CFPS is coming to pick up bike Monday. 2 calls have been made two brp by me this evening ,I am fuming mad!!!!!! Dealer has been top notch song everything the can and I appreciate that, debating in my next move...f6b or stick with this, my confidence is running out with brp if brp is reading this......HELP!!!!!!!'

    I'm watching this post with interest as I pick my 2014 RT up on the 17th. I find it strange they replaced the cover. I see why the gasket and seal but to replace the cover I'm thinking maybe the block is warped .Also you never know the tech could have pinched a seal/gasket on the install. Hope you get a positive outcome and you stick with the Spyder.
    Happy Owner

    Wow!
    This can't possibly be indicative of a problem with the Service Department; can it?

    OUCH! BRP, what say you? I think he deserves a replacement bike. Twice now. I guess Danny needs to pack his bags for Florida! Tom

    Default THIS OIL LEAK

    I agree with those here who believe this doesn't sound like the Dealer tech didn't get the gasket on right.....It sounds more like there is something warped and or not machined correctly ......and no amount of GASKET/ COVER changing is going to fix this .......JMHO.....Mike ......PS Good Luck

    Unhappy

    Hmm, could be several different causes. Leak times two. May be time for BRP to flight check one of their planes. But leave the shower curtain in Canada this time. Hope it's a simple fix. One thing seems certain. It will get fixed. Good luck.

    I know a lot of goldwing owners and just to let you know they are not problem free either.....

    The key is having a good dealer who can get things resolved with the manufacturer which sometimes is hard to find.

    the earlier ones had bad welds and the rear brakes on my 08 wore out a couple of times but with 13 k on the bike i got 17.5k on a trade in.
