Start up RPM

[Nyparrothead]

Hi all,

My F3S at start up jumps to anywhere from 2300-3000 rpm. I thought this was a bit much for a cold engine and called a local platinum dealer. The rep told me that this was somewhat normal....

what at do you think.? He did say that mother BRP was well aware of the vibration issue but nothing is coming out to address it in the near future.... Said I should look at an aftermarket tensioner

My 2014 RT with the same engine [1330] starts up at 1100 - 1200 RPM and then drops quickly to 900 RPM
I would check with more dealers

Every F3 I have heard does that at start-up.

Both of ours do the same, have the same concerns with dry bearing start ups. Was told by two dealers that all F3 do it. I guess that to ensure premature engine damage is not being done is to do oil analysis at every oil change and I will be changing my oil every 5000 miles. Maybe if we all called BRP customer with our concerns they might figure out that they may have a issue?

:agree: My RT starts up like this as well; I don't know of any reason why an F-3 should be any different. :dontknow:
