    Default Longest your spyder has been in the shop?

    Mines currently going on two weeks, dealer contacted BRP about it because they havent encountered this problem before, running really rich, fouled plugs, hesitating. And its been two weeks since i had it..no loaner spyder either i am also buying the comfort seat from them, but whats the longest youve had your spyder in the shop? I am hoping to get it back soon, although my girlfriend sat on the RT tonight and loved it, maybe in a year or so when there arediscounts on the 14...as much as i joked about the RT model, it just seems the best for everyday, and anytime riding.

    Mine spent about half of the 2013 riding season in the shop in several large stints, plus all of the winter, plus its been back a few times this year... though now they don't have me bring it in until they are able to work on it...

    So far I've had two new Gear Position Sensors, a new ignition system and a new throttle body....
    And they still can't figure out whats wrong

    2 weeks and counting - it's still there waiting on parts. 10 days to diagnose, rest for parts.
    Have a loaner, so OK by me. Put 5 tanks of gas thru the loaner.

    Default 2 Hours! However, rear tire change coming up later in August

    2 hours has been the longest time our 2014 RT L has been in the shop! It had it's first service and I got a demo to ryde while they changed the oil/filter and did the first service check. Plus I got a print out of the BUDS report!

    The 2014 RT L has been AWESOME and we're at 7000 miles and counting....


    The 2012 RT L was similar in terms of shop time....very few issues / shop time with that Spyder as well!

    Going to the dealer on Aug 19th for the rear tire change to a Kumho Ecsta AST -- probably be a 2-3 hour shop time for that! I have arranged with the dealer to use a demo while they work on the Spyder again!
    Happy and safe rydin'
