today he says "once it got hot it wouldn't go above 50mph, failing between 6000 and 6400 rpms" said he checked fuel pressure last time and it passed. now he thinks it may be the stator and says it sounds like a electrical failure.. says he was gonna pull the flywheel off today and inspect.. sounds like he is just throwing **** at a wall to see what sticks. still no codes thrown.

ha,just noticed your name ibreaksleds,makes me wonder if that has anything to do with it,ha.575 miles sled probably wasn't broken in correct,crucial break in period on sleds,you might have premature internal damage.but your symptoms sound all to familar with me,i and countless others got the shaft from brp!!!

lmfao yeah blame it on not breaking in a sled with built in a break in mode . there is a tall glass of lemonade to guzzle .
the computer is still my bet . fix it get it back return do it as often as u can . don't have them test then u don't have the documented fails at fixing the pile. just for grins ask them what trade in is on that under warranty gem

i just called. they replaced the stator and are going to test drive it.said ill get a call back later today. if i was in the same state as my sled i would test it myself. being as I'm flying across country to ride it i would like to know its fixed before i arrive pack it up and drive to the u.p. i didn't talk to the tech this time but must have been a bad stator if they changed it. hopefully that was it?? I'm so nervous, i just wanna crank

was trying to make joke about is id name ibreaksleds get it,if the computer is suppose to control everything and you're sayin swap computer,well then how do you know if it worked right in the first place,it's a real bummer though on a sled with that kind of mileage,worse than what i went through
yeah I got the joke . if u swap comp with a good one and sled works done deal.

yea it failed the test drive. they said yes it has a burn on the stator so there is a short and they changed it but that didn't fix my problem.. ***..they say we have to wait so they can call brp monday to see what to do next cause they dont know whats wrong with it but they know its broken..

no offer from the dealer.. and called brp customer service. they are aware of all the service cases open on my sled. the best the guy could do is put in a request for me to speak to a sr. representative
told me they will email me or the dealer would contact me but they dont know when..they asked what are my expectations are, i told them i would like a replacement sled or if they will pay off my current loan and take it on a trade. I've owned it since nov 2015, put 1000 down and made all my payments on a machine i can't ride.

I AGREE! but we will see if they stand behind their machines. and yes i have a 3 yr warranty but that is getting eaten up in the shop. really when does brp say we dont wanna dump any more money into this sled and cut their losses and give me a working unit, to keep a customer happy. and what kind of damage is happening to the engine every time they tear it apart or when they continue to reproduce the problem after failed fixes.. the struggle is real.

put a borescope in the fuel tank and see if the regulator is coming out of the pump .bulletin #2015-17 if so you''ll need a bracket #415130050 to hold it in better

my self I would have 1 of my lawyer buds draft something up and send it to brp. they will push joe blow around all day. they know it is going to start costing them real money when the lawyers get involved with lemon law stuff there lawyer cost your lawyers costs after they loose.

Thats a waste of time haha, just find a capable dealer/mechanic and it is easily diagnosed. This reallllllly likely is a fuel issue. Just sayin.

not if the pile has had 3 major issues that can not be resolved . fits the lemon law bill and they know it a lot less hassle to give him a new sled than have to deal with the fall out of turd for the next few yrs till it is settled .
I personally know of 1 guy who got a sled from a by back deal. also 1 guy I ride with bought a sled from a guy who got a sled from a by back deal and he sold it with 0 mi on it because he was over that brand . they gave him a new holdover of the same yr he had owned

u really think 2 dealers are both incompetent ? they all have at least 1 decent guy and if BRP is already involved with a ongoing issue the corporate regional service manager has already visited the sled .
