The engine has no oil pressure at idle after warming from a short ride. If left idling for a few minutes it really rattles as same as lifter noise. Kevin at Cowtown, has replaced oil pumps, etc. and still the same. I do not ride the bike hard, shift at the suggested rpms, etc. BRP tecs have been called and they are stumped also. They are willing to replace the engine as they want to see what has happened.

I guess you had mentioned this in some other threads other than Decisions, Decisions. Since its in the hands of Cowtown, you apparantly have a good dealer working on it. It will be interesting to hear what they find though.

With Cowtown- I would trust them and the BRP Techs that want to find the problem would do a Very Good job for you BUT at some dealers I would take the New Vehicle and RUN FAST!!!

It's a dang shame that this has happened; Rotax normally builds some pretty stout engines... :shocked:
You've got the best in the business on it, so the Best of Luck to you! :thumbup:

Bad news at the front end but hey! Getting a brand new engine can't be all bad! No one makes a perfect product. Rotax is one of the most reliable engines on the market but even they have failures. The thing that is important is that they are standing behind it, as they should.

Sorry for the problem but very happy for you and your new to be engine! Way to go BRP! :yes:
