In my previous posts I have had issues with heat and noise. The heat issue was a real problem as it was almost not rideable with the heat on the left side. I took it into the dealer to check it out and got the usual response, it is normal and if no plastic has melted they will not address it. This despite the melted rubber from my boots stuck to the clutch cover. Great customer service
My solution to the problem is to wear fire and heat resistant long johns under my pants. I now hardly notice the heat when riding slow. I do find it hard to believe that on a $15k ATV BRP would not deal with it.
I also have the wa..wa..wa.. noise coming from the rear diff. When I took it to the dealer for that issue I was told that it was normal and the demo on their lot makes the same noise. The rear diff whine is really annoying above 25kph . I keep thinking that the rear end will fail at anytime. I guess I just expected more . I have owned 7 other ATV in my life and have put over 60k kilometers on them, I have never had anything close to this noise. The support from BRP and its dealer has been horrible.
I have run Redline shockproof in my Harley for years and it really made the transmission quite and shift great. Has anyone run this in the front and rear diffs on the Can Am ? Wondering if it would help with the noise.
Like many others on this forum the whine from the belt is always present, the good news is it gets drowned out by the rear diff noise above 25kph !! I will change the belt soon and put a Gates belt in and see if it helps
If I was to do it over I would have bought another Grizzly and saved about $4k here in Canada. I really did expect more from what BRP claims is a "Premium" atv. This has just been my actual experience so far.
