Who were the BRP Techs at Spyderfest?

[SpyderAnn01]

We were talking to them at Wildwood Lodge and one of them noticed that the left handlebar switch housing on my RT was loose. He said that there was a fix for it and I should have it done next time I was in for service. My dealer couldn't find any info on it and he called BRP but they couldn't help him. So if anyone knows their names the dealer will call and ask for them. Thanks.

:roflblack: Mine's as tight as I can get it without pulling a muscle... It still wiggles a bit. :gaah: I'm figuring on putting a layer of electrical tape around the bar under it...

Same problem here. If I tighten the screws any tighter I am afraid of breaking something. The module still can be turned.

I had the exact same situation with my 2010 RT-S SE-5 @ Spyderfest. Received the same information from the BRP Tech. There is a QWB issued by BRP concerning this issue and can be retrieved by your Dealer on their B.U.D.S. system (if it is up to date). I contacted my local Dealer when I got home from Spyderfest, and they were able to retrieve the information, ordered the necessary parts, notified me when the parts arrived, scheduled the repairs, and the repairs have been completed under warranty.
I would suggest that you ask your servicing Dealer to check it out with BRP technical support, I saw the bulletin on my Dealer's B.U.D.S. system while they were filling out the service ticket, but I did not get the QWB #, sorry!

The service repair order shows the following part #s were used: 709401040 (1) Handlebars /250000494 (1) Screw-Socket HD. DIN.912 S.Grip/ 219800212 (1) Housing-Switch LS
Labor allowed for repairs 0.4 hours

Hope this helps

Thank you very much I will pass this on to my dealer.

My bike had the same problem my local dealer installed the fix right before SpyderFest. The
fix adds a screw to the front side of the housing to pin it to the bars. If these guys can figure it
out there can't be to much to get the info from BRP.

I neglected to mention that it would have been repaired @ Spyderfest with no problem but they did not have the correct parts.
