Don't have any of the three sleds back yet to even touch.Just curious, have you now added the grip and rip or any other brand of front end strengthening?

This is from Tog TodayChristopher, you definitely picked the wrong time to have sleds in shop. Last week was epic. If I knew how to post pictures I would depress you with them. Best snow I've rode in a few years.
Apparently the part they can't get hold of is the Left Front Spindle.[/COLOR]
One way or the other we WILL have a sled for you Chris.So whos gonna lend me a sled for my avy course this weekend? haha
I completely disagree with the politically correct response of not fully blaming BRP. Nonsense. a arms should bend first, period. I would be raising the roof demanding a better response if i owned one, which i nearly did. companies respond to people that are unhappy with their products, not people who fold like a delicate little flower and dont speak up. i dont know many people that would be ok with their $14.000 sled being worth pennies on the resale market because of an engineering F*ck up that was never fixed. I sure as heck would not buy a used 2017 850 doo unless there was an update.
I also believe it is total insanity to rebuild the sled with the same junk parts, without any updates. again, demanding more would likely lead to an updated unit. so every time you take a good hit it costs you 5 g's and your season, thats a good deal?
It is not just 4 sleds!Ive been bouncing back and forth between snowest, Dootalk, snow and mud, BCR, reading the forums and worried sick about what a huge piece of crap I bought, and didnt even want to ride it anymore,
Then I realised the same people are posting across these forums are the same people,
So 1 or 2 smashed bulkeheads now look like
4,
4 belt blowers look like 8,
Now take the guys that dont have a Gen4.. my buddy was at the dealer and saw 4 bulkheads broken, buddys on his 10th belt, heard of a cracked cylinder ect. THAT amplifies the worry I have
exponentially!
Now we have non Gen4 owners spouting how angry they are and how this is bull**** BRP has to do something!!!!!!
Really What the **** is going on here??
Fake News!?!?
I have 200 miles of pissed off abusive miles on mine
Barrell rolled, pounded into tree's, full throttle down the trail without letting off forever...
Guess what?
I have brake dust!!!
And scratches!!!
So "IMO" for now
My sled is great!
We will know what kind of "real" issue's we have soon
But I would guess at a production casting issue-->
For the bulkheads.
And user and dealer error on the belt issue's..
I asked my friend what RPM
His gen4 was running on the trail----> shoulder shrug!!!!!!
What clutching changes for low elevation....
Should ****ing shrug!!!!!!
Sorry for the rant!
It is not just 4 sleds!
My dealer admitted they have a few broken bulkheads(or modules, what ever they are called), this is the same dealer that did not admit to the 08's blowing belts.
The G4 is not a pile of crap waiting to explode but the bulkhead will break easier than the rest of the mountain sleds. There needs to be a 'fix' to make these more durable to the masses.
I was very close to buying a G4, i am very excited with the direction BRP is going.
I walked away from Doo back in March of 2006 because of the weak Rev, first and only sled i have totalled in my 25yrs of riding sleds.
I will not buy a Doo till they prove to me that they have built a durable chassis, i had hoped this G4 was the sled to bring me back, sadly it is not.
Maybe next year, if they narrow the boards and strengthen the bulkhead?
(And get rid of "T-motion")

G4s are worth only pennies on the resale market? I wish! I'd buy another one. Don't hit rocks and you'll be fine. If you're a likely rock hitter, don't get a Doo. If you're really worried about it, install GnR braces and Alt Impact a-arms. That would run you about $750, plus wrenching time. Funny how the extreme indignation is coming from guys who don't own G4s. Mine has been flawless so far. And it rips.
