Shot starter issues

[02sedona]

One of the unlucky ones who picked up my new sled early last year. Started it up this year and the first day out my shot stopped working. Took it to my dealer and found out I was out of warranty by a month. They said it was a sensor under the front of the motor that need to get replaced and a two hours of labor. (They ran it on the laptop and swapped out the shot capacitor module to test it out with a good one) Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I looked at the parts schematics and didn’t see any sensor there. Anyone else have any insight on this?

Hmm, likely a faulty capacitor itself. Can’t remember what year it was but Doo released a bunch of sleds with faulty capacitor- had a similiar issue on my sled.

They had a good one and swapped it for testing. Said the one on my sled was fine.

Hmm, keep us posted.

2019 had a large number of capacitor failures,there was a bulletin on that somewhere ,maybe on Dootalk

Hmm, keep us posted.

Being a cheap skeet I will be using the pull cord to start my sled. I’m pissed that it is a not a warranty since it was a known problem. At least my motor hasn’t blown up like my Polaris sleds seem to do.

That’s to bad, might be worth sending in your concern to BRP directly.

In my opinion, a one year warranty is scary. Basically, depending on where you are for season length, it is a 1 month to 6 month warranty. But that is also why I pick my sleds up as late as possible, to keep warranty as late as possible.
As posted, go for a goodwill with BRP directly. They are in the position of trying to please as many as possible right now.

Did you ever get this fixed? Or do you have any specifics on this sensor? The shot on my sled only works the first 1-2 times each ride. I am wondering if this sensor may have a loose connection. Thanks!

Never

I have not had this repaired yet. I had the shop check it out with their diagnostic test on the laptop. They said the sensor can go out of adjustment, which might be your issue.

Pulling a cord is really not that difficult. It is a minor inconvenience knowing that it could be started with the push of a button.

there’s a crank position sensor that is integral to the SHOT system. mine failed on my 2020 Freeride and was replaced.
