    BRP isn't the only Quebec business looking at dismal numbers.  There are lots of motels, restaurants, relais, and a hundred other businesses that have had a terrible winter.  The area around Quebec City had nothing to speak of for snow.  Things was the first time in 25 years I haven't sledded in the Gaspe.  Trailered to the Quality Inn Matane then on the ferry was it.  Sledded 5 days in Baie Comeau, Forestville, Mont Valin area, first time ever to measure snow depth in inches instead of feet.  Pretty well every business we stopped at said thanks for coming, and appreciated our business, they all said numbers were terrible.  

    And yet 3 guys die in an avalanche there in late March. Still blows my mind. Hasn’t even been a week yet. I feel so bad for their families and the guy that made it out. I hope they all find peace in time.

    I remember reading a year or more ago about someone else with the upside down shocks on a new sled. If I remember correctly when he contacted the dealership they told him to bring it in and they would correct the issue. I remember thinking at the time that it was a pretty shabby miss on the PDI.

    Not quite as shabby as leaving a critical bolt not tightly fastened that could end up with serious injury or death

    There is no designation Chris,up or down, both ways are correct..And had it been MONTREAL SMOKED on rye,I would have nailed it on the first guess..😉

    looking and thinking about this more I gotta call bullshit on this blackjack1 and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Just because it will fit either way dosnt mean its right. Two things are obvious. The small warning sticker on the shock is upside down and more importantly you dont have the two surfaces where the piston arm goes into the shock body and the crimp around the two part shock body facing up where water and snirt can lay and collect on whatever seals are there. I'd bet my lunch money that BRP would say absolutely only one way it goes on.

    Besides the up/down issue I found this last night and just about shit my bibs. It's extremely unnerving that a dealership would let something like this out the door. Imagine the bolt coming out and the shock dropping and suck you right into the woods or worse.

  4. So I go on a road trip this past Saturday to Pa. to pick up a new sled . F*ck it life is short.

    23 left over Enduro 900R which I got an absolute screaming deal on.  Was not at dealers long as I warned them ahead of time I would not want to be hanging around nor needed any kind of dog/pony show about the snowmobile. As it turned out I was there almost an hour as the place was mobbed at 1:30 pm.

    Fast forward to 7 pm back at my house and celebrating the new arrival and notice the back bogey wheel caps are missing. Thinking to myself...."cant believe i didnt notice that before I feft the dealer". Then I notice one Pilot TX carbide is all the way down and one was all the way up. I chuckled to myself...."that would be an interesting ride" as I walked back to the house to get another beer. 

    Now for the last 4 days I have had the sled on my nice little open place single wide trailer sitting right inside the garage near our door that goes into the house. Yes, i have spent countless hours since drooling and dreaming. At 4 a.m. this morning it finally hit me.... now to be fair I DID NOTICE THIS the first night home but thought BRP made a change and surely it must be better... right ??

    This morning i'm still in utter disbelief. Below is a picture of the sled at the dealership shop they sent me the day before I went down to pick it up. To make things more ironic the machine has been sitting in their showroom for a year and not one customer or employee noticed.

    I wont name the dealership out of respect......BWAH...........

    What is majorly wrong with this sled ????
