lol

tons of post on this

yes rocks get stuck in there and the mud scrapers help keep them in there and bam

Take the scrapers off, that will help a little. But bigger stuff will still get hung up on the caliper. The fix will be 14" wheels. Don't know why BRP thought 0" clearance will be the answer to what size wheels needed to be installed. I've already had a rock get hung against my caliper and landed off a jump a knocked a hole thru my wheel.

The perfect excuse for new rims!

so your saying what size tire and wheels solves this...

 

[Blownhotrodder]

You want the rims scratched or holes punched in the rim?

 

[Andy]

14" wheels is what he's saying, so you have enough clearance between the rim and the caliper for rocks and debri to clear without wedging themselves and scraping up your rims. I took my scrapers off, but after Mega fubared his rear brake with them off, I put mine back on.

Wheel size. The rocks get inside the wheel and hang on the scraper. Take the scraper off and it hits the caliper. Run a larger wheel and it will take a larger rock to get hung on either. So same problem, but less likely.

What Andy said too. Sorry, phone hadnt updated.

 

[Clifs maverick]

And with the 12" rims, if you bend one it will get into the bleeder screw. Go with the 14" when you can. Happened to me twice so far.

 

[heavysledz]

I wonder if you somehow angled the wiper so that it feeds the debris out of the rim, if it would help clear stuff out quicker instead of letting it sit in there like a rock tumbler at 70MPH???

 

[Andy]

It might, but from what I have noticed it's the smaller rocks n pebbles that get wedged between the scraper and the rim that do the damage. I was thinking of trying to modify a mud cover to fit on the inside, but thought that might trap more crap...Not really ready to pop for 4 new wheels and tires just yet. In the mean time I'm leaving my scrapers on...don't need a bent rotor on top of scratched rims.

does canam warranty the wheels that have been damaged by rocks getting stuck in there?

why would they?

 

[desertdog]

For me, its the lesser of 2 evils to just live with the scrapes. The damage that can happen if the scraper is removed will cost even more $. If I change to 14" rims & tires, then that is alot more $. So the scraped rims will just have to be part of it.

 

[heavysledz]

that's my theory too......
