  1. Based on the response from Dragoon, much earlier I have been researching alternatives.  I didn't like any of the aftermarket units and they cost quite a bit.  I will post more as I move forward, but I am primarily interested in air intake because of Dust, not so much the drive belt.

    My lonestar's brakes squeak from time to time as well. It did it from brand new.

     

    I know the noise you're talking about and I have yet to pin point it just yet. The fan will kick on, but the noise you're talking about in the engine bay is something else. I've been told it's normal, but still have no clue to what it is.

    Is it kind of a squeal?  I find that the fuel cap must not be a vented style and after a decent ride it makes a squeal. crack the cap to relieve?  otherwise, only my fan runs after shutdown

     

  3. Looking for wisdom on this topic.  Our biggest threat is dust!  Winter or summer, everything is dusty.  Which is not to say we don't play in the water and mud...  I plan on trying to build my own setup and am looking for some input from others who have installed their own or from a kit.  Please share your experiences, good and bad.

  4. FIXED 

    Thank you Mossy Oak!  Here is how this went.

    I wanted the shop manual anyhow, so I bought it $24.50  Here is the link - https://brpmanuals.com/canam-defender-manual.htm  I bought the electronic version and it has lots of "extras". 

    I found instructions for pulling the code in sub section 04 page 267.  It worked just as described, you really can flash low beam to high beam 3 times in 2 seconds!  code came up P0122 - A search online said it was Throttle Position Sensor Voltage Low and the manual had some instructions for checking it.  Found the location of the sensor on page 259 and went to see if the connection was loose.  It was not and the wiring looked fine.  Since all the wiring from front to back is protected by the frame and skid pan,  I went up front in the cab to check out the accelerator pedal itself.    Eureka!  The wiring connection into the pedal was not clipped on fully and when I pulled on it, it came loose.  I pushed the connection back together making sure the clip was fully engaged.  Started the machine and NO check Engine Light!!  Throttle worked.  I buckled up and went for a ride!!!  I am sure the clip loose was an anomaly, but what a horror. this would have left us stranded had it happened out on a trail ride.

    Thanks again for the encouragement and a place to come for help.  I hope my fix might help another one day.

  5. 2019 Defender Max HD10 Lone Star.  bought in August 2018 brand new.  has 2250 miles on it now, with NO Issues, and we run this thing everywhere. Took a quick ride the other day about 5 miles out the road to help a neighbor with a flat tire.  #) minutes later, headed home, same 5 miles back.  Dropped the neighbor off, went to head home and the display is scrolling Limp Home Mode.  WTH?  Starts and idles, but no throttle.  Dealer says bring it in...   That is 207 miles one way...  Any ideas on what causes this?  Can it be rest without the dealer?  I get that it is to protect the machine, but limp HOME, should not leave you stranded.
