So with the bike missing, sputtering and always having a dead spot in the throttle. I had enough trying to tune it. One day it just wouldn’t run right. Pulled my PCV a few weeks ago thinking it was my problem. After that is when these problems got worse. Pulled tb cleaned it and tested tps.all was good.. Took to dealer after a check engine code for tps. So the dealer reset tps and erased the codes. Ran fine for 2 days. Then it started doing it again. I then noticed oil leaking everywhere.. on the motor. Pulled dipstick, oil starts pouring out. Smells like gas.. changed oil and filter. Took to dealer. Surely they can’t deny this..
They finally called me today. Basically accused it all being my fault. The exhaust probably burnt up the rings or valves cause it’s running to lean. This is what caused gas into the oil.. my bike does not smoke and they completely ignored the fact gas is seeping out around where intake bolts to front cylinder.
Oh it gets better.
What really pi$$ed me off is they accused me of adjust the idle screw on the side of the tb under the inspection cover. Which I did not do.. u can clearly see someone turned it.. due to the wax marker not lined up.they worked on it last. I know better then touch that.because of this screw being turned , warranty void. BRP says that once this screw is turned the tb has to be replaced. I did not turn the dam thing.
Forget the fact the tps has gone haywire twice and it’s dumping fuel. Cost me $120 to get my bike back… I’m so mad right now..
Not really a new member but haven’t been here in over a year. Just inherited a 2011 850 xp from my step father who passed. It has 256 hours on it and is in pretty good shape. Don’t think he used it much. Anyway it has the oil in the airbox issue and I found on e bay a kit P/N 2204755 for $68 + shipping. Anyone know if this will actually fix the problem? Going to also change all the fluids since I don’t know if it’s ever been done. Can’t wait to get it in the mountains!!
Hi, I’m looking to get brighter bulbs for my 04 predator 500 and was wondering what my options are. Can anyone recommend any kits or specific bulbs that would be brighter than stock? Thanks 🙂
i have been reading the skid plate discussion and wanted to do some research. seems like the can-am skidplate thickness is 3/16 and 1/8 on spots.
i don’t know where the 1/8 thickness is on the plates but that’s not much to go on. probably with the stamping process there is a variation in thickness.
this is just what im reading but i know my ricochet skidplates are beast and they will last the life of the machine.
just like i thought…ricochet are number one!!!:th_smiliethumbsup: imo

Bikebandit has the OEM starter for $336 and aftermarket starters for about $200 less. There is a Quadboss starter for $127.95. Has anyone here had any experience with the after market starters?

Hey all, This is my first post on here. I have a 2003 predator 500. I am replacing the steering stem cause its bent. Is there anything else i should replace when i have it all apart. Bike is stock except for size up jets and K&N. I will be replacing the bars and clamp while im at it as well. Any help would be awesome.
Hi everyone, new here this is my 1st post. I bought a 2001Rancher350 ES off craigslist. It was stuck in 2nd gear and wouldnt shift. After I got it home and fooled around with it i found this out. I couldn’t get it to shift manually so i took off the shift motor thinking there might be something jammed up. With the shift motor out I can manually shift it, also with the shift motor out if I press up or down the motor will work. I put it back together and the same thing wont shift and I can not shift manually. If i put my hand on the shift motor and press up or down I can feel the motor engage. I also took apart the shift motor and cleaned up the inside and put it back together, still wont shift.Kinda like its binding up. Any help Please…. Thanks
