Got my recall notice in the mail last night. Called Bow Cycle south today, they don't have the parts to do the recall yet and can't tell me when they will be able to do it. Wouldn't even let me book time a week or two ahead. Supposedly its a 7 hour job, and their mechanics haven't even done one yet, which alarms me when I read that the recall is 2 weeks old or something. At this rate it'll be next November by the time they've got all the XM's fixed.

The bow cycle guy I talked to says he knows of two sleds its happened to now, both were electric starts... he figured my pull start would be okay if I just make sure I don't hit any trees. As for the insurance companies bailing, what is the plucking point of insurance? I guess if they won't cover a burned down sled, hellllloooo class action suit against skidoo. You'd think a few clips/rubber pads would be easy to obtain so they could fix this problem a little quicker.

7 hours? Your being sarcastic right? The repair for a manual start is .4 hour. They should be able to rip through 15 a day. Just sayn....

Yup bingo!! That's scary...7 hours...it's a simple job and once they had done a few a bet thy will have it down to a half hour per sled

Called them back, talked to someone else in service... bing bang boom I'm booked in for this Friday, they'll have parts in on Thursday. Easy.

This is the second time I've been told something outrageous by someone at bow cycle over the phone this year, last time it was clickering down and reeds blowing up during trail riding... anyways, problem solved and I'm much happier.

Makes a big difference talking to a tech as opposed to a sales guy or the receptionist. Lol.

Just a little far to commute to No Limits young fellow.

BTW, my dealer is just fine......"best little shop on the prairies!"

I haven't arranged anything yet but let me grab the phone and find out!

 

[ferniesnow]

Parts at my dealer aren't available until early next week they are hoping

I'd better park it and not ride but then again, I haven't got the letter yet!

So I don't have to park it, nor quit riding, and the insurance will still be good. Oh ya'......I don't have insurance!

well we cant choose who answers the phone so its kinda tuff,,, get me the franchise and I will open up in cowtown

exactly..... cant even get a strait answer from anyone,, most peeps work there for 6 months and gone pooof

because of the BRP service in calgary I almost bought a POO just cause of the dealer glad I didnt but now I have 3 recalls and BRP telling us no to ride our sled until its fixed puts me in a jam.

What are the other two Shawn?

 

[ferniesnow]

I'm riding mine! It was the same thing in 08 with the driveshaft; "don't ride it take to your dealer immediately"! We all remember how long it took to fix those babies!

 

[ferniesnow]

I/m not really concerned as I don't go over the bars banging my knee on the panels.

When I go over the bars, it is usually.........way over the bars and no body parts touch the panels, bars, or anything.

 

[JoHNI_T]

What are the other two Shawn?

I saw a bulletin today that said all recall parts with the exception of locking screws are in stock and enroute to all dealers. The screws will be sent around Jan 31st but can be substituted with the old screws and blue loctite. Only a few more sleeps peeps.
