I got it installed!!!!!
Remote Limiter Strap Adjuster Installation
- Thread starter Shortline
- Start date
I wish this was more like the ARC controller where it could be done while riding by using your left thumb instead of the middle of the bar. I wonder for the guys that have installed it, do you think the mount could be changed to more like the ARC? See pic for reference:

Honestly the cheaper version that mounts on the tunnel is super easy and fast. The bar mount version is cool as hell but if your looking to save a few bucks the tunnel one is quick and easy.
Install help please!
I could use a little help if you've successfully installed the bar-mount remote limiter strap. My install went pretty well (2-4 position), just time consuming. With no strap (or with the rear suspension mechanically compressed), I was able to adjust the cable to have the crank/cam make contact with the upper stopper when the dial is turned to short. Under a regular load, the crank will not make contact with the upper stopper. It seems that tension on the new strap is preventing it from fully rotating.
Any ideas?

Check what hole the stock strap is in ,it will tell you in the instructions. I have my 3 to 5 and stock strap is in position 3.
Triple checked. Stock strap is in hole 2 (from the factory). New strap is in the loosest position, hole 1, as per instructions. Still seems like there is to much tension on the new strap preventing it from fully rotating. Checked front track shock preload and track tension also.
There's got to be something I'm overlooking.

I'm trying to install the limiter strap. I'm confused about the spacers provided. When I remove the stock one and put the two privided ones on, there's a gap and the bare shaft is showing? Is that right?
Yes, that is where the new strap loops around. The space keeps it in place.
I still can't get my strap to make contact with the upper stopper in the "short" position. BRP customer service is a joke. You should see the email thread from them (or their call center in India).

I think the rubber strap provided in kit is too short.
I installed the kit about a month ago. Yes, it was about a three hour job and there are some steps left out of the instructions to get the hardware for the lower part of the strap on the cross member bolt. I did not have a gap on that bolt. The instructions weren't clear on what parts or spacers to use but it wasn't too hard to figure out. They do include some parts for sleds other than the summit that you don't use. I used a heat gun on low to warm up the strap. This made it more pliable to bend it and get the bolt in that secures the strap. It seams to be a well designed accessory but time will tell how durable it is.

I'm wondering if you are expecting the limiter to change position on the shop floor. It won't, unless you compress the suspension.
The way the remoter limiter system is designed is such that if, for example...
1) you are in the long position
2) you rotate the bar lever to the short position
3) the mechanism at the top of the new strap will
not have enough power to lift the suspension
and rotate to the short position
4) instead, rotating the lever causes the spring
cartridge that is in-line with cable system to
"load up" and store energy.
5) when the suspension is compressed during
riding the strap will become unloaded and the
stored energy in the spring cartridge will cause
the mechanism to rotate.
You should be able to simulate the above by putting something under the front or your skid and compressing the suspension to unload the strap.
I know that while riding I plan to use a "bump" to change my limiter settings.
I hope I understood what you were saying and didn't insult you with the above explanation. If so, maybe someone else will find it useful.

Yes, thanks. That makes sense. I'll try the simulation you suggested. However, it does seem like there is a lot of strain on the rotating arm in the meantime. I would think you'd do a number on the whole mechanism if stress was applied to the "shortened" strap before it was fully seated.
Doesn't the adjuster strap go in a differant set of holes for 2 - 4 and 3-5?
S
I agree, it does seem like there is a lot of strain. I'm of the same opinion as others here that maybe the new strap isn't quite the proper length. I'm going to ride it a few time, let everything settle in and then determine if I need to do some re-engineering.

Yes

Dave, is there anyway you can reach out to your friends at Doo and inquire about the above issue with the new strap not allowing the cam to seat properly. Their online CS has nothing more to offer than "see your dealer". Thanks.

I couldn’t agree more. I do think the strap provided in the kit is too short. It need to be about 1/2” longer.

PLEASE HELP I’m having issues with the install. It seems the cable isn’t long enough to fit in the knob? Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance
H
Hey I’m curious why my cable length doesn’t allow the cable to fit in the knob? Any help is greatly appreciated
