 40K miles so far - how many miles will a 1330 engine RT last?
In three years, I've put 40,000 miles on my Spyder, and I'd like to keep it running dependable for another 40-60K miles before I have to buy a new one.
I'd like to find out the experience of others in dependability and longevity after the first 40K miles for RT's with the 1330 engine.
2020 RT Limited in the ultra cool Deep Marsala Dark edition.
Baja Ron Anti-Sway Bar, LED reflectors, Lamonster USB Charger (and phone mount), Can-Am Low Windshield, X-Creen Tour Variable Windscreen Spoiler Blade, Power Commander, Dilithium powered Flux Capacitor (not yet fully functional).

LONGEVITY ? ? ?
Well it's a Rotax, so I think that's a plus. It's triple , a +, no valve adjustments, a +, and this engine is very under stressed from what I've read about it. So I think 200,000 +, without major surgery ........ jmho..... Mike

97,000 miles now but leaving in a week for a 5,000 + mile trip followed by a 1,000 then a 3,000 so by May 5th I should have 106,000. Then in June another 5,000 + to Valcourt. 2014RT-S SM6 with virtually no issues in 3 years. Does that answer your question?

I have read about your travels, but I never knew that it was a SM6. Are you still on your original clutch? That was my biggest concern about the spyder.

You were, of course, right there when we bought this one in Henderson (my wife, Jen, says hello). Great to hear you're in the 100K range.
Just to clarify my question in general, I'm not asking specifically about the engine, as about the entire Spyder. (I just used the 1330 designation because it covers everything from 2014 forward, as they are generally the same design).

How many belts? Plugs? Brake fluid and coolant changes? What oil at what frequency? What tires? Other incidentals....
Sorry, not a hijack attempt -- I just wonder how you did it!

Just traded the wife's 15 RT-S SE6 at 43+
on a 16 F3T. After a clean bill of health and a week on the dealer's floor, it's been sold to the new owner and going to be enjoyed for many more miles.

I have 51,000 miles on my 15 RT, so far only repairs tires
and brakes and one air bag. Seat starting to rip probably repair or replace soon. Have not replaced pulley yet, told it was good for another 10,000 by the Can Am mechanic.

I have a 2015 F3-S SE6 1330 with just over 92000 miles. Only problem I've had is the front sprocket.
God bless those who serve/served our country!

As far as I know. No one has worn out a 1330. Nor have I heard of a 998 being worn out for that matter. Take care of a Spyder and it will take care of the rest.

you should have no problem reaching your goal ....
see above...and Ann does most of those miles pulling a loaded trailer...
. Just a reminder that up until SpyderAnn's post #24 from back in what, March 2017, this thread had gone nearly 6 years without a post....
