Bought my 800 ex with 79 miles. Got reading on here about the junk air filters, went to open the air box and got a nice mess of about 20 oz’s of liquid. ( I hadn’t even ridden the machine minus around my property! ) the exhaust is loud as hell, oil pressure light comes on and stays on. It’s full of oil mind you, and now it’s back at the dealer for the 2nd time for leaky cv shaft boots ( grease everywhere ) the clutch secondary is making a bunch of racket, the shift linkage won’t hold an adjustment. When this thing runs right it’s a lot of fun but do the little things ever stop breaking? Mind you I have 350 miles on the machine and it’s a 2017.

Well...there are lemons out there and...there are some that are used ..let's say.."differently then intended". Sounds like this one may need to be exchanged for something else.

Yeah, both dealers I’ve been working with aren’t the most helpful. Cf moto the first time took three weeks to warranty out new boots which I feel should have just been axle replacements in the first place. It isn’t fun letting a machine sit in the heat of the riding season for almost a month! If these problems persist after I get it back this next time I’m going to be pretty upset, and will fully expect them to do something for me. I’ve been eyeing the CAN-AM machines and I’ll probably go that route
