Welcome to the compressor club. Ask the dealer if you can have the old compressor. Take it apart and see if it has a loose setscrew on the crankshaft or if it has bad brushes. Just curious.

Mine went out last week at around 59,000 miles. New ones in and working well. I hope it last longer than the first one!
Sure glad it happened before my extended warranty ran out.

Nothing said about it being an updated unit, and he had to order it in so it was not a unit that was sitting on his shelf for a long time.

My dealer just replaced the instrument cluster on my RT-S two weeks ago. When I pushed the switch to adjust the air the screen where the five little boxes are turned orange and says manual. When I questioned it I was told that was the way the new clusters where and that I had to hold it to inflate or to deflate, which is a PITA. It does inflate/deflate as long as I hold it. Are they feeding me a line of crap and that thing has crapped the bed?

ME TOO!!!!
2014 RT Limited, My compressor went out to, around 7300 miles. When I bought my Spyder there was a promotional 3 year BEST warranty. Shop called today and said the compressor is under warranty but not the labor. I read the pamphlet I got, it didn't say one way or the other about labor being covered. I did see where all but $50 for parts cost.
Does the BEST warranty cover labor? How much labor should I expect to pay for if it doesn't cover the labor? Is the compressor a quick delivery as far as parts, I know my shop doesn't have any in stock?
I know, a lot of questions. My wife loves riding on back and she's biting at the bit sitting in this nice weather.
UPDATE 9/8/17. Pick my Spyder up last night. Just paid the $50 deductible on the BEST warranty and I went ahead and had them do a full service. So total bill was $251 until my wife saw the sale on Can-Am cloths!! Seems to be working correctly, will know more after our trip this weekend.
By the way, All Seasons Powersports have killer deals on Can-Am shirts and Coats right now. I paid $5 a piece for 3 t-shirts.

Mine went bad and I had mine replaced under the BEST for $50.00. No labor. I think they are pulling the wool over your eyes. Bruce

They are wrong, do not pay them labor. If you in fact have the BEST warranty you only pay $50. And I've always paid just $50 even if I brought it in for multiple unrelated warranty issues. Ask them to call BRP or tell them you will but you are not going to pay them labor.
As for delivery it depends sometimes they get parts to dealers pretty quickly and other times they get hung up in customs. It can also depend on how quickly your dealer places the order. Good luck and be sure to come back and let us know how you made out.
If you didn't leave your Spyder at the shop you can always air up the air bag with the schrader valve under the seat.

compressor issues
My compressor is running pretty constant and I made an appointment with my dealer for Thursday 8/31 to check it. I have a extended warranty but it is not specific as I read the paperwork but I do not have a deductible. I hope it is a simple fix. Thanks for the information posted previous. I have a 2013 RT with 30,000 on it.

Apparently there is a module that tells the compressor when to run and that had gone bad resulting in damaging the compressor. Good news it's covered and should be fixed once they get the module in.
