because I didn't take it to them for "service and inspection" No, I upkeep my sleds to a much higher level of tolerance than factory. But because they had to "take my word" for it that visual inspections were done at 500 and 1000Km.... Cost me extra couple hundred so they could "service the sled" to warranty my worn engine mounts

I dunno about the impact on the crank. Those boys have won the Baja 1000 I think they know how to wrench properly haha

There not working in the shop


Guy they had a few years ago, great guy but had no idea what's what, and kind of threw him under the bus

OK not kind of, did throw him under the bus

Made HIM PAY, for his mistakes and he didn't know better

 

[bobsledder]

My Polaris friends in Sicamous drive right on by Bakus on their way to BDM in Vernon. There are good reasons for that.

That's not who works on your sled

 

[briguy99]

Outlaw Motorsports in Kamloops !!

And I know when a damn clutch is impacted on. You really think the lowly warranty tech is the one that works on Tylers racing rigs??? Now that's a funny one.

 

[snopro]

Knowing Everett for a number of years I'm pretty sure if he saw a tech using an impact on a clutch the tech would be exiting the shop on the end of his boot but then I'm not sure how much he hangs around the business anymore.

All I'm saying is my clutch was on so tight that over 250FtLbs on the puller would not pop it, in fact it bent the puller. Water trick had to be used. When I torque my clutches to spec, they pop off nice with the puller like they are supposed to. And the clutch was pulled off the next day after coming back from the dealer. Not even ridden....... Never in my 40 years of sledding and working on sleds have I seen a clutch that has been supposedly put on by a professional, that effing tight...
