Ready to cry...Spyder fire

[jetmech]

Riding home from work today (all highway) I pulled into my drive and noticed a thin white smoke all around me. I jumped of my 2013 RT-L just in time to see some fluid streaming from around my right foot. Just then said fluid ignited as it hit the exhaust. It really does sound worst then it was because the flame when right out after a few seconds. i'm sure it did some damage under the skin and scared the poo out of my son. Yep, go figure scheduled for the recall this week just waiting on the parts.

Any ideas of what the fluid is? kinda oily, yellow in color and was not hot to the touch off the drive. Brake fluid maybe?

I've called my dealer Competition Accessories (Tug and Steve are awesome) They are coming to get the Spyder in the morning with no charge. Im just trying to get a head start in finding out whats wrong with the her.....

Hey Mclaw44; any word on what caused your fire/ fluid leak? We sure would like to know what caused this so we take the proper action to elevate this issue.

Ok so after a long few weeks waiting on my Spyder it is now home. Spyder required a new master cylinder. The fire was caused by break fluid hitting the exhaust. Recall done and ready to ride just in time for my vacation.

Thank you for the update.

Was anything else destroyed besides the M/cylinder?
Was it all fixed under warranty?

Was the tandem master cylinder recall completed before the leak/fire occurred? If so, this indicates the tandem master cylinder recall was not effective.
