Little Help Please

[DRIVEBYE]

Took my Freeride out for the first time yesterday. About half a mile in I heard a bang came to a stop and heard a louder bang. Figured it was something in the skid but than saw a bunch of what looked like belt material. Turns out a hood spacer went inside the clutch cover and was getting shredded. I can't find anywhere wear this part would go or if it is necessary.

Anyone know where this goes?

Well, my deductive reasoning suggests that, since it was caught in the clutch AND it has a giant "L" cast into it that it came from the left side. That is about as "helpful" as I can be.

I totally agree lol

Pull the hood off and you should be able to see where that part came from, searching the Doo parts fiche yielded jack.

My buddy who ones a dealer had his hood his new turbo and could not find it. He also said he sees all kinds of random parts and stuff in machines from BRP when they assemble them.

I don't know why Doo shows the part number, tells you what is but has no picture to show you where it is. It has to be somewhere under the hood on the left side. I've had the hood off my 21 Summit 850 numerous times and don't remember seeing any kind of spacer. How is your hood alignment, any spaces or misalignment on the left side?

I did not figure what the part was until after I left my sled for the night, but it seemed fine.

According to Doo's fiche, there is one on the right side as well so I'd check there.

Thank You

I would have assumed that or they would not have had to label this one "L".....unless, of course the "L" means something entirely different than "left". That was just another "assumption" I made. Hmmmm, perhaps I make TOO MANY assumptions. That would explain a lot of problems I seem to run into.

It's a spacer that fits next to the gas tank where the side of the hood slides up too. it fits behind the panel to make the gap between the hood sides and the gas tank even. If that makes sense

Ok cool! Any idea if its vital?

 

[Seedie_Man]

It is, without it you will just tip over on the right.

 

[cubby]

Not really vital I guess.

Got one ordered for good measure. Thanks again for the help.
