2011 RT-S SE5 Questions.....
Hey all,
New to the Spyder and the forum. I have been looking for a 2011 RT-S SE5 for the wife in the Silver (Magnesium) color and we have found the dealer with the best deal around the state (AZ). I have a couple of questions. I have tried the search feature and nothing comes up, might be using the wrong wording.
I know I will be doing the extended warranty when I purchase the bike, (2+3 years). My question is;
#1 Is the maintenance plan worth the money? I haven't been quoted anything and was curious as to what it covers and for how long. Does anyone know what the average cost of such plans run? I have looked on the BRP website and don't see anything. It seems that its dealer specific sales pitch thing, but not sure?
I was also looking for the scheduled maintenance for the 2011 RT-S SE and was wondering if there is a list somewhere on the web that I could look at and see if it is something I could do myself?
#2 I do all my maintenance on my M109, and once the warranty is over I know I will be doing all of the maintenance on the wifes Spyder. I was wondering where the best place to find a maintenance manual for the 2011 RT-S SE5 can be found. I have looked on ebay but have only found a CD version for $25. Is this what everyone is using or are there better alternatives out there.
Thanks for all the Help,
Shane

The standard B.E.S.T. is just an extended warranty...no maintenance included. The B.E.S.T. Plus covers the 600 mile service and one service call per year. Remaining maintenance is at the owners expense.

So I understand this correctly. The standards B.E.S.T. is just the extended warranty and the the B.E.S.T. Plus is just the 600 mile and yearly maintenance?
I would think the B.E.S.T. Plus would be the extended warranty plus the scheduled maintenance. Am I reading this correctly?

Sorry I wasn't clear. Your interpretation is correct. The B.E.S.T. Plus adds the four service calls to the extended warranty.

Just got my RTS SE5 a week ago and included the maintance and extended warreny. My dealer had a better plan the BEST plan for the maintance part. Go with the syder extended plan to 5 years total coverage. Around 900 bucks. Then my dealer had a plan that covers all maintance by the manual fpr 3 years, that was 600. They did both for 1200 total dollars. 5 year warrenaty and 3 year 100% payed maintance. So splitting them even would be 600 each. Its costing me nothing but gas to ride this bike for 3 years. Maintance cost by the book is way over the 600 price payed for the maintance warrenty. I dont think you can beat that deal. Ask your dealer what the costs for maintance by the book would be and compare. Dont faint when he tells you!

That is a smoking deal from what I have been looking around here at.
