I don’t know the doo engine, maybe they should put a grommet or tape over this hole?? Dealer said it was a bolt that backed out inside??

yea, they need to do something but the hole is there for a reason, moisture and heat release. But it needs a screen cover or something breathable that wont get sucked in and prevent small metal items from getting in and making a mess.

Do they cover these stators under warranty because its foreign objects? Hard to not to if its parts in belly pan left from assembly line

Internal? Would have to be a stator screw I guess? Those are usually loctited

You would like to think so, apparently this has been an issue. Stator mounting hardware comes loose and piles up the stator and flywheel. It has happened to two guys I ride with.

yea havent heard that one yet, Heard a few go down with the skidplate backing washers etc coming off or being lost in installation and getting sucked in.

I know of a 2020.5 that blew the stator and fried the computer.

Magnet likely came loose off flywheel. That’s happened before on doo sleds.

A guy in Sicamous is on his 3rd motor in a 2021 850T. About 4000 km. First motor went at 3000 km.

What were the failures?

Its possible that the Turbo is running that much hotter and is releasing the Loctite. All the hot charged air in the crankcase will make it a lot hotter. Loctite 262 is good to 300F and 263 is good for 360F.

Locktite where? 850 Crank im told has oil journals and not the isoflex around the bearing.

I find it hard to believe my doo would fail just on lube consumption alone

My 850t uses more oil in one day than my alpha did in 4 trips.
Pretty much every day when I come off the mountain my oil light is on. She loves lube

Didn't here. The cause wasn't posted.

Update: motor ok, stator not so much, something fell apart or got inside the stator housing... maybe something lose from factory as less than 100 k on sled.

On page one this was a stator or bolt failure.

Sounds like my 17 had same issue with less than 100kmh. Dealer said nut and washer loose,took out stator and starter

I have an 18, and i had the stator and ECM replaced under warrantee this year. They did not say the cause, but i cant help but think running an aftermarket can may have something to with it. There is a lot of heat coming of the can in those areas. I have since expanded my heat tape coverage and wrapped my can with header wrap.

Just my 2 cents.

My 2020.5 blew last month. No warning, 2700km's, xps oil.
