📣 G3 Outlander Owners.
After only 69hrs of time on this unit that was brought in to us for hard shifting, creeping in gear, and loud whining noises. We immediately knew the main bearing in the Pdrive primary clutch has failed. It has shown that this has been a reoccurring issue for some G3 owners from the single cylinder family, and also the Vtwins. According to BRP, you’re suppose to service this bearing regularly to ensure it stays debris free, lubricated, and overall maintained. Service intervals seem to vary upon riding conditions. While we can say this machine doesn’t see deep water riding, it has seen some form of moisture or condensation build up in the bearing itself. Now while the rest of the clutch components and hardware was absolutely fine and rust free, it leads us to believe that the bearing wasn’t properly greased from factory. We ordered 3 OEM replacement bearings, Upon receiving them, 1 of 3 was properly greased but packing dates did differ. We ensured the new bearing was greased properly with the proper lubricant (BRP does spec a specific grease), also replaced the 2 washers/shims, and replaced the bolt/washer for the clutch itself. If you noticed symptoms like listed above, then it very well could be this issue and this can also happen on the previous models and aftermarket clutches. Be sure to maintenance your clutches and inspect them periodically to ensure a good life span. Would like to give a big thanks to Russell Coker w/ 3Pclutching and Jared Puk w/ CanAmPartsGuy for some insight and tech info regarding the matter! Also thank you to our awesome customer for trusting us with their machine and repairs!!!
