Hello, looking at another 2018 CC MX EPS 750. I contacted CC and was informed that anyone with a cracked or broken manifold can go to their dealer and have it repaired with the 2019 update, at no cost. It is a "fix as fail" warranty of the manifold. Has anyone attempted to have it replaced?

It isn't totally clear from your post. But if the unit you're looking at, has this condition. And the price reflects that. I'd contact a couple of different dealers and ask if they'd fix it for free.

There is a recall on the faulty manifold which can crack/break. The company will only replace it if it cracks/breaks. It's called a "fix as fail." I spoke to a dealer who informed me that he has never had one come in with this conditions and he sells many. The new systems have been revised. The dealer did state that if it cracks, they photo it, then send it to the company to get the OK (or not) to proceed to replace it, which is quite expensive. Just something to keep in mind if this happened to you, and it's  worth a shot. Also, there is no time period to have it replaced.

I contacted the dealer to look up the history on it and it has never had any issues.

It doesn't sound like they're too concerned about this issue. So I wouldn't expect much. You might need an alternate plan. Possibly repair the existing manifold?

Edited to add that, it seems that it's become a non issue. Good luck!

Wish o had known. It cost me $900 to upgrade my 2017

  

Ouch! You could've probably ported the exhaust, and had a custom header made for that much lol.

How many miles on it before this happened? I know, CC should have contacted every owner. I would contact them anyway in regards to their recall and failure to contact you. Worth a try? Does anyone know if CC upgraded the manifold/muffler system in 2019 or 2020?

700 miles, bought used.  The short setup on the 2017 left with no flex pipe was doomed for problems.   The upgrade was done to 2019 models.  I welded mine twice before installing the upgrade.  Even at the cost and my labor it was worth it.

You had no choice but to fix the issue, but I would still call the company. Although they failed to notify all owners, of the recall, they will remain silent unless you call them on it.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      2023 massimo 850 eps overheating
      By carbdoctor
      I have an 850. It’s been overheating. The electric fan is not kicking on. I see the temperature switch going into the radiator, but there’s no wire plugging in to it or none to be found in the area. i’m thinking I might’ve hooked on a branch and it ripped out the harness on that part. Does anybody have a picture or no where that plugs into on the harness? On the top of the firewall, I did notice some plugs that have nothing plugged into it. I was wondering if it’s a harness that goes from there down to the radiator that was pulled off

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper
      By rdc
      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      2018 cub cadet 750 challenger clutch issues?
      By esmarkey
      Hi, I purchased a used Cub Cadet 750 Challenger that seemed like the belt was slipping so I put a new belt in.  It still acts like the belt is slipping but now I am thinking it is the clutch? 
      What is the best way to remedy this problem? 
      Can the clutch be rebuilt?
      Are there aftermarket clutches available?

      2019 Cub Cadet Challenger 400, trailer to transport the Challenger, and new, never used winch for sale
      By RBonds007
      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).
