Need advice please

[wildbill1962]

My wife has a 2015 Spyder RT with less than 3,000 miles on it. Last weekend while out on a ride, she had the cruise on and all of a sudden it started to accellerate quickly on its own. It did this 3 times. Scared the heck out of her and everyone in the group. Its at the dealer getting checked, but they are telling us they cant find anything wrong because no codes are showing. Have tried to contact Can Am, but not getting much help from them. This is a very serious safety issue, and dont want my wife back on it until the issue is found and fixed.
Would be interested in hearing your advice, opinions and wisdom on this.
Thanks
Bill

hi bill
are we sure she didnt hit "resume" instead of "enter"...resume is the upward position and enter is downwards
if she hit resume the bike will accelerate to the last set position which may not be where you want to be
hope you get it sorted quickly

Thanks for the reply Russ. I thought the same thing the first time it happened. But the second and third time it happened, she had it set on 65, had been doing fine for a few miles. She had her hand just resting on the grip, not even close to the cruise button/resume button.
That made me rule out operator error.

Assuming that she was just crusing along when this happened. I have not had this issue with the Spyder, but did have that happen on my Harley. Turned out to be a bad Set/Resume switch and once I replaced that the problem was solved. It also scared the heck out of me when it happened!

Take it to your dealer, and have them give it a checkup on BUDS...

Yeah, sounds like a bad switch.

Only recall one other report like this and it was a few years back.

The claim was that it caused a crash.

We never heard back from the reporting party.
