Left front caliper hanging up. Dealer says $1072.00 to change. That sounds insane. Hea said 3 hours to bleed alone. Is that reasonable? I have changed a few on cars. Is this something I could do?
Part seems to be less than $200.

I NEVER use dealers except for FREE warranty work ..... so my opinion might not matter ...... BTAIM ... I think He/She wants to send the kids to college .....on your dime ..... If you have done a car you can do a Spyder plus you probably don't need a BUDS re-set ...... the BUDS thing is mostly CYA for BRP ..... jmho ...... go for it ..... Mike :thumbup:Quote:

i'd find another dealer.... WOW....! ! !

But they use the shop flat rate manual from BRP. It states 3.0 hours for the full change and bleeding including the last step to be done with BUDS. Now on the other hand the caliper is 1.3 hours and should mean it will be bled so it is working properly.
Just a note....Steps to bleed are : left front, Right front and then Rear...:thumbup:
Sorry I posted twice. New to the site and couldn't find the original post.
Just a follow up on this.
The bike was in the shop for repair from being rear ended. I had ask them to adjust the parking brake and the long stroke on the regular brake.
Parking brake now works as it should.
The long stroke is gone from the regular brake. Nice firm pedal.
I lifted the left front and spun the wheel. No brake drag. Spun it again and hit the brakes. Stopped it like it should.
I do not see a problem and don't think there is one.
