A QUESTION

[oldguyinTX]

What have folks been paying for the 14K maintenance, including valve check/adjustment on a 2013 RT? And, any idea what part of the labor charge for this is removal and re-installation of the tupperware? The reason I ask, is that I am having the 14K maintenance done while my RT is in for the recall, and I would like to get and idea of how much this will cost me since BRP is paying for the removal & re-installation of the Tupperware as part of the recall. Any info would be really appreciated.

I am one of those that do not recommend the valve check portion of the service. If you do, add $600 to $800 extra. Labor intensive because of the hours.

My experience: 2008--did it at 12K (recommended at the time). $800 extra--no adjustments needed.

2010: did it at 28K--no adjustments needed. $800 extra. Mechanic failed to replace the gasket. Started leaking oil. They had to re-do the job. That was on their dime.

The new 2014 (1330) do not require valve check maintenance. The consensus is that the valve check on the pre 2014's was a CYA thing for BRP. Have not seen any posts saying valves really needed to be adjusted at 14K.

I am going to wait until at least 50K to do anything on the 2011--if I still have it at that time. Coming up on 20K now and still purring like a kitten.

It's your call and most of all, your money.

As part of my "set screw" warranty repair I decided to have the valves checked. No adjustment was needed. I had already done the oil change and spark plugs/wires. But they flushed the brake fuild and radiator fluid.

Cost was $800.

They said had I not done the other stuff, it would have been $1K.
