    Default Kill switch up date

    Well after 1 month and 2 days the are done. They replaced the switch. Left the dealership and about 20 miles away almost lost right side cover. Stopped and put it back on. Noticed left not put on right. Well another 20 miles and noticed right mirror loose. Snapped it back in place. I've already complained once and now again. Guess time to find another Spyder service department. By the way this is Hattiesburg Cycle. The service manager is a nice guy.

    I would start by recommending that you talk with Hattisburg first. Maybe the mechanic was having a bad day. They cannot fix something if they do not know about the complaint first. That being said, mirrors and side panels should not be on the verge of falling off after serviceing.

    Let us know what happens.

    Default Sorry to hear..!!

    would speak to the dealership. They should have a check list prior to delivery of a serviced roadster. I'm sure they know about this problem as well. Let them know. But glad they got your problem solved..!!

    Wow a month to replace a kill switch I will be getting mine replaced as soon as I can get it in to the shop. The tech said it would take him about 4 hours. The switch is wired all the way to the ignition system on the left side. I my case the switch will not turn off the .

    Mine is/has been a month to replace the throttle position senser, it takes about 1/2 hr and my brike broke down in their lot, lol... They just plain don't give a sh.., why should they, next nearest dealer is another 75 miles away. I sure hope we get one in Bellingham, it is ripe for a dealer ship as we have lost honda and harley this year.

    That was the reason for kill switch was replaced. Service manager did say they were hiring 2 more mechanics.

    Where do you think the next best option would be? I'm due for a service. I definitely don't think I want to take mine to Jackson. I've been in there several times and they don't even act like they can spell spyder much less work on it. Baton Rouge maybe?? What's your thoughts?
    I've heard Linda with Brookhaven Honda has been approached a couple of times about carrying can am and she is considering. Sure would be nice.

    Are you talking about the one by the airport? I've been to the one in Demin Springs and wasn't impressed. Would be nice if Linda would start selling them. Mechanics there are pretty good. Maybe with the 2 more mechanics in Hattiesburg they may straighten up. Service told me they are 2 weeks behind.
