    Default Oil Change in Valcourt

    Ok so in a few days we will be heading to the Great White North and the 10 year Anniversary. My wife will be ryding the 2013 RTL and our trip to Valcourt will be right at 3000 miles, so where can a guy get an oil change before heading home? Gotta keep the warranty in play! Any thoughts?? Maybe BRP will provide complimentary oil changes for anyone traveling 2000 or more miles to get there!

    Well I'm 110miles south of Valcourt ( 05660 )... on Rt 100 or you can take I-91 and go west to me , or come down I-89 and get off in Waterbury ( Rt100 ), then 6 mi. south to me ....... I have tools, ramps , a Pit etc. You bring your Oil ( of choice lots of places on the way down to buy evn on Sun . ) and you can do it my house Rain or Shine. If you come down on Rt 100 you can connect to Rt 108 & go through the ( famous ) Notch Road at Mt Mansfield ( makes the Dragon look straight )........... Mike

    I was wondering how they were going to deal with that metric oil if an oil change was necessary. Your solution solves it.

    Default BRP Dealer in Valcourt

    Hi everybody,

    Doing it yourself is a good way to go.

    But if you need a dealer near the event, there is one directly across the street where the event will be. My guess is that they will be really loaded on those days, but maybe you can call in advance to reserve a place.

    a quick search on the web will get you to
    Performance NC, Valcourt.

    If needed, there's also one in Sherbrooke (performance NC), about 20 minutes from there. And even one in Granby, also about 20 minutes but in the opposite direction.

    If you need more info, just ask. I'm located just between Valcourt and Sherbrooke...

    I am sure that they will extend complimentary service for those attending. It will be done following a donation of 300 USD or 450 CD!

    Default Oil Change

    If you need a dealer and want to stay with a stateside dealer, go to Walt's Sales and Service in Derby, VT, just 2 miles south of the Aut-55/I-91 border crossing in Derby Line, VT at 1972 Route 5, Derby, VT.

    The local Spyder dealer in Valcourt will be open all weekend during Homecoming for repairs and servicing. I recommend you call directly before hand to book a time for oil changes and service.

    Mario (GM) or Nicholas (Service Manager) are the right contacts. English may be rough but they'll take good care of you.

    I am staying in Binghamton, NY the day before I arrive at Valcourt. Your comment about Notch Road sounds like I should make a little detour and and take this in. Could you give a little more info as to which roads I should take. Thanks for the info.

    There are sooooo many ways to get there..... I would be typing for hours ...... Use Google maps from where you are to Stowe VT..... Rt 108 goes north past the Ski area to Cambridge Vt and Rt 15....... I did the " NOTCH " today and I think I broke my all time record run ...... there were zero cars ..... 90 degree's this early in May is very unusual ..... Mike

    Thanks I was on maps and had that road highlighted. Just making sure that I got the correct road so that I do the 'NOTCH'. Thanks again for the info and hope to run into you at Valcourt. Im staying in Sherbrooke at the Le Floral.

    Deb and I travelled that road many years ago. I think it was back in 1994. I think that is high time that we do it again. We will have to pick a weekend this summer and ride it.
