kind of lurking arnt ya!? that's like going to the axys forum and trying to take a poll on which brand has broken A arms

Lurking?
I'm very interested in this motor.
The bulk head thing is very concerning to me.
I almost ordered one. I would have added a boost-it turbo.
I'm very glad I didn't order one at this point.

just giving ya some crap sorry.........

Cooll

just giving ya some crap sorry.........

No problem.
I just think the bulk head is built a little to light.
I hope BRP makes it a little stronger or reformerces the inside. That's all.
I think the sled is a great platform.
Just has a few first year sled problems that can easily be updated or fix by BRP.

That's good news.

So any ETA on getting all 3 sleds back at this point or are they waiting on more parts to come in?

Sled #1 will be done this week
Sled #2 next week
Sled #3 is waiting on a replacement spindle which BRP is showing as being on BackOrder. I am trying to track that item down myself
Part #505074130 for my son Chris' sled.

 

[christopher]

And your insurance is fine with that?

Saves them a ton of cash.

Give him your shocks......Then you get an upgrade.

All three of my sleds are at Rexburg Motor Sports.
The parts for the first sled arrived end of last week.
I will check with them for an update tomorrow and let everyone know.

Hopefully they did not do some of the damage or "enhance" existing damage with their forklift. The way they handled my Axys, they smashed the lower plastic belly into the quick drive belt and pulley and really scratched up the rear skid drop brackets. That would put pressure right on the chaincase I would guess. I got a great deal on my sled, but that did not leave a good impression. Hope you are riding again soon.

To my eyes that is plain and simply cheap brittle cast. Agreed taking it quite well and we all know the consequences of Early season riding but I've been working with metal of all forms for nearly 35 years and again what I clearly see is cheap brittle cast and for a bulkhead is simply too darn thin. There's point to everything in which you have to draw a line between light weight and or reliability.

I was thinking the same thing, sorry about your luck Christopher.

It has been MY experience that Rexburg Motor Sports is a GREAT dealership to work with, and their service department has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING for me since 2008 when I first started going there.

Its all part of the game we call Sledding.

For me, I just CAN'T WAIT to get my sleds back and get out there on some of this AMAZING SNOW.

I made a couple mistakes, paid the price for the education, and am ready to ROCK N ROLL with 3 great sleds once again!

 

[Solarguy]

Great attitude!! I'm buying you and the boys a beer, drink or two in Tog.
Thanks again for all you do on this forum.

Swing by the Polaris dealer......
Its good to have a backup plan......

I managed to straighten the area below the chaincase. Luckily no damage to the chain case itself.

Back in the day... I didn't have to worry about a cracked module... on my 1970 Doo Elan 250 E... Heck I don't think that that 13hp piston-ported monster even had a "module" !!

Parlez-vous français?

Enjoy !!

Yeah, they sure don't build them like they used to.

PICTURE

Those are a Super Olympique (16HP), Olympique (12HP) towing a Ski Boose and an Alpine! Those were the good old days.
Now today we have machines with: 10 times the Horsepower, the sled is twice as long, costs 20 times as much, weighs twice as much, uses the same amount of gas, Goes through snow five times as deep (except for the twin track Alpine), is 10 times more reliable, has five times the suspension travel, is safer to ride, has better lighting, premixes the oil and gas for you and has less than half the emissions.
And we still bitch!
Really!

 

[AMAX]

Back then you opened up the garage, rode to the edge of town and found enough terrain and snow to get the rush of finding the machine's limitations. Now its a 2 - 20 hour drive with $70,000.00 worth of truck and trailer.

 

[rulonjj]

Yeah, they sure don't build them like they used to.

I'm sure glad they don't.

 

[Mountain_Man]

I'm sure glad they don't.

Me too, otherwise I would be doing something else for winter sports.
