Their labor rate is $110/hr. Glad I took the 4th year warranty instead of $250 in parts and accessories. Cost me $53 out of pocket for the deductible. I'll never not take the most warranty available. It's just not worth it to get parts or accessories instead of extra coverage. Jesus, the fuckin thing come uncunted or what? The doo mechanic up in land o lakes WI told Preston and Steve that he would never buy an 800 etec. Said the 850s have been much better.

Jesus. ahhhh no Kids sled (my Renegade XRS 800 that I rode the past 3 seasons) had an issue with the mag side injector. Caused it to lean out and took out the mag side. They replaced the short block, injector, reeds and some other odds and ends. Cost me $ 53 out of pocket When Analreceiver's goes down, then what will he be saying.

Maybe ride it some more and don’t use ethanol fuel and you wouldn’t have had a sticky injector 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the places we get fuel from sell rec fuel. They didn't say anything about a sticky injector but it was replaced. So that would tell me that it is what that failed and caused the issue. How it failed tho They send everything back to BRP and they look into that. Same thing that happens when we get an axle return from a dealer. The dealer doesn't look at it they send it back here and they have people who tear them down 100% and see what happened.

teamgreen02 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Over $5k for an engine is insane. Factory long block 6000 from Cat is $2k and 8000 is $3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
