Brand New 2022 RT Limited with Issues !!!

[blacklightning]

Well just got off the phone with BRP, They are going to investigate this dealer "Mark's Motorsports of Connecticut". They also told me to take it to my local dealer, which I had already planned on doing anyway. We will see what comes next.

I think that is the best bet for you. Just keep in mind that the local dealership is not the bad guy in this situation. I know that sometimes when someone is done wrong by a company or dealership, they will go in very defensive and take it out on the next (it is very tempting). But go in with a positive attitude that they will help you get the issue fixed, and believe that it will be a pleasant experience. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Great, good luck in dealing with the new dealer. Be sure and check the bike out top to bottom to see if there are any other issues that you may not have noticed. A couple other common issues are the rear trunk lid won't easily stay open on it's own and the side storage latches may be hard to operate.

Having just bought my own 2022 RTL a week ago, (with no problems observed after 200 miles - knock on wood), I am keenly interested in the outcome of your visit to the local dealer and if they were able to satisfy you.

Hi,
I had to adjust my spring tension on the Frunk release and it opens fine now. The Velcro discs are never going to remain in place. I have replaced mine with heavy duty ones and when the adhesive gets hot from the engine heat they just come loose. I finally siliconed them and installed little black flat head screws in the centers of the velcro and waited 1 days to cure. The liner now stays in place. The heated grips may be related to the switch plug not being connected all the way. Just carefully pop the switch out and pull up carefully and you may see the connecter ai loose.
Happy trails!
Wes

I read you checked the tires, but didn’t see where you checked psi. On my first trip off the trailer I had a fair amount of wobbling, initially attributing it to 2 wheel experience and gripping too tightly. Long story short the I had 3 different tire pressures that varied by 10 psi. Corrected them and bike has driven hands free, a wobble/shake free since. May or may not help, but worth checking…

Suggest, as some others said, go see local dealer and find a way to walk in with a fresh slate. Neither they or BRP put you in this position, but you’re quite confident the product is great and they can help you out. Sounds like BRP is already on board. Have fun!

Sorry to hear about your problems.
I have the exact issues with my brand new F3s. Tires out of round and frunk won't pop open. I had the dealer test drive it 2 weeks ago, and they confirmed the vibration and said to leave it with them and they would get to it between regular appointments (ie weeks in shop) so I declined at the time, until I read your post. I just brought it back to them. Hopefully I'll have it back in a couple of weeks. I also confirmed tires were out of round, but you can't tell a dealership anything. By the way I know a little about Machinery, since I've been in the field for 40 years plus turning wrenches on just about everything.

This thread was started in 2022, so I hope the OP has got his ride straighten out!! As for the rest of you helpful guy's, I wish you the best, the tires that come on these bikes are LESS than good, and have to be balanced, if not they will wobble, and the front ends need to be aligned! Good luck!!!

Mine were balanced, but if the tire is out of round no amount of wheel weights will cure that. My tires have no tale tell visual wearing issues from balance or alignment. I'd be happy if they just put a set of Kenda's on, as long as they were round. I know they're not very good, but I haven't experienced any problems with them except being out of round. Planned on replacing them of course with a decent car tire when the time came.

If I were you and wanted to solve your problem, I would look into putting a set of car tires on, it's easy for the front, you just take them off and head to most any tire shop, and tell them what you want, or go online to Tire rack and order a set and then find a shop to break them down and balance them, take them home and put them on.

Replacing my front tires with Quatracs was one of the best things I have done to my F3L, worth every penny I spent on them... World of difference!

It's Mark's Motorsports in Enfield Connecticut.

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say as you know MARKS SUCKS! He ripped me off twice, but I didn't notice it 'til the second time. I took my bike there twice for the 28k service and on the second one I checked the receipt and noticed they didn't change the HCM filter, so I went back and checked the 1st receipt, and found the same thing. I questioned it and Mark said 'Oh, my service guy must have mistaken it for a manual shift'. So the bike had 56k without an HCM filter change. He said, 'just pay for the filter and I will throw it in, it will only take a few minutes' 'DUH', I said, 'you'd have to drain the oil again!'

HE DID SELL THE SHOP. I HOPE HE DIDN'T TRAIN THE NEW OWNER!

When I got my 2022, I went to PROGRESSIVE MOTOR SPORTS IN NY. Great service, no problems at all with the bike.

In regards to the front compartment opening issue, on page 35 of owners manual(f3) for 2022, it states to push in and turn and while pushing down on key, open front compartment lid. If the latch/striker is adjusted just right and lubed, then in some cases it will open without holding key down.. My experience anyhow...
