    Default 2015 F3-S Advice

    I'm looking at a 2015 F3s with 6800 miles on it. Bike looks clean, but it's in texas and I'm in Tennessee. Is there anything specific that I should be looking for, or trying to avoid? How reliable are these generally speaking and would you recommend buying an extended warranty? Thanks!

    One thing to look for is red dust on the front sprocket. Its a 1 minute check and requires about 3 or 4 screws to be removed so you can see the sprocket behind the shield. If red dust is present there's a good likelihood of the sprocket failing. Other than that, just the usual, oil changes up to date, filters etc.

    Inquire of the seller when the Spyder was put in service. With a BRP extended warranty you only get five total years of coverage, generally two factory years and three B.E.S.T extended warranty. Third party extended warranties are a cash cow for the sellers and a crap shoot for the buyers. I wouldn't have anything to do with one.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Thanks for the information, the bike is being sent to a Can Am dealer today to have the belt and tensioner replaced due to belt damage. It will also be inspected for other issues. Hopefully the inspection goes well and I will be getting it next week.
