    Default Gas Cap Coming Loose - Anyone else run into this issue?

    I have a 2013 RT S and it constantly loosens itself. I twist it down until it clicks several times but at times I smell gas, open the seat and the cap twists open real, real easy and stops smelling once I tighten the cap back down.

    I don’t recall that particular problem happening to the Spyders, however BRP did have a recall on early machines where they replaced gas caps. I don’t remember what years were affected. I would definitely get a new gas cap ASAP. The last thing you want is for gas to spill out or gas fumes to build up under the plastic. You can get a replacement at an auto parts store.

    I had the same problem with my 2013 RT-S. I changed the cap to Stant part #10835. If you have a Pep-boys or Autozone near you their #11835. I changed the cap 1yr after buying my Spyder new and never looked back. Good Luck!
