About 700 miles into the trip I noticed a hotspot on my pipe where the paint has burned off. Not too happy about that. Guess I'll be making some phone calls in the morning. Anyone else have that?

It seems like just about everyone is getting the "hot spot" on their exhaust after putting on some mileage. Not only limited to 40 something women's..."hot flash"

Please let us know how the phone call goes on the hot spot. That's rather annoying. At any rate, I'm glad you got your tryke :a18:

The good news is BRP saw this post and they contacted me. :bigthumbsup:

It may be the first of the year before they can work something out. In the meantime I'll keep paint on it. ::)

Check out the Can-Am talk forum. There is a lengthy thread there about this issue.

Another person blew paint off in the car wash. He took all the paint off and buffed it up. All shiny and not bad looking that way either.
