Front Sprocket Failure #2
Had my 2nd one go in just over 10,000 miles, this time while in Yellowstone. Major expenditure to get the trike back home, as dealer closest to there (Rexburg, ID) was willing to "look at it" but not yet dealt with this specific issue.
This is my third Can-AM (had the GS and RT) and never had this issue before - so something is clearly wrong. And just to be clear, I am NOT one of those guys that likes to paint the blacktop with burnout stripes.
Not a lot of faith with the product or the company at this time...

Could you give us a discount on 2 tensioner now that the f3s are less than 2009 rs and they have stopped making them as of this year . Hope to hear from you bigal55.
Happened to me at 28000 miles
My Spyder is in the shop for this right now for this issue. According to the service manager, this is a common issue. He said that they get one of these a month in. BRP should put out a service bulletin to all dealers to check for this issue when doing any type of service. Lucky for me I was at a stop light when this happened. If I had been on the Interstate who knows what may have happened. I would be interested to know what others mileage is.
