01/23/14 Build Date

[SpyRyd]

Contemplating the purchase of a 2014 RT Ltd with a build date of 01/23/14. Anyone have (or had) oil leak issues on your Spyder with the same or later build date?

Got a test ryde scheduled for next Tuesday...taking my checkbook. Whether I write a check or not depends mostly on what my dealer gives me for my 12 RT Ltd on trade-in. Love my 12 RTL...hope I can be pragmatic, but not sure if I can be after the test ryde (based on how much most rave about the 14).

I would say not to worry about the build date. If the :spyder2: is the color and model you want--go for it. It is the dealers responsibility to make sure that your new :ani29: drives off the showroom floor with any mechanical glitches fixed and no problems for you the buyer.

Have a friendly conversation with the dealer and make sure that they are aware of any and all bulletins to get your :spyder2: on the road. :thumbup:

My selling dealer took care of everything before I left the dealership, they even did the laser alignment. This was in the middle of January when I took delivery.

Engine and transmission were build and assembled on earlier date in the Rotax engine assembly plant in Austria.

I'll ensure my dealer does the same...except the LA...they didn't invest in the Outlaw/ROLO system...wish they had!

How do you get the Build date?????

have you even started yours yet?

Yup! No diesel here... I LIKE the sound! :thumbup:

How do you get the Build date?????

It's on the M.S.O. (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin), and is also most likely on your title to the bike...

 

[SpyderAnn01]

And I think the build date is also under the seat.

I was at my dealer today dropping off a few "improvements" that they're going to put on my RTL while they're building it.
While I was there I talked to my sales rep and asked him about the oil leak bulletin.
He pull up my Spyder, build date 02/03/2014 and no bulletin came up. Fixed at the source.
He pulled up one built in January and the bulletin came right up.
So this isn't something I'd be concerned with, if it hasn't already been fixed they'll know and will take care of it while putting that baby together!

Good Luck!:yes:

That's not encouraging...guess leak or no leak is somewhat of a crap shoot whether the bike is on the list of affected vins or not. Service bulletin was released 22 Jan 14 and BRP Care (Steve) posted that bikes with build dates after that date were fixed. Hope that is the case on the 14 RT Ltd I'm considering. Thanks.
