factory, just came from the dealer. showed me the bulletin
Hmmm.
Wonder if the rivet is into the pipe or just the heat shield.
Drill the rivet to remove the sensor retainer.... good thing those dont need service often !

Pretty hoaky to me. Would have thought Doo could have done better.
I think I'll stick with my copper high temp silicone fix. Been working great nice a tight for the past several rides. Where it was loose or all the way out after 2 so.

Checked mine after the first two rides and just tonight 300 miles and its still tight.

Looks like it will do the job and personally I have never had to replace one of these sensors so not sure why you would think it's "hoaky". Some people you just can't please...
The rivets are only through the heat shield.
I agree, good thing those pipe sensors are fairly reliable...
Thanks Ski Doo for addressing this problem quickly. Only a couple more fixes to go!
Can the sensor be tightened through the side panel?
Was just working on clutches and forgot to look...

x2...How much clearance is there between the bottom of the rivet and the pipe?

Let's start with rivets in the heat Sheilds that will vibrate loose, which could cause cracks in the shield. Could... and end up with a loose sensor again...
Next it looks as if you need to drill the rivets out every time you need to take the sensor out. Which for 99% not a bid deal. But myself and I know I'm not alone, pretty crappy.
Don't get me wrong I'm glad they fixed it, just was expecting a bit more is all.

Exactly... :face-icon-small-dis

no need to pull hood:face-icon-small-fro
No need to take the sensor out of the pipe. just unplug the connector and remove leaving sensor in the pipe.
Or use nutserts, small cap screw and a bit of loctite?

Was hoping it would be a different fix that didn't involve the shield. After the season I was planning on having my pipe get chromex'ed and get rid of the shield all together.
