I'm now in the club...

[Pampurrs]

After 22,000 + problem free miles on my 2015 RT, I finally had a failure. My air ride suspension bag apparently had sprung a leak, and while I was unaware of the problem, my compressor burned itself out trying to pump it back up. My Spyder is now in the shop awaiting the parts needed to fix the problem. I'm told it will be about a week. Thankfully, riding season hasn't yet begun, so it will be a pain free week.
The Service Manager told me this would cost about $1,500.00 had it not been covered by the factory warranty, of which I am covered for another nine months. Whew! Thank Goddess for warranties! While I was there, I purchased the three year BEST warranty, which I feel is $660.00 well spent.
I have no complaints about this incident. I've had stuff break down on my two Honda Shadows, my Goldwing, and my Victory.... it's just part of the deal when you ride motorcycles. I still maintain that the Spyder is a great machine. My only minor gripe is that there are no D.C.s in the US, so they have to get the parts shipped from Quebec, thus the week wait.
Kudos to Ride Now in Chandler for getting me in immediately when I called yesterday, despite the fact that I purchased elsewhere.

Fortunately, my alternate mode of transportation is ship shape!

...But it can, and will be fixed soon!

Hang in there!

When do you start riding, I've only got 7 weeks left........

I ride all year long, but in the heat of the summer only very short rides, and mostly in the early morning or evening. Our prime riding season is from mid October through June. July, August, and September are the hottest months.

When does your riding season begin?

I have about 5 to 6 weeks left of riding :yikes: :gaah::banghead::gaah: :yikes: .

Maybe we will skip winter this year or have an other mid winter again!

When does your riding season begin?

Typically, mid October. Sometimes it cools down earlier... sometimes not until after Halloween.

No, it isn't. I tried the Nimbus, but got tired of all the DESS errors.

Riding season here is slowly coming to an end. By early November I have to park mine because of black ice on the roads. It has turned cool early this year. Leaves are changing and coming down. Expect them to be down by second week of September.

Still in the low 100's here in Las Vegas. 90's are starting to feel good.

Happy to hear it's under warranty. Good move buying the extended warranty. I plan on doing it also. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

We could add some lights and of course that looks like it could use an alignment too.

BEST Warranty

Hi Pam,
My :spyder2: has been trouble free but not big milage. Your air system failure has encouraged me to get the warranty. I do fear that my local dealer will not honor it---- I'll find out. OR do I get repairs done and them BEST pays the bill?? OR does BEST pay the dealer for the repairs after they (BEST) has determined if the repair is covered??
Any help on the waranty is much appriciated.

PS: Pam, I can port and polish that broom if it need a few more horsepower.

Bummer...

Sorry you hear but looks like things are in good hands...as for the alternative transportation, seems stopping by hitting the wall has taken it's toll...:roflblack::roflblack: Glad it still works...:thumbup:
