Well, I'm Selling My Spyder
3000.00 miles on it and I have nothing but trouble with it. From DESS to Hard Starting, Belt Runout, and a lot of little things hear and there. BRP
warrenty is usless. They don't want to back anything up. Really liked the F3, but it's in the shop more then I ride it. Looks like I am going back to
Harley Davidson. Well, you live and learn.

Bummer :banghead::banghead::banghead: ........ I feel your pain .......... But I would bet serious money, it's NOT the Spyder that's the problem ......... it's your DEALER ............ I've owned 3 Spyders since 09 and I know they aren't perfect. I'm not a mechanic, but I can do most maintenance. I've only been to Dealers for 6 things and it was almost all warranty work. What I didn't know or couldn't figure out - I could get help HERE from some INCREDIBLY helpful people, of course you have to know who has knowledge and who is giving SWAG :roflblack: ....... For some reason Spyders and Calif. Dealers aren't a good mix from what's been posted on this site :gaah:............. Sorry you had a bad experience , best of luck with whatever you ride - stay safe ............ Mike :thumbup:
Could not agree more with analysis

The problem that I have is that I am judging a dealers service department based upon the sales side of the building and a few smattering of reviews that I come across on the internet and really don't feel like I get a good sampling of what I consider the most important half of the building. I can deal with an idiot salesman because once its bought, he's gone from my life, but its the service side that will either make or break my Can-am Spyder experience in the long haul.
I agree 100% with what you have said here, maybe it would be good for BRP to throw some time into ensuring that their dealers are employing an adequately trained tech who is dedicated to work only on the spyder as part of their becoming a Can Am Spyder dealer .... this will surely go a long way in maintaining good customer relations, and who knows, when they send out emails to existing owners encouraging them to trade and upgrade, maybe they could get some takers.
