bike shut down while riding and not go into limp mode.and now have engine noise.

Oh I don't know. Lou doesn't do warranty work. BRP won't let him. Apparently he was taking too much business away from the dealers. Most of the guys in my club forgo BRP's warranty because Lou is worth every cent. NOBODY ELSE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH MY SPYDER.

So I was just trying to be nice and offering a trailering option.

Ah, I see. I didn't know the shop wasn't BRP cert'd. I thought I had missed a post about the OPs Spyder being out of warranty. Well, good of you to offer.

Someone sure needs to step up and help this guy.

I can't imagine the frustration...

I ask again. Where is BRPCare on this thread??

It is not that Lou isn't BRP trained. He was on the original design team. It is that the local dealers complained that Lou was "stealing" too much business. Lou is probably the best mechanic, in every way, that I've EVER met--bar none. But, hey, what do I know? I've been on this planet for only 64 years, so my experience is limited.

So Lou knows more, does better, charges less, and is seriously disliked only by the local dealers.

[SteveMac]

Didn't mean to imply that he wasn't "trained". I meant he wasn't "certified" to do warranty work. Or at least that's what I understood from your post. I'm sure he is an excellent tech. Not doubting your word on that.

Like I said, Good of you to offer help.

But we digress,,, What's really important is getting this guy some help. He has to be incredibly frustrated and this type of case is where BRPCare really is needed. Maybe be I am alone in feeling that way.

These type of situations make me cringe. I know for sure I would not be as "patient" as the OP.

Me neither. I'd be as mad as a nest of hornets in a pinata at a 12 year old's birthday party.

What was the outcome of this

What was the outcome of this

The original poster hasn't logged in since his last post on this thread on May 7, 2014. It would be nice to know the outcome. Surely the issue has been resolved one way or another by now?

I guess no one else cares? Wow. What a shame. Oh well, I guess things just changed here somewhere along the line.....

I bet if you called Malcome Smiths and asked Henry about it you could get the scoop.
If I am in there over the next week or two I will ask.

Thanks again to every on for all your sugestions and advise. To the last guy that told me about Lue I do know lue very well even when he had his shop in his back yard. He said the same thing that he pefered not to touch it and some of the things that are recal isues he cant do he has to charge you for it

The up date ; the machanic at malcome and service writher has been great they cleared up some isues with brp and now they are back on board 100 % and they found the prob (it spun the main crank bearings and waisted the entire bottom end ) Ouch and cost is about 5400.00 but tks to brp they have ben assisting and we should see just how much very soon they said it would be completed a few days ago but they wanteted to run some more tests and complete some of the recal and up dates at the sametime we should be geting it back any day The ? i want anwsered is why?????? did it happen and how do i prevent it if i can .

Big thanks to the guys at malcome smith and brp

I would think this failure would be covered by the warranty or was it out of warranty like they claimed at the first shop?

Chris,
I'm glad to hear that there is finally some progress being made on your bike!
A spun bearing? That's like getting hit by lightning, or maybe a runaway train... Not much can be done; if your number is up!
