SE5 CLUTCH EXPLODED
On my way to Spyderfest yesterday, and while traveling down Interstate 35 north of Des Moines Iowa, my spyder lost power, pulled to the side of road in a HUGE cloud of smoke, got stopped and all the oil ran down the ditch. Two hours later, at a dealership for spyders, the mechanic gave me the BAD news. Whole engine needa to be tore apart to look for shrapnal ect, long process, Now what???? For sure no spyderfest, w2ould have been year 4. Any one else have this happen? Put this on wrong site, I have a 2012 RT.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Bob's right, try to rent one and continue the journey.
Hope you are covered under warranty.

Wow..!!
Many have had the clutch go out but not as bad as you explain. Would be interesting to see if they find what caused it. I know there are some weight differences but most just start to slip or cause shifting problems...sorry..

I can tell you from experience that Hicklin Powersports has taken care of me. Travis the head mechanic is very god and won't release a machine unless he is satisfied it's fixed. Lets hope they can get it fixed and back to you quickly.

BRP is definitely in the proactive mode right now ... get them involved. I'm not sure if it's a result of their Customer Service fiascos but they are definitely evolving their 'hands-on' approach and in a good way.
