I'm a brand new Spyder 2014 RT Limited owner in black currant and I love the bike, but I just recently drove it home from the dealer and parked it in the garage to add some graphics to it. After I completed the graphics about two days later and moved the bike for the first time there was a puddle of oil under the bike. I took it right back to the dealer who apologized and investigated the problem. What they found was that Can-am has issued a bulletin stating that if this happens on the 2014 RTs it is a problem with the type of "Loctite" (sealant) that was used on one of the bolts. The Loctite was replace with a different brand and everything is working fine.

I believe they were suppose to replace the set screw as well. Happened to mine as well, and they had to order two kinds of Loctite and a new set screw

:congrats: on your new ryde. :thumbup: They are right on about the screw and the locktite. To bad the dealer did not catch it before delivery. At least they are on top of it now.

:congrats: On the new Spyder, My dealer during the set up for delivery they
did the mod on it. All the dealers have gotten a letter on this fix. Your dealer should
have done the fix during the set and delivery for you. It's a small fix they will have you
riding in no time. I'm sure you will have lots of fun.
