Welcome, and well done! I would suggest taking a close look at the fitment of panels and pieces throughout the machine. Some machines are perfect and some aren't apparently. We didn't notice a fitment issue at the front of the left side case of our 2021 Sea to Sky (which was also still in the crate) until a week or so after taking delivery. We stopped at the dealer yesterday to point out the issue and were told they would take photos and sent them to BRP warranty for a decision when we come in for the initial 600 mile service. We'll see how that goes.
Glad to see your finding your way around the forum Valiant. :congrats: On the new Spyder RT. Make sure and post a photo of your new ride in the Spyder Garage area of the forum when you get it home. The Spyder will take some getting use to but I think you will be very happy with it. Miles of Smiles for sure. :thumbup:
Valiant, welcome and congratulations on your new Spyder. In addition to my suggestions above to Arion. I suggest you go to this link, http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/I...adster&type=og, drill down to to your RT and download a copy of the operator's guide so you can begin reading it and become thoroughly familiar with your Spyder.
There is no initial 600 mile service. It is at 3200 miles. The 600 mile service is a carry over from the days of the 998 twins.Quote:

Time to go visit the service manager.Quote:

You can verify the service requirements. Just have a look at the manual. I have heard nothing about "new" service requirements for the 2021's. Your still riding with the 1330/3 engine which has now been around since 2014. I question the salesman and service reps information to you about your new bike. If they are "free" go for them. It they are going to charge the "usuall" $350 or so for the oil change/filter....I would recommend hang on to your money. :bbq:Quote:

Just so long as BOTH their 'extra thrown in' check/whatever at 600 miles AND the Manufacturers scheduled 'First Service' are still free :lecturef_smilie:Quote:

I've only ever bought 'used' vehicles in the States before, and I didn't get schmick free on those deals! :p Gotta admit that it's generally a helluva lot cheaper over there to buy vehicles either way tho; at least cheaper'n here in Oz! :rolleyes:
I didn't get anything free with mine except a Can-Am cap but got a good deal I think, lol. I'll be doing my own service anyhow.
:welcome: & :congrats:Quote:
