Looking at 2014 Rt out of warranty

[Godlover]

I'm looking at a low mile (less than 4000) 2014 Rt-S that is out of Warranty. I had the DESS issue on my F3 so my concern is the same issue with the 2014. What does it cost to upgrade the DESS system and is it something I can do myself? Thanks.

I have 24,000 on my 2014 RT-S. Never had a DESS issue or a major glitch that needed warranty work. :thumbup:

Does the 2014 RT-S still have the B.E.S.T warranty in force?

I know you are not addressing me, but I got 2 free years of BEST with my purchase and I am good to go until 4/2018.

No, he bought it in February of 2015 and did not get an extended warranty. So, I would not have a warranty.

If you are looking to purchase a 2014 RTS that is still under warranty until February 2019 give me a shout.

I purchaed my 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5 preowned in 2016. It now has just over 23,000 miles. I've just paid for a new multifunction display, as the one in there, died on me. Can I purchase a BEST warranty at this point?

DESS ISSUE - POSSIBLE FIX

I'm looking at a low mile (less than 4000) 2014 Rt-S that is out of Warranty. I had the DESS issue on my F3 so my concern is the same issue with the 2014. What does it cost to upgrade the DESS system and is it something I can do myself? Thanks.

The module part costs about $ 135.00 ( PROCALIBER.COM - register for FREE and get discounted prices ) ... I moved my Module last year so it could be re-placed in 5 minutes if necessary ...... and you can do this in advance also if you want ......... the frunk must be re-moved to get to the module ........ it's attached to the " firewall " just above and to the left as you face the frunk area ..... it un-bolts , as does the harness wiring and plugs ..... I moved the Module ( there is more than enough wiring to do this ) to just under the right front headlight and bolted it ( using the OEM holes in the module ) to the lip ( where it's not visible with the hood closed ) ..... this location provides plug & play ... just in-plug old and plug in new and it's ready to go ..... Option " B" is to have the Module ....DIS-CONNECTED from the system .... JC Thorne can explain it, or Joel-the- Biker ......... good luck ........... PS the new location has NOT caused any issues ..... Mike :thumbup:

You CAN get a warranty if desired. It wouldn't be a B.E.S.T. warranty, and might cost a bit more. Friend-o-mine just bought a 2011 RT from our dealer, and was able to buy a warranty for it, but I don't know the details.

When I traded up to my NEW machine, I bought a non-B.E.S.T. warranty for roughly an equal price. I chose it because it's cancelable/refundable whenever I might trade again. Instead of being stuck with losing any unused portion of the B.E.S.T. warranty. :banghead:

I purchased my 2014 RTL in March of 2015 and it came with a 3 year warranty (expires 4/30/18). If you are purchasing from a dealer they should be able to tell you if it's still under warranty, if not try calling BEST at 866-477-1415 with the VIN to determine if it is still under warranty

Another option:
The DESS can be disabled. You just need to find someone with a Master LIcense to play around with BUDS, and a willing attitude. :thumbup:
There are several of them in here!

Be
very careful with service plans other than the OEM BEST. They have a very lack luster history of denying claims, filing for bankruptcy and otherwise just separating you from your money with very little return.

I have a very early production 2014 RT and couldn't be happier with it. It has (so far) very trouble-free with about 35k miles on it. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the lack of warranty, I'd be more concerned about a good shop near you should work be necessary.
