Sounds like they covered all the issues.

BlackSummit · Apr 3, 2008

That was great that you found these and let us all know.
Thanks

Well that makes me feel like my '08 is a pile of junk. I was really happy with it until I read that. Those of you getting '09's are going to be really really happy! Oh well I guess I should of waited a year. I wonder how much BRP will soak a guy for those clutching updates?

whitefish · Apr 3, 2008

That' great. Here's my interpretation of that. "Buy an new '09 sled now. We fixed everything and your '08 is worthless."

summitboy · Apr 3, 2008

Ski-Doo is the worst company ever ! Never again !

skibreeze · Apr 3, 2008

If it's all true, the guys getting the 09's should be tickled pink. I wonder if they will update the 08's at all.

Bulletins

I know im a rookie at this snowest thing. This is my first ski-doo summit 146x i absolutley loved the sled best ive ridden, My hand warmers went, driveshaft, blew belts but it was still the most fun. Im glad brp fixed the promblems at least they addressed them. All the warranty work on my always got done fast and i was happy. Everyone that bought one new they would be a ginny pig buying a brand new model. It would be awsome if they could change the 08s but im not gonna ***** 2 much. Great Sled

....yah, we know, from your other 267 post saying roughly the same thing. Go enjoy another brand. I am here to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed my 154x. Was it flawless? No. Did I expect it to be, being a first year sled? No. Did I feel like I was screwed over? No.

.....So please, Summitboy, if you do not have anything constructive to add, don't post.

AMEN to that ACE

The only thing I haven't addressed on that list is the bushings & rollers. Hopefully Doo wiil pay for those in the fall. If not I'll cough up the $50 or so to get the new ones in. They paid for everything else on there. Anybody know the deal with the chaincase bolts blowing out? Is there a fix for it on the 08's?

Says: TRA sliding bushing and roller
New bushing and roller materials significantly increase the life of those parts

I don't understand the rational behind a 43/47 helix.....maybe a typo as I think a 43/37 would be more applicable to a mountain sled. Seems to me Slim has great success with a 44/33.....

I found one bolt striped after the dealer change the gearing. I simply screwed in an imperial bolt, I think it was 1/4" NC? Anyway it made it's own threads quit easily into the magnesium.

Hope it's true this time. Anyone remember the post on DooTalk last spring regarding the issues with the proto's..."For the most part we anticipated these problems and they will be fixed for 2008".
This is 2 years in a row-good sled with way too many issues & note there is no discussion about fixes to the 08's. Wonder what will happen to those 07's blowing engines next year?

I feel like the biggest issues they had last year were the cranks going out, which they addressed, and the clutching, which was allot better this year than last year. Still not right, but better than it was. The good news is there admitting they had problems, and there taking care of them. I had all the issues fixed on there dime this year. The only thing I didn't see in there, was the guage fixture. I've had problems with that thing resetting all year on me.

Thanks for posting that info from doo talk. I am pumped to get my 09 now!!!

they replaced my gauges for free!!! just b*tch a bit.

summitboy · Apr 4, 2008

Chubbydog,

There will be an update for sure on the gauge software. They had a lot of issues with that instrument all winter. The engineers have said they will issue the update and all will be fixed. I have been told, things like the fuel indicator, temp indicator, resetting of the gauge have all been addressed.

Its just to bad you have to run around in circles between your dealer and BRP to get anything done.
