D-Fresh,
Look at it this way. If it is out of spec Rotax is giving you a new cylinder! A new cylinder cost a lot of $$$. Lets say you don’t do the program and you sell it at the end of the season. The first question that will be asked is, is it Rotax legal? If your a straight shooter you will have to tell them that you don’t know because the cylinder my be out of spec. Then, the value of your engine goes to zero. It isn’t often that Rotax gives anything away for free! Say, Thank-You Thank-You Thank-You and smile alot. As they say in Napcar- Git-R-done!
This makes sense, especially considering the newest update…

Another day, another up date. The only things I really need off the engine are the ignition coil, carb and radiator. Its easier to leave the carb with the kart than it is to leave it on the engine. Just remove the inlet fuel hose and lay the carb off to the side. The ignition system is two bolts and one disconnect on the back side of the engine. The radiator is two clamps and one bolt.
After a bit of arm twisting by the dealers, Rotax is waiving all fees for applying the dual seal. So both programs are a complete no cost to the racer. The only thing you have to lose is the time necessary to pull the motor and a can of carb cleaner so that we can crack it open.
There is no down side to racer.
I just want to verify I’ve got this right. No cost for either the cylinder exchange program or the dual seal application? Does this apply even if the last seal was not done by Shockwave? As long as we get them into you by the 31st of July (end of cylinder exchange) then we should be good to go, right?
Sorry I ask so many damned questions.
