Question: did they come out with some upgraded clutch parts? :dontknow:
-
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.

I really think can am dropped the ball on the shifting issue. Any other bike you buy has in the book where the shifting points are. I have read the book from front to back and no where does it tell you about shifting points. And I also give the dealer hell because they did not tell me either. I learned it here.

I agree. Mine, being a '11 model was ridden rather modestly for a year until BRP came out last year with the news we SE owners have been potentially causing clutch wear by letting the transmission downshift when it wants to...and it did lug down quite a bit...and still does ...unless you manually shift it down. I've learned to do this and always shifted up above the 4K mark; however, you can bet your butt that BRP won't accept any responsibility for clutch wear due to their lack of info. I've begun to get a little slippage when I shift to second.
Someone reported it cost them $900 for the rebuild.

There are new clutch packs for both the SE and SM. A different oil jet, an additional plate and disc, and steel plates instead of alloy.

Thanks! :thumbup: it's too bad that we just have to wait for a failure in order to get the new parts. :shocked:

Seems like putting it into trailer mode, at least for the newbies, would be a good trainer. It won't let you shift until a certain speed. I sometimes drive it in TL, especially coming down a mountain, even without a trailer.
