Hi folks. I've been evesdropping hjere for some time getting real owner info on a machine I'm interested in. I don't plan on racing, just casual trail, playing, etc. Got some Qs about a specific machine I'm looking at. I'll post in the tech tips section. Hope to avoid redundancy. I tried searches on clutch upgrades and couldn't find adequate info that I need.

Welcome to the site. Asking is the only way to become an informed buyer.

Thanks. I want to wait for a reply from brp direct concerning the clutch. I sent it 24hrs ago, no reply yet. I'll give them a few days, but one thing I'm gathering is brp isn't all that great on customer service, not good. In this day and age, your gonna lose business to people who are good. I see these machines all over so cal for $3-4 thousand off, one of the big reasons it got my interest.

If you're mechanically inclined, I would not worry about the dealers. Alot of us can walk you through just about everything. I know on my 08, BRP would not supply the cover with the hole in it. Had to send it to BCS. Everything else they did no questions asked.

You may have to call to get the info you need.

Just remember...BRP (Canada) is on summer shutdown for another week or so! I heard from our local Can-Am rep that any questions from Canada will generally be waiting till everyone is back from vacation!
