    Default Just watched the flatbed take her away.

    Well, I hate to say it but the fun lasted about 150 miles. Last night I started the bike and I could hear a grinding noise near the bottom of the motor housing. I took a video of it and sent it to my dealer today. They sent it to BRP and they think the cam belt tensioner is bad. So... off she went to the Spyder hospital.

    For anyone interested in the noise, here is a link to my One Drive share:

    EDIT: My fellow Spyderlovers... the last thing I wanted to do was make any of you worry. I promise I will update this with every bit of information I get. My F3 was the first delivered from my dealer and I know that the service manager will stay on the case. Especially after I tell him about the responses to this post.

    Thanks, when the transmission blew out on my 2010 RSS, it took 25 days to get the replacement parts. I hope this gets done a bit faster.

    I think they build my bikes on drunk Friday at the Can-Am factory. So far I am 2 for 2. At least when the first bike broke, it was in September, not at the beginning of the season like now.

    Well now I am starting to feel bad. That is three of us, in a two hours old post. I wonder if any of the RT guys have this and don't hear it because of the Tupperware? I feel like the harbinger of ill omen!

    I know what you going through, I have a lot of trouble with my 2011 RS-S SE5. In about 4 years I lost I almost 48 weeks of usage due mostly to parts. Here in Georgia almost I can almost ride year round. I only have 17,500 miles on the Spyder. Good luck.
