Omg I just remembered a tidbit of belt information discovered by me that did actually save Brp possibly over 100k in false warranty claims. You won't believe it but this is how it all went down early in 2017.

My friend blew 25 belts on his 850. I will call him 25 belt.
So 25 belt is on belt 16 and he is frustrated.
I want to help my friend 25 belt.
I immediately commence a Kanedog belt investigation.
The evidence shows that the 850 belt has a distinctive wear pattern that is very different from the xm wear pattern.
I show the two different wear patterns to 25 belt.
At that time there were many unscrupulous unnamed 850 owners claiming tons of their friends blown xm belts as 850 warranty. They were then selling these new belts for profit.
25 belt tells the 850 belt identification info to local dealer.
Local dealer happens to be with head Brp engineer the very next day.
Dealer shows brp head cheese how to tell a blown 850 belt from a blown xm belt. Head cheese is smiling and full of joy as denying warranty is reason for celebration of course!
A few day later, out goes a worldwide Brp bulletin on how to tell a fake belt warranty claim. .
Yes, idiot Kanedog with help from 25 belt and dealer were responsible for that bulletin. Im sure someone will claim it as their idea but whatever, I know how it went down.
So to make a long story longer, I am also one of the first non brp humans to inadvertently notice the wobble blunder while trying to solve the pdrive riddle. During that adventure, I named the clutch "wobble clutch" and it has stuck ever since. True story. Laff all you want. It happened. I named that bish. Kanedog is now cemented in sledding history. Yep. Coincidentally, myself and a sled shop discovered this within 3 hours of each other. We both posted our findings. I posted a video of the sheave on a lathe and magically, the next day Brp posts a fake patent application for a crooked wheel invention. I believe it was fake as the idea is so stupid that it wouldn't make it past the patent office front door. The idea is that dumb.
Anyway, it is my belief that Kanedog has been involved 3 MAJOR events/things at Brp and I would also like say Hi to Brp social media monitoring team. Hi Team! Happy Easter!
So moving on, I have got 850 clutch temps below 200 degrees easily with Brp genuine clutch parts. But I will wait until the 2019 production runs are done and things can't be changed until I show the clutch video phenomenon.

Your friend is soft in the head if he put 25 belts on one machine expecting something different to happen after every install. As for your usual dribble of BS. (850 owners claiming tons of their friends blown xm belts as 850 warranty. They were then selling these new belts for profit.) Ya because THAT would be a lucrative venture! haha! XM's have been the most bullet proof machines out there including belt life. Yet there are ( tons and tons of them failing by your numbers)! laughable! You being the narcissist that you are, makes it seem normal to you what you post on these threads. Maybe up the meds a bit. I know I know you're the type that needs his ego stroked on a regular basis just to feel good about himself posting some truly unique material.....However I don't think you give the majority of people on Snow and Mud enough credit for how they truly see through your bull****. Most people are too polite to call you out and just roll with it. As for your stories, please continue to produce them. If nothing else, they are good entertainment. I for one have enjoyed them!

This is bit off topic but I have a friend that is being denied warranty on his harness replacement on his G4.

Can you help us finding where BRPcares posted it's was to be one of the warrantied items.
Thanks

We'll deal with the attitude ourselves.

Would love someone to post a link of this worldwide bulletin from BRP? I can't find it on Bossweb?

It was the first I heard of the TSB as well. Lol

 

[skegpro]

Are you doing 60 mph on hard pack. ? I never do over 70km on the trail with my 3" track sleds.

I fail to see why 60mph down trail would hurt a 3" track.......
Way more load on it climbing......

Heat build up in a track will break down bonding.

It may not exist that is why I was asking - thought the harness was part of the fixes with gearing, motor mounts and belt exchange.
Maybe not.
Friend got charged $1400for harness change.....pulled motor?

I'll dig deeper.

 

[Caper11]

Wasnt that harness a recall? My buddies got replaced but I cant remember if it was a recall or a warranty claim.

 

[snopro]

The harness updates were for readjusting them as some of the tie points were to tight and there was pressure on connections because they never had left enough slack in the wire so stuff was breaking prematurely. They weren't replacing the whole harness on the campaign.

I read through the warranty guideline sheet for skidoo and was surprised to see harnesses are not viewed as a warrantable item. Also shocked that they now view shocks as a wear item now. Things have changed since 2009 when I was a dealer.

I spent quite a bit of time searching through the Bossweb Community and can't find even a conversation about it or a service blog. I'm thinking Fake News.
