Re: Safety issue
I have two rulers both with over 1k miles and no issues. So far we have not heard any other issues from anyone else. I hope this is a one time occurrence.
Re: Safety issue
The pins are shown in the two illustrations on page 96 of the owner's manual.
In checking my Ryker, I found all three pins on each wheel. All except one appeared to extend past the inboard side of the brake rotor by about 3/8 inch. One appeared to extend about 1/16 inch farther than the others.
It would be good to know from brp what the optimal measurement of pin extension past the rotor should be.

Re: Safety issue
Safety issue update .
I got a call from the dealer today. He said BRP Engineers were in contact with him. He said they wanted him to call me and have me describe what happened .
He said they were very concerned and working diligently to figure it out. I told him I would be bringing my bike in for a Torque check every 500 mi. and he agreed.
At least we know it made it that far up the ladder. He said he would keep me updated as I will you.
The weather is calling for rain the next 10 days here in Michigan . Yuck !!
Have fun and be safe !

Re: Safety issue
I naively contacted BRP Customer Support to see if it could tell me what the proper measurement is for each of the three wheel pins to extend beyond the inboard surface of the brake rotor. With this measurement a person could determine if the pins were working their way out.
The BRP reply: "Thank you for reaching out to us, we appreciate you taking the time.

Re: Safety issue
I think this is Dealer incompetence, nothing else. Buy a torque wench and the socket and check periodically. This design is proven on other vehicles, it's nothing new.

Re: Safety issue
It's 221 ft. lbs. I just bought a torque wrench that goes up to 250 ft. lbs. BRP wants $150 for the socket! I am watching for an after market one.
Anyone know of any ?
