From www.spydercomfort.com . This is the ROLO Alignment system
"On 3/25/2015 BRP issues a additional service bulletin to their dealers named Roadster alignment specifications, number 2015-6, endorsing True Laser track for the 2nd year in a row"
The problem is, the company hasn't yet completely penetrated the dealer market, which makes it hard for many of us to get laser alignment without traveling hundreds of miles. In my case, the nearest dealer is in Las Vegas which is about 350 miles from me. I talked to Spyder Comfort and they said that Ride Now has ordered them for their stores here in the Phoenix area. Hopefully, they will be up and running sometime in mid July. I don't have any reason to believe my brand new Spyder is out of alignment, but based on what I've read here, it would be worth $125 for the peace of mind.

Pam,
worth the trip to come to Las Vegas ! Don't pay to be some ones training bike! We can Square you away! Call Ann to set it up - you will be happier if it is done right! Joe
I sure agree with Joe. Hopefully RideNow does invest in this but it's going to take them awhile with the "learning curve" involved. Joe and Ann have done hundreds of these and you won't be disappointed! They "squared me away" and the ryde is awesome! Plus you can spend a night in Sin City and enjoy a buffet somewhere...
I would love to get one done, but it looks like Washington is our closest option!
Question is - If BRP feels that way why are they not doing it at the factory or requiring it as part of setup by the dealers??????????
This sure went off the original post..:gaah:
Chandler location of Ride Now is getting one installed. I'd rather go there than 65 miles to the Peoria location. I'm among the legions of people who have had bad experiences with Ride Now, but if they're the only game in town, I guess I have to bite the bullet. Thanks

I would love to, but an overnight trip to Vegas is not in my budget right now. My finances are still reeling from having just purchased the Spyder, plus my son is getting married in three weeks, and I have to make a 2,000 mile four day trip to Dallas to attend the wedding. Hotel rooms are not cheap.
I'll see how things look in a month or so.

That would constitute a flat out admission by BRP engineers that there is better way to do it that they did not develop. Engineers do that very reluctantly. Plus they would probably have to pay licensing fees if they require the use of that method. There's a huge difference between acceptable and required.
The alignment is based on the rotor, not the tires. The tires don't have to be on to be aligned. In fact, the BRP procedure requires the tires to be removed. They could do a laser alignment at the factory but they'd have to revise the procedure and/or tools as the tires would not be mounted on the bike and the current procedure is designed to be done with all the tires mounted.
Trikermutha, as an idea, and if it works maybe you would share it with me or the entire forum, possibly you could get a hold of Mike at Spydercomfort / ROLO in Florida. He may have a copy he is willing to share.
There may possibly be 2 bulletins. 2014-6 and 2015-6
