I think you should extend your warranty and find a new service department.

Yes, I have a good one.
Purchased my 2014 RT-S on April 30, 2014. Now 23,000 trouble free miles. This is my 5th with the same record of trouble free miles.
Here come the dancing wieners.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

I owned 2010 RTS put 42,500 miles on it had no issues traded for 2014 RTL put 22,500 miles on it no issues traded for 2016 F3S have 8500 miles on it still going strong. I don't know what to tell you because of the problems your having. All I know with mine they have been trouble free.

Does anyone own any Spyder that doesn't have issues? i joined this group and all i see is people having problems with their bikes, I go on facebood, same thing nothing but problems. Im very concerned because my Warranty will be running out soon. Me and my wife really enjoy riding, but you have to be a little nervious about what will happen next? Maybe I bought a lemmon?
I have had only a couple of minor issues since new in April.
I just got back from a 3940 Mile ride to Deadwood SD for the rally. The trike ran flawlessly for the entire trip from 35 deg. to 95 deg., up to 82 MPH, not one issue. Figured gas mileage out to 39.24 MPG.

I talked to my dealers salesman and their service manager about an extended warranty on my 2014 RT-S. It was their demo so the warranty started in 2014. Both told me that on the 1330s the extended warranty isn't worth buying because they just haven't had enough issues that would be covered to make it worthwhile. I have had the DESS module replaced and now everything seems to be absolutely without problems of any kind on this bike.

Sorry to say that I am one who has posted about problems and not the good times. If I came on here and posted about every time I took my Spyder out without any issue I would have more posts then Bob
Bottom line is my Spyder is great and I would even ride it to Alaska and back without a second thought (wait A second I did do that last year).
Sorry about your issues, but as others have stated once those are worked out you should have a great and reliable
2021 Sea To Sky, 2020 RTL
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
but our benefits don't?

no they are all horrible you should just take yours out to the junk pile and burn it.
What do you think since most of us have purchased more then one.

When we bought our 13 RTL I came on this web site reading about all of the issues with the 13 RTs catching fire. I could have gotten paranoid and thought it would happen to me too. I decide to ryde the wheels off of it instead. Now 31000 + miles and you can't wipe the smile off of my face. If I had believed all of the negative garbage, I would have sold that motorcycle and never ridden again. So my wife loves to ryde so much we just bought another Spyder and we love them both! I LOVE to watch her ryde!
In life you get what you look for! Get the issues behind you, and look forward to all of the fun you and your wife can have Ryding. Then come back to this forum with a positive outlook and you will be overwhelmed by how much fun 90% of our members are having! Who knows your wife may decide she wants her own Spyder real soon! (Nothing says fun like dancing wieners!)
Peace and safe Ryding!

problems
I just finished a 4700 mile trip to Wyoming with the wife, and the only thing I needed was a new rear tire that I bought at Pitbull. But, I had over 13000 on the original tire at that point. Never an issue or problem.
Just go out and enjoy, one can Alwys find problems if you look long enough and hard enough.

2012RTL
I have a 2012 RTL with approximately 3400 miles on the odometer, it's been a good bike overall. I'm lucky to a have a dealer who works with his customers when the need arises, satisfied with my Spyder experience.
-
It would seem to me the problems you have had should have been under warranty.
For the record, I've owned three and have loved every one of them.

Nobody will ever have as many posts as Bob. If by some miracle you ever get close to his count, all he has to do is comment on your post and he just equaled out your post.
I have had 2 Spyders for a total of 17,000 miles in just over a year and a half and both have been trouble free. Although I probably just jinxed it by saying something.

Had my 2015 RT-S just over a year and 21000 km with no problems.Been lucky i guess because never a problem on any bikes i have owned over the past 40 years.

Between the 4 of us, very few little problem. Recurrent ones were dealer generated.
We are now totaling well over 100 000 km. ... of pure pleasure.

2014 RTS
Hve over 10, 000 miles on my RTS and have had zero problems. Everything has problems at one point or another. Your are just getting yours out early.
-
I love riding, never had a motorcycle and this kept the peace at home. just frustrated that stuff keeps breaking. To answer the question of where the pump is? I dont know. they said it was a pump that required taking the engine apart for. Im not too knowlegable on Spyders. Its good to see alot of you have no issues with yours. Hope to get to that point sometime. I got the call last night the bike is done. Ill see you on the road and thanks for all your comments
