Spyder has only 3000 miles on it, while riding to have state inspection, master cylinder broke open with a resulting $500 repair bill. Anyone else have this problem?

That's not a bad price. It's about $250 to $275 for the part and the labor and inspection. It's low mileage for a failure of that part, but the master cylinder was 5 years old. I have not seen or heard of this type of failure before.

Its a 2010 RS and the irony is that it was given to me by BRP to replace another Spyder (2007) that I ahd so much trouble with that I had to use a Lemon Law lawyer to get BRP's attention. The first Spyder was in the shop over 15 times, sometimes for weeks on end to correct one problem after another. The replacement was suppose to be covered for manufacturing defects but I am now involved in an another argument with them over what the shop mechanic said was a definite defect.

It's a 2010 with only 3000 miles on it. Hardly riden this year because of a knee replacement that kept me off it.

I though you had a 2008. Sorry.

Unusual problem. First time I have heard of it on an RS.
