Having problems is one thing, having problems and having the manufacturer turn their back on you is another. Every vehicle I have ever owned has had an issue or a recall of some type. Every...

:banghead: If my experience and others out here is any example, you just may have been totally screwed! Im really sorry and unfortunately it sounds like you had no opportunity to really ride this...

That is the best decision you may have ever made. You just saved yourself from a potential nightmare.

Well the debacle continues!!

It has now been 6 months my spyder has been in the shop. The dealer said the last part was to come in last week and well it did on the 19th. Unfortunately it was not...

UPDATE - I have been waiting since late July for back order parts. Dealer called yesterday and bearings they need are backordered to mid September. This will be 6 months before they even fire it up...

Dealer made the comment about seeing this clutch explosion on SE-5 as well. FYI

Well BRP was watching this thread and reached out to me to get more details a few weeks back. I told Natasha the whole story. I gave her the 3 CALL-ID's i had for customer service, talked to her...

I have spoken with customer service. I called myself after the dealer told me about the slow walking issue. This was after I raised a little hell being 3 months in.
- first time I called, gave them...

There were no indications of any issues. The clutch seemed perfect at the time, until it wasn't. I had never had any slipping issues or shifting problems. It went from good to nuclear instantly.

Some photos from the dealer on what was left of the clutch components. I am pretty disappointed and have reached out to Carlo. I am also thinking about reaching out to legal...

Back in April my Spyder completely went nuclear. Now I am not a mechanic, but I like to think myself a pretty logical person. Best the dealer can tell is the clutch suffered catastrophic failure when...

Thanks for the post, I was at 4 clicks and catching only 50% of the time. Im now at 3 clicks with solid engagement.

Had to go for the big nut and adjust the arm a tad as the minor adjustment was...

I have no idea what clip you guys are talking about. I think I missed something. Does somone have a photo?

Before I even read the post from Way2fast and the subsequent "take it to another thread rhetoric" response, I thought of the DPS issue and said a prayer for the ryder.

Not to be insensitive, but...

Yeah your right, why would we want to even remotely consider a design flaw which has almost killed several members of this site when someone flys off an onramp. That would be completely out of place...

i guess we will have to wait and see if it happens a few more times, then just maybe, it might be the time to talk about it. Or we can just sit around and bitch about who did or didn't get a 5k...

whatever you use, be careful with the power washer! knocked the black paint right off of mine with justa quick touch at the car wash. I replaced it with TBR though so no worries.

IT what else is there. :ohyea:

This is a free online petition. Just need some word smithing and a new thread to post it in.

I will sign for sure. Luv my spyder, but have every reason to believe that BRP is never gonna recall...

Well I called the dealer and got it on order yesterday. One full mirror assembly with light and wiring is running about $167.

No fun!

It did pretty good. The only really tough thing was unplowed main streets. You can stradle those tire tracks, but that rear tire has to ride in the middle on the rough stuff.

Thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated.

So after a few breaths and a cold one I go down to the garage and have a run at the other mirror. Figured I need to know how many I should order!...

Well I got the Kewl Metal mirror extensions last week and the Kurykan ISO grips and I decided today to go ahead and do the install.

All started out well, with a little grunting and some elbow...

Same here, with so many positions available I adjust with the shield-on to see what I am dealing with.

This setup is great and was a big improvement over the stock. Just getting the wind off of...

Well I got my call today and though there were a lot of reasons why they did not call me or write me back (e.g. they have issues sending to gmail, there processing system blew my phone number out of...

I just did a search for spydersnest.com here and to my horror i found the following closed thread.

Nitto NT 450 was the last tire I bought before going to the Toyo Proxes 4. I had it on my wifes grand prix and all though it had good traction and nice tread pattern the sidewalls had a lot of flex...
