snowmaster2112 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 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 ???? smclelan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Sharp looking sled Chris. As for the upside down shocks, I am sure at some point next winter there will be a spot right after a sharp corner they will be turned the other way!

GSX800 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Damn, I like chicken. I wish I was online last night…noticed it right away. Easy fix. I believe the only shock that is supposed to be mounted like that is the Motion Control shocks. I to picked up a leftover 23 Enduro 900r at the beginning of the season. Had a 20 Enduro 900T with quite a few extras on it. Wanted the 23 so I could reuse most of it. Just a heads up the carbides are not the same as the ones on your 1200. The TX ski takes a longer carbide. Enjoy the new ride. You’re going to love it. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

doonali Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Maybe it's the angle of the picture but the rear skid does not look correct to me as mentioned before. I'd go through that machine with a fine toothed comb prior to departure. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
