Longest your spyder has been in the shop?

[Whitetail]

Mines currently going on two weeks, dealer contacted BRP about it because they havent encountered this problem before, running really rich, fouled plugs, hesitating. And its been two weeks since i had it..no loaner spyder either :( i am also buying the comfort seat from them, but whats the longest youve had your spyder in the shop? I am hoping to get it back soon, although my girlfriend sat on the RT tonight and loved it, maybe in a year or so when there arediscounts on the 14...as much as i joked about the RT model, it just seems the best for everyday, and anytime riding.

2011 RT - Shop time at the most 3 hrs. Going on 19K miles. I've been very fortunate. :yes:

Mine spent about half of the 2013 riding season in the shop in several large stints, plus all of the winter, plus its been back a few times this year... though now they don't have me bring it in until they are able to work on it...

So far I've had two new Gear Position Sensors, a new ignition system and a new throttle body....
And they still can't figure out whats wrong

[Pirate looks at --]

Just because I cat wait to get it done. The longest I had to wait was 4 hours, but the dealer gave me a 2014 RTL for a loaner.

Seven years and 2 :spyder2:s later

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

[tobor9]

About a week waiting for a part(ECM) otherwise 4-5 hrs max.

[Chupaca]

2.5 hours..for first service and never been back...do have to say lack of parts is (or shouldn't be) dealer fault but still leaves you without a ryde..:mad:

[SpyRyd]

9 days.

[Hecam17]

A month right after I bought it for a recall, I was told waiting for parts exchange.

[Bob Denman]

20 weeks... :shocked:


..for a complete re-build after an "incident" with a Subaru! :gaah:

[Chief-J]

2011 RT-S SM5 was in the shop for two weeks, for an 18,000 mile service. The Service Shop is great, they were training a new Tech.

[oldguyinTX]

2 1/2 weeks, waiting for parts. Dealers cannot stock everything, and getting parts from BRP is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock.

[MouthPiece]

2010 RT-S Premier Edition (24,000 miles) 4 days.

2013 RT-S (19,000 miles) 3 hours

Overnight a couple times. When they told me September for oil filters, I took it home and bought the filters elsewhere. :yikes:

[granpa in Cincy]

2 weeks and counting - it's still there waiting on parts. 10 days to diagnose, rest for parts.
Have a loaner, so OK by me. Put 5 tanks of gas thru the loaner.

[Netminder]

3-4hrs tops. If my dealer would keep it longer he would provide a loaner!;)

[KX5062]

3 days on my 2008 GS. 5 weeks so far on my 2014 RT. Combination of waiting for a replacement lock set, small (dealer) shop with other jobs going and my willingness to wait for the job to be done right (which it was not).

[sddinnh]

It's never been in overnight. There were a couple of "all day" affairs, but that was my fault because they were adding farkles.

[twain]

My 2013 ST Limited spent 5 months out of first 11 months. Was still in shop when I traded it in for my 2013 RT Limited. So far since January 2014 , the RT had not been in the shop except for two oil changes and one recall. Keeping fingers crossed.

[Whitetail]

Well, update, I may have my spyder back this weekend if all goes well, and with a mostly replaced fuel system.

[Bob Ledford]

7 days waiting for a replacement DPS unit to be shipped I over a three day weekend holiday. Not the dealers fault.

[Y-me]

Longest was about a month and a half as dealer was attempting to resolve oil leak.

[stallion143]

3 hours, when I took my 2012 RT in for the 4,500 mile service & to replace the rear tire with a Kumho....I have a total of 7,200 trouble free miles rYding on my "Silver Bullet".....:yes::yes::yes:

[jansboy]

In 15 months my Spyder has been in the shop 0 hours and 0 days. I do my own service and repairs. One great Machine.

10 weeks in fall of 2013 and now 5 weeks and counting for transmission problems.

[SNOOPY]

Dang, that sucks! :(

[PW2013STL]

2013 ST-L = 10 days for purge valve. Shop had to order one
Mileage 6200

2014 RT-L = 4 hours for 3000 mile service
= 2.5 hours for laser alignment
= 3 hours for rear tire replacement
Mileage 10,000 and counting

[Jim&Teresa]

2 hours has been the longest time our 2014 RT L has been in the shop! It had it's first service and I got a demo to ryde while they changed the oil/filter and did the first service check. Plus I got a print out of the BUDS report! :thumbup:

The 2014 RT L has been AWESOME and we're at 7000 miles and counting.... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D


The 2012 RT L was similar in terms of shop time....very few issues / shop time with that Spyder as well! :thumbup:

Going to the dealer on Aug 19th for the rear tire change to a Kumho Ecsta AST -- probably be a 2-3 hour shop time for that! I have arranged with the dealer to use a demo while they work on the Spyder again! :2thumbs:

[Y-me]

I think its ridiculous that I am waiting a month for an exhaust tube.


2 1/2 weeks, waiting for parts. Dealers cannot stock everything, and getting parts from BRP is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock.

[flaggerphil]

Two days when it wouldn't start once on a Saturday and the dealer had it over the weekend until they could fix it on Monday. Other than that, never more than 3 hours.

[bullant12]

3 weeks in the shop for clutch rebuild (2010 RT in 2011). Dealer had to wait for BRP approval because Spyder only had 3400 at the time, then it took a whole week just to get parts.
No more than 2 days here and there with the 2013 and all warranty (Service Bulletins and a bad engine kill switch)!:thumbup:
