Does anyone know where a person could get a list of times Can Am says a procedure should take? An example would be changing the coolant or putting in fresh brake fluid. I know I saw it somewhere but can't seem to find it now.

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.

Flat rate
Chilton shop manuals used to have listed the flat rate of the time that it supposedly took to Remove and Replace a part. The flat rate. Is listed in hours and tenths. A tenth equals six minutes?

It's 6 minutes for an SAE hour, but only 5 minutes for a Metric hour...
How much for a Whitworth hour? :roflblack:

Being a Brit who as no mechanical skills, never heard of Whitworth. A spanner is a spanner, never understood why they came in all those different sizes. However I had to google..

Glad to hear that there is someone else in the world who wasn't in love with his 441 Victor.

More like a love/hate relationship. I wanted to love it but there were times I just couldn't.

Follow Up on time
Just a followup on what it cost me to have the coolant changed and the brakes flushed and filled. The mechanic flushed the cooling system. Refilled with new antifreeze. Burped the system then took it for a ride and rechecked the level. Left it sit overnight and re-checked for leaks, water pump weep hole and level.
For the brake procedure, he had to dismount front tires and removed the calipers from their mounts. He said the procedure required they be lifted higher than normal. He flushed the old fluid and replaced with new. It took two bottles of fluid. I don't know the size but $6.99 per bottle. He then hooked up BUDS and check that the brake system was putting out the correct pressure. While BUDS was hooked up, he also cleared some miscellaneous codes and made sure it had all the latest updates.
For this, the dealer charged me 6.5 hours of labor at $95 per hour for a total of $617.50. Add another $49.50 for shop supplies and hazmat disposal along with $13.98 for brake fluid and the total cost becomes $680.98. A boy and his toy doesn't come too cheap!!
