two current service bulletins
While stopping to discuss getting a QUICK oil change they ran my VIN# for my 2016 F3L and came up with two active service bulletins.
1. One was related to increasing throttle friction pull???
2. The other was an inspection of a fuse box for damage related to a cooling fan failure. I was told if I failed that inspection I would not be able to take the bike home until it is fixed.
I'm not sure if I am relaying this info correctly? I wasn't happy about taking a taxi home is I failed an inspection.
Does anyone know the facts about these bulletins?

Did they print off the TSBs for you? If so could you scan and post them.

Good to know....
Have seen a post about throttle issue but not the fan failure. Bulletins seldom come to light and just get done quietly... guess too much whoop la and they become recalls... would be nice to find out what needs to done seeing as they can't do it right away...

I remember a thread awhile back that had a link to Can-Am's website where they post bulletins - and where owners can check their own VIN against applicable recalls, etc. Do you remember?

The VIN lookup function on the BRP web site is for safety recalls.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

They don't list service bulletins for the general public, then?

Throttle
I have a 2016 RT Special Series. I recently visited my dealer for a small issue. When I went to pick up my bike, they told me that my bike had a recall for something to do with the tension on my throttle. They ordered the new throttle, now I have to make an appointment to get it installed. They said about 30 mins. I'm on vacation next week, so I will get it done then, however, I will be going there at lunch today to set up the service. I will ask a few questions about the details of the recall. It may be the same issue you have. I will keep you posted.

That would also be a Service Bulletin, if it were a recall you would be notified by mail.

I had heard that the 2016 F3T had a throttle body recall/issue and I told my friend about it since she has that year, make and model. When she checked with the dealer they told her they never heard of any issues

I took my 2015 RTS in for a tire change and they have whole list of parts ordered for this throttle issue. I'm not too happy if it makes the twist harder.

The other is to put more spring tension on the throttle return. I don't want more tension and they made note I declined that service bulletin.
I'll ask for a print out of the service bulletin

Throttle and throttle body are 2 different things. Could it be you got it confused.

I think some attorney stated in court that the reason his client's Spyder ran into the back of the police car wasn't because he was legally drunk, but the accident was caused by a weak throttle return spring. And so starts the service bulletin.

The service person told me that the throttle return needed more tension. I have an appointment to have a new throttle installed on Tuesday.
