Mostly just an fyi. A bit annoying since we already know the outcome but gotta jump thru the hoops I guess.

Sent an email to BRPCare about my roasted right foot and the very strong fuel smells once things were warmed up good.

3 weeks, no response.

Sent another email with further data and reproduced symptoms. When I was down taking my drive test, I was afraid the gas fumes were going to get me kicked off the course as 'unsafe'!

Also forwarded email to service manager at my local shop.

Got next day response from both that they were communicating. Since I was due for service anyway, I brought it in.

Less than a week later: Service done. Test ride done. Noted no overheating of the engine (which was not my complaint obviously!) but did see a rich condition which has led them to warranty order; carbon canister, purge valve & heat shield.

sigh.

We won't up here see 80 degree days again until next July, so the condition may go away..... for now. Oh well. Guess I'm back to doing my own anti-heat mods as previously planned
