About 2 weeks. I was expecting much longer. Haven't had any problems since and just had 3k service done.
Get thee to a dealer close to you, pronto! My brand new Spyer F3 hade an oil leak which turned out to be a bad engine block -- BRP sent a new engine and within 4 weeks I was back on the road. You...
The first mod I did to my 2022 F3 base was to rotate the bars downward so my hands are straighter.
The second mod was to pick up a throttle lock on Amazon. They sell a Chinese copy of the Atlas...
I used the standard cable for the Tourmaster. That brought me to 5 inches out of the left side plastics, had to add a 6 inch extension to reach the lead from the vest. Works perfectly and also...
BRP shipped the new engine out and the dealer received it 2 weeks later. Today, I finally picked up the Spyder. Seems to run fine so far. Now I have to catch up on my riding....
No,,, no mention at all....I'm sure I can make it up when I get the bike back. By now, I would have had somewhere between 1000-1500 miles
Did the search and found some mentions of this problem.
Guess I'm lucky that my dealer and BRP went directly to replacing the engine; some folks had to fight for months to get it corrected.
...
OOps, that should read " cracked swingarm"
don't know the cause of the crack. I sure haven't hit anything...
Luckily it is under warranty.
I must say that I loved the 2008 spyder when it was running. Problems with it included the...
I put 40k miles on my 08 Spyder in 2 years. BRP sent a new engine out when it blew at 21k, but after that I had problem after problem. I ditched the Spyder and switched to a Ninja for 80k and a...
In the past 13 years I've traveled over 150000 miles on various motorcycles. I've never locked my helmet, and not one has been stolen. I usually hang it from the left side passenger peg, but now on...
Thanks to all for your input. I have decided to connect direct to battery, with outlet plug up next to the key. Deciding factor was that I want to use it for battery tender also, like on my Z900.
Is there any reason not to connect my heated vest to one of the "Customer Accessories" outlets on my F3 base? Tourmaster wants me to connect direct to the battery, but the outlets would be so much...
My wife named both my rides. The Spyder is the " Metal Bitch" as in " Are you riding the bitch again , dear?". My Ninja 650 is the "Steel Slut".
Can't win either way-- I'm in trouble no matter...
As the post above mentions, the one time it worked fine was when there happened to be a demo Spyder in town at the same time. It took me a month to get mine, with blown engine, fixed, even with...
My experience is that the Spyder corners faster/better than my VTX 1300 but not quite as good as a 20-year old on a Ducati. It will likely corner better than your buddies' Harleys -- I almost ran...
Check Twisted Throttle.com and Competition Accessories to see their price for the Givi 35's -- that is what you are getting with the BRP Givi's. the mounting set for the BRP version is better than...
Next time, ride there:2thumbs:
Well, I've got 34160 miles and it shows 278 hours, for an average speed of 122.8 mph...:yikes:
Oh yeah, forgot that the hour meter reset when the new engine went in at 21000 miles..... so let's...
Good job keeping up with him!
I just followed my aerostiched VFR-riding friend through the twisties on CA 128 near Calistoga. He was amazed that I was right on his tail the whole time, and that...
I understand the need for the lean, also. Put my Spyder up here in claissifieds, then had second thoughts - I've got way too much invested in it and way more mileage than most folks would think was...
I've used Merrill Moab gore-tex hiking boots for a few years now -- mesh and cool for the heat, but waterproof for the rain. Worked well in snow also as long as it snot too cold. They are the most...
Dealer in CO Springs folded a while ago. Closest is Denver now.
285 is mostly pretty nice after you get past the connection to 470. I've ridden from there to Salida. Some truck traffic but OK.
Coming down from Salida to Alamosa I haven't done.
Once on...
I agree wholeheartedly! Just finished a ride over 3000 miles with a few 500-mile days. Tired - damn straight! But I wouldn;t even have tried without a good windshield, risers, and my highway pegs....
Well, they may or may not be the highest volume dealer in the US, but they sure were nice to this rider last week.
I was passing through Denver and needed an oil change. Stopped in and they...
I agree! The service was really quick and the missing air dam really works. I put it on a few weeks ago and then went out for a 3000 mile ride. Never over 3 bars, even idling in traffic in Moab,UT...
Move over -- I hit 31664.9 miles today :2thumbs:
By the time September rolls around ( 2 years from when I bought it), I should have closer to 40,000.
Unless it sells before then!
Great product, Pops! Installed mine on Tues. Left Weds and have put on 1500 miles across CA, NV, UT and CO -- haven't seen over 3 bars yet!!!
Seconded :2thumbs:
