New Problem w Sprocket and Extended Warranty

[Freddy]

Given that THAT bolt's purpose to provide the clamping force between the shaft flange and the sprocket (not just stop it falling off) so that the spline does not transmit rotary movement, as stated, then if there is no movement between spline and hub, due to adequate clamping force, surely neither steel or aluminium would fail as there would be no relative movement. I agree that an ali pulley should have a steel hub for longevity but a slightly loose steel hub has a short life, as we can see.

As BRP concedes, there is a settling in period after which the bolt must be retorqued - perhaps after the damage has started. Any relative movement will damage the pulley and/or spline I believe. Let's hope they all get checked then rechecked periodically and maybe fit a new bolt every second or third retorque.

A slightly loose bolt combined with the original belt tension equates to short like expectancy and probable bolt breakage, which we have seen. Lower belt tension with slightly loose bolt equates to slightly longer time to failure, I believe.

Sounds like they have taken a chapter from the medical insurance industry. Deny claim, wait for you to squawk, deny claim, wait for more squawking... It's a waiting game, they are waiting for you to give up. I love a good fight.

According to Carlo at BRP if this was under BRP warranty this would be covered. I guess what I am saying/asking is make sure that you get the BRP warranty and not a third party warranty or you could end up like me.


Interesting!! I have the BRP warranty and Carlo would not warrantee the same sprocket problem that I had....had to pay for my own repairs. There should be one criteria as to what is covered and what is not by the BRP extended warranty!!!

They BRP made exceptions for some people.
Right now I'm trying to get back the money i paid to replace an ECM and a spark plug wire. BRP says i was over the warranty, But I'm still under the
emission warranty. I didn't know it at the time [BRP and or the dealer should have known] so i paid for the repairs.

Third party warrenty to be profitable is to deny all claims ... they take your money and run. That's why no one buys them.

I wish I had known about Spyderlovers before I bought my Spyder! I would have learned about the BRP extended warranty and demanded it rather than the one sold by the dealer. I knew I wanted an extended warranty since the Spyder was new to the market and the extended warranty on other items has saved me quite a few times.

Dealer made more money on the 3rd party than they did on the BRP warranty.

It was about profit and not customer service. I'd ask the dealer what they are going to do about getting the warranty, that you purchased based on their recommendation, to actually cover you.
