Is this before or after the fuel line recall? I believe they have the tank unbolted.

 

[Vipertonytro]

Sorry re-read first post.

 

[young-gun]

Not impressed. Awesome sled! But this piddly crap has to stop!

 

[snopro]

Thats not good. Will have to check mine out. You would think the fix would be foolproof unless the dealer did the repair wrong?

 

[Vipertonytro]

I will be checking mine before heading out to Sicamous Thursday. Had Riverside do recall and have 300k since with no sign of oil leak but will definitely be looking a little closer.

 

[young-gun]

i am unsure if dealer issue or recall. only 70k since recall. my entire engine compartment is dripping with oil. any case it had better be resolved by friday, as i don't want to cancel another trip cause of this sled.

Was the recall supposed to move the oil tank away from the gas tank. I am just not sure what it was intended to accomplish. Need some info???

This is going to be interesting. I just picked up 2 sleds on Thursday with recalls done at 2 different shops and haven't gone riding yet.Not sure if I want to!! One sled has about 3/32 gap and the other has1/16. I read what was to be done as a recall?????? not sure what that was supposed to do to the oil tank? I have no problem with the dealers as they are doing exactly as they have been instructed to do. I will see if I can get a decent picture of ours to show.

Going to send a pic VIA circled mistake. But by golly I was able to jam a 3/32 welding rod in there so it should be good. Yaaa RIGHT!! I hope that someone pulls through for you young gun (To do the right thing )

So the fix for dumping gas out of the sled is to dump oil out?

 

[Circled-Mistake]

Heres the pic of the clearances between the oil tank and Jackshaft....... Bernoff used a 3/32" rod to gauge the clearance (you can see the rod sticking in the gap between the tank and shaft).... Apparently this will end up being issue #2....

Looks llike the BAND-AID fix may have made the situation better in the case of the fuel line, now we just have to worry about a less flammable liquid flying around our engine compartment......

At least if u caught it the fuel would just evaporate and leave no mess, now Young-Gun's got oil all over the place.....



So I agree with Young-Gun... CHECK YOUR SLEDS PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This pic is Bernoffs sled... Mine has less clearance (about 1/16") looks like my trip is toast too.. Sux to say that Ive had my sled for 4+months now and barely have gotten over the 150km mark....
I'll be writing BRP a letter, Mark My Words!!!

It is crappy I'll admit. I still haven't done the recall on mine and I am still riding it. Just texted my dealer about this and sent him that first pic. Could be worse at least there's no $3000 heli bill

Cold have been if he hadnt gone flat-landing this weekend.... We were on our way ti Sicamus this coming weekend..... Then there would have definately been a heli ride, either to recover sled or recover remnants of a sled....

Hope we dont have to cancel trip...
