Refresh:
July 1st I was cruising home on day 8 of my 8 day trip. 127 miles from home my RPM's suddenly hit the rev limiter. No longer under power although I can hear it downshifting.
Get it to my preferred shop on July 7th. Last week they were waiting to hear back from BRP as to what route to go.The pulley and output shaft were fine.
So yesterday afternoon the Service manager calls. Tells me that BRP has a new gearbox on the way. (he was actually surprised that there was one in stock). The motor is out of the bike right now. Once the new gearbox arrives and he removes the old one from the motor he will have a better idea of exactly what happened. He believes that it is the clutch pack. Looks like the money I spent on the BEST Warranty is about to pay for it's self and then some.
I'm on a 15 day trip starting tomorrow. So it will be mid August before I get it back. Service Manager says that he will send some pictures . I'll attempt to post them on the road (my eyes don't like forums on my phone).
Anyway, if ever there is a case to support the purchase of the BEST warranty here it is.
