Control pod

[can-am sam]

The control pod on the left side is loose on my RT. The bolts are tight. Any solutions would be appreciated.:bowdown:

Do you happen to have a copy of this "quality service bulletin" you could share? Are the three parts very expensive? I'm just out of warranty and may want to perform this fix if it isn't too expensive.

I no longer have the bulletin #.
However the parts prices are as follows.
709401040 $23.99
250000494 $2.39
219800212 $19.19

Labor per factory time guide .4 hour

I would have your dealer contact BRP about performing service outside of warranty.

Thanks for the parts list. At Spyderfest the BRP Reps told me I needed the repair but my dealer didn't know and wasn't able to get the details on the bulletin. I'll send them the parts list.

The Dealer can pull the bulletin # and info from their BRP Dealer connection with very little effort.

Is it a fairly simple install? Do you need only one or four of the Part # 250000494 Screw-Socket HD.DIN.912 S.Grip? For $45 not hardly worth taking the RT to the dealer (mileage) if I can do it myself.

 

[kyspyder]

You will need 1 of each part # and yes it is a relatively simple R & R (see .4 suggested labor in DLTG)

Orrrr.... There's the other way to fix it:
Pop the bolts out of it and lay a wrap of electrical tape around the bars.
Bolt it back together and no more wiggle!

I thought I saw someone else post they tried that and the "fix" didn't last long.
