    Default BEST warranty

    We are the "poster children" for the BEST warranty! This sounds like a paid endorsement, but it seriously isn't.


    Believe me, it's NOT cheap to fix these "toys" of ours!!

    If your Spyder manufacturers warranty is running out, and you're on the fence about an extended warranty, get the BEST warranty, you'll be glad you did! We got the best price at Bert's Mega Mall (a little over $700). Shop around, lots of different prices out there.

    With the oil leak problem that we've had almost since we bought our Spyder in 2015, more than $10,000.00 worth of repairs were put into it including, a new engine/transmission assembly last week. Our BEST warranty has paid for itself more than ten times over!!

    BEST $$ we ever spent! (pun intended)

    I couldn't agree more. One new air bag, two compressors, new clutch cover, new master cylinder, brake bleed, new coolant, and some more stuff I can't remember. $50.00

    Shop around for sure. I called all the placed everyone suggested on here and my cost ranged from $975, $771 and $671. I went to my local dealer where we bought our bikes and got them for $621.00.

    I totally agree, I got my 3 years of BEST coverage on my 14 RT for free as a goodwill gesture after my 13 burned up, but it would have paid for itself if it had cost $3,000.

    They are also a great thing to have from a resale point of view. A bike with remaining extended warranty will definitely be worth more than the same bike with no coverage.

    I just wish BRP would offer them past 5yrs. I and many others would pay the cost. But then again, they may believe doing so would cut new bike sales.

    After reading about all the problems the Spyder has I am not sure that I should have purchased mind. I purchased a used 2015 RT in July 2017 with 10,200 miles and it has no warranty on it. It has never been in a dealership since I purchased it. Have never had a problem with it other than replacing tires with car tires, putting Doc’s belt tensioner, complete service twice, laser align it my self and have checked everything from brakes and everything I can possibly think of. I have always done all my own service work on all the motorcycles that I have owned for over 60 years. I did not realize these machines require so much repair. I like to do long rides it my not be the machine I want. I have put about 10,000 miles on it with no problems and really liked it until reading these problems.

    When I bought my 2014 RTL from PitBull back in 2014, I got the special 4 year warranty deal. It runs out end of this month. I found an extended warranty from Sierra Cycles (David) that 'reads' well as far as coverage. I've heard/read good things about this policy, but may find out in the future if it's as good as advertised. The cost: less than $800 for 4 years.
