 ANTENNA
Does anyone know the part number and cost for the BRP short antenna?
I believe these came out with the 2016 models. I just shapped mine off and do not want to replace it with the long one that it came with.
Update,
I found it on Cheapcycleparts.
Antenna - 710005084 for $57.99

I will be checking that out for sure. Good thing I don't listen to the radio so I have time to find a cheap fix. To bad BRP doesn't sale the little cover for the hole as I would than just plug it.

They are not bad ................... these just are a little shorter and get very good reception. And look good.

I know the one I have is a pain when getting the covers on and off the bike

You have a short (compared to older models) antenna, the original is about twice as long

Seriously: I DO have a reception problem, and am wondering if it's worth spending $25, to see if a new antenna might solve it.
If and when you get a new (shorty) antenna DON'T use any locktite on it. Had to cut off my wife's antenna to get a socket onto it to get it out. Was locked in there tight!.
(her bike has always had a reception problem) Cleaned out a crap load of blue locktite from the threads. Screwed in a Walmart shorty in without any locktite and took it for a ride, it had to have doubled the reception distance for her.
Now ordering one of the Spyderpops antennas to see if it increases distance even more.
-
When my bike was in for servicing last Month: I had the technician remove the antenna, and remove all of the Loc-Tite...
I had hoped that this would make a difference... It did: but it was a minor difference...
In the past: the entire unit has been pulled, and all of the connections checked, and re-checked.
We're now down to just two possibilities:
A bad antenna
A bad receiver
