Y! pipe gasket replaced - what a difference

[Dick Wells]

A quick test ride by a Cowtown tech, and I'm told that the "Y" gasket is leaking. A short hour later, and the RS is both quieter and smoother.:thumbup: Seems to me that the thing has been that way since I picked it up last July with only 683 miles on it! I had suspected that my byke was louder, mechanically than others, but had no experience with other Spyders, until today. Just shows what can be learned by just talking with the right people. There's a BIG difference in BRP dealerships, people. Been well worth ducking tornados just to be here and meet the folks at C T.:2thumbs:nojoke

I wonder if they used the Honda Gaskets as they are thicker and will last a lot longer than BRPs.:dontknow:

Honda does work a lot better...had mine changed out before the originals were fried...amazing how damaged they were...not much life ('live' for you Wyliec :shocked left on them...

This is a good change to make...

Dealers can only use OEM parts for replacements under warrenty. Otherwise they cannot get reimbursed from BRP. You gotta spend your own dime to have the Honda ones put in.
