I am looking for a competent canAm Spyder tech in southwestern AZ, in an area within the approximate boundaries of say Buckeye, Parker/Havasu, Blythe & Yuma. (we stay 20 miles east of Quartzsite) I have heard & read several reports of poor service and procedues at RideNow, so have ruled them out, but, they seem to have Phoenix/Tucson area in a strangle hold with BRP. Spyders are no longer sold/serviced in the Yuma, Parker or Havasu CanAm dealerships, sayanara snowbirds.
I have a '13 ST Limited se5, I recently started getting a “kaachunking, kaachung” under moderate acceleration at 5700 – 5900 rpm in 1st gear, kinda like a miss, but more like a clutching issue or missing tooth or an unscheduled up-shift event. I have not noted it in 2nd or 3rd and have not been out of town and won't to get on it. No issue/event under light acceleration. No fault codes, Proper Amzol oil, 17000 miles. Rpm does not take off/rise. There may be a bit more of a low gear whine, just not sure on that, my hearing is crapola from years of jet engine noise in my younger days, high freq hearing gone, w/strong continuous tinnitus. I called Pit Bull in Springfield, but they can't get it in til after our departure date. So I'll trailer it out and hope for the best. Will try to avoid driving a motor home and trailer across Phoenix. Country flat-lander!!!! I guess in the long run I can live with another Polaris such as a slingshot, perfect compliment to my RZR to replace Spyder!!!!
