  1. My HD10 has begun to stall after a cold start....two years old. It runs for a time...poorly...and then stumbles and stalls. Waiting for a few seconds before turning the key to the start position doesn't seem to eliminate the problem. I think that I can hear the fuel pump running before turning the key to start position. I manage to get engine running by repetitive start attempts with "light pumping" of the throttle pedal. After the first stalls and stumbles, engine starts flawlessly throughout the day. Do have a problem at times in PARK....no crank/no start. If I move the shift lever to NEUTRAL...engine cranks/starts. Bad sensor at PARK position ?? Also notice a high pitch whine when turning off the engine. It persists for perhaps a minute and then stops. A high-voltage capacitor somewhere ?? Any ideas greatly appreciated ! May soon buy a new fuel pump and hope that it fixes the problem.
  2. Hi......... Factory now selling side-view mirrors: https://can-am-shop.brp.com/off-road/us/en/715002459-side-mirror.html.html# Major rip-off price though....US$105.00 each.
  3. Hi........ Wondering if anyone has successfully installed/used an inverter on a Defender. Would like a 120-volt power source to run a compressor for air mattresses during trips into the wild. Connection either through the 12-volt ports or direct connection to the battery ?!
  4. XS Power stud is an awesome adapter ! Assume that other size combinations are produced as well. Love it !! Thank you ! Never knew of them before your post.
  5. Hi.......... Have a procedure in attachment to install Seizmik mirrors on XT cab doors with part number !! No need to remove inner door panels...a real hassle. See images for appearance and tools. Work really well and fold back for narrow spots...between trees and such. Good luck !! SeizmikMirrorDefenderInstallation.docx
  6. Hi....... New to the forum !! Have a 2019 HD10 XT w/Cab. Also annoyed by the noise level. Have made a modification and taken measurements with a sound meter. Cut off enough of the exhaust pipe to give it a "level run" and added a flex pipe exhaust system connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AGMRA4/ This modification eliminates the helicopter "pocketa-pocketa" sound created when the exhaust gases hits the top of the sway bar. Idea from a man with a YouTube channel: Sound level measurements made with VLIKE VL6708 meter with the flex pipe extension: Idle at 1200 RPM....10 feet behind HD10 = 65.8 decibels; inside cab/windows open/windshield "cracked open" with lever = 67.1; inside cab/windows closed = 66.7 decibels. At 4000 RPM....10 feet behind = 79.7; inside cab/windows open/windshield "cracked open' with lever = 82.4; inside cab/windows closed = 81.6 decibels. Note that an increase of 10 decibels means apparent sound volume has doubled [2x] in intensity. Also note that you will suffer no hearing damage if you expose your ears to 82 decibels for a continuous 16 hours...but no longer. At 85 decibels, hearing damage is possible after a continuous 8 hours. Going to install a Silent Rider muffler in-line with the OEM system and repeat measurements. Also looking at a sound insulation kit from Can-Am which goes on the 2020 models; part number unknown right now. Also considering the Thermo-Tec 14620 material or the XCEL Marine Roll to cover the interior side of the firewall. Will provide same measurements when I finish installation of one of these three insulation options.
