Had my axle sliding block break today while riding. Broke the one on the drive belt side. Anyone else experience this.

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.

Starting to really hate this thing. Motor blew up at 3500 miles now this at 4900 miles. Not to mention I had to replace the wiring harness this winter due to mouse damage. I think I might sell it after it is fixed. I've had it since August 12th of last year. Baught it as a new leftover 2015. Been in the shop now twice for mechanical failure and once for the harness. I've installed the blue ridge windshield, dual mode backrest, and saddlebags. I picked up a Shark Audio 1400watt sound system for it too. So lets say I really love it at some point.

I'm guessing that the axle nut came loose or was left loose after the motor install. I doubt they had to loosen it when they put the harness it.

Not sounding like a Can-Am sales rep but that can happen to any machine. I had a brake caliper fall (Suzuki Intruder) off and dangle by the hydraulic line while I was riding. Did you notice a lose belt or the throttle felt different as you rode. Sometimes machines will tell you there is a problem if you listen to its language. You wanting to sell it is spot on with my opinion, I'll only deal with horsesh*t only so far, so I understand. My thoughts.

Axle sliding block. Me too
Owning a F3-S MY2015 (about 10.000 km now). Had exactly the same issue yesterday too. I had my last maintenance done 4 weeks ago and the dealer says the Axle nut was tightened to the right specs. (225 Nm +/- 15 Nm).
Same question I have. Is this just a part manufacturing error, weakness in the part or design concept failure? Do the sliding blocks take part of holding the axle on it's place during driving and not only the axle by the axle hex nut itself ? With other words, are the sliding blocks only there for adjustment and setting the right belt tension or is there also additional tension being put on them caused by engine torque (during driving)?
