Can you elaborate more on his new heat fix? Or, please advise what he's doing after you get more information.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sorry
That's all I've got, unfortunately. Since I have a 2011, I did not go into detail with them on the fix. I was semi seriously thinking of trading my 2011 and when I was asking them about the heating issues, this is the information they gave me. I then decided to get the extended for my 2011 and bide my time to see how the 2014's perform.

Well my current situation has not changed, dealer won't help and BRP wont call back. Last trip to the dealer netted me the hottest temp on the gas cap yet and it was only 74 degrees out that morning! (153 degrees on a plastic cap) I did a long ride this past sunday and had to stop about 60 miles in and place a towel over the front of the seat to keep the heat off of my nuts! They was a roasting.... now later that evening when it got cool that heat was kinda nice but not so much when it was 85 out. I rode about 220 miles to another dealer to see if they have seen any issues with the heat, their response was kinda beating around the bush, like they have but don't want to talk about it??? He kept changing the subject and avoiding my questions, weird....

phone call
i just got off the phone with steve from brp. according to the buds report he received from my dealer my bike is running hot, lol i knew that. he also told me that the report shows i am shifting at the right rpm's and running the bike in the right rpm range, but he said the tec's are working on the problem and they hope to have a solution in the next couple of weeks, just when the holidays are coming and i said i was going to supply the roasted chest nuts

WOW
That was fast. They had my BUDS rpts a week before they got yours. Just got off the ph with BRP Steve who told me basically the same thing he told you...nojoke Steve said the BRP Techs were analyzing several Buds rpts to find the issues...JOHN IT'S NOT US.....:cheers:
It's to sad that the dealer techs can't read the BUDS rpts...
Wait a couple weeks and it will be so wet and cold that I won't be able to ride...talk about timing :dontknow:
It would be nice if BRP came up with a fix...ray:

new-new update
i just called the dealer about hearing from brp. he told me the canister was melted and one is on order so no bike until it comes in being the bike is all apart so now it is just a waiting game to get the bike back. i was really starting to think i was going nuts with everyone not having problems saying the people with problems have the poor me's and we were cry babies, so believe it or not i feel a lil better knowing they did find a problem and that i was not loosing it

persistent
i was only persistent because i have a health problem with my feet due to diabetes and i can not have my foot burnt because diabetics don't heal well, if the problem with my feet didn't exist i might of just learned to live with the heat problem. but being my brother in law lost toes due to a burn and he was a worst diabetic than i am i said i will not lose body parts and put my health at risk over a bike that i bought because of not being able to ride two wheels anymore. so lucky for me and us, that i did have concerns and i pushed the issue to the point where i am getting something done. i just hope they find a fix for us 13 owners and we can ride till our hearts are happy again.

So if it is running hot is it running too lean or is there a problem with the cooling system?Just my thoughts.

don't know
i get really bad gas millage but i don't know what is going on with brp and what they are thinking. as long as they can come up with a fix that's all that really matters. when a friend of mine looked at the muffler the other day he thought the bike was running rich by the black in the rear baffles. i just hope a fix is soon found

I'm curious about the whole "running lean/running rich" issue as well...
John,
If you're talking with BRP about it; ask them:
If the bike is running lean, and heats up...
Does it then go to some sort of enrichening mode, to add fuel to cool the combustion chamber?
Lousy fuel mileage could also be the purge valve (I think...) :shocked:

well
there has to be a good reason for everything that is going on. so i guess if they can see what rpm's that i am shifting at and what rpm's i am cruising at than they can see everything the bike is doing and try to find a fix. i just hope they can't see that every tine i ride i stop at a donuts shop or a pastrami sandwich i eat because that can really be embarrassing

with all the codes the spyders throw, you'd think that it would throw one for a bad purge valve, wouldn't you?:dontknow:

There may be Hope
This is unbelievable.
At 0730 this morning I got a ph call from.....wait for it......Yves Leduc, Vice President General Manager North America Division.
He was responding to a customer survey, "Share Your Story". He said he would make things right and he would be contacting Steve for follow ups.
Maybe we are making progress...:dontknow:

It can't throw a purge valve code if there's nothing speaking to the computers about it's operation.pps:

Can any of our canadien friends tell us what that means when it's said north of the border?
