Oil leak !!!

And all this Jibber Jabber over the inconvience of a minor oil leak !!!!! :chat:

 

[Bob Denman]

they have at least 1 BRP trained (and paid by BRP not the dealer) tech at each dealership that sells their products. He can give real time feedback to headquarters and accurate answers to customers. Obviously this may cost them money but they may be able to rotate them around 1 week at a time. For example we have 5 dealers in SC assign at least 2 regional techs that spend at least 1 week a month at each one of them. I am sure the dealers are up for free tech work. The dealers could advertise what weeks they will be in town. It is up to BRP to restore confidence not dealers who could care less. Most OEM vehicle builders have regional reps.

And that'll cost HOW much? Are they covered by the dealership's Worker's comp coverage; or BRP's? (Which is from Canada...)
I LIKE the idea of roving experts; but it needs to have some more questions figured out, before answers can start piling up... :2thumbs:

THIS COULD HAVE SOME INFLUENCE

Why do you keep promoting dealer loyalty Bob? It sure seems to me most are plain scumbags for BRP. If you buy a car you can go anywhere in the country to get it fixed and odds are they will do it correctly the first time and will not give you crap about where you bought it simply because it does not matter. A dealer is a dealer period and even asking if you bought from them is offensive and something BRP needs to stop. It simply should not matter. Anyone who says it should or can is simply wrong it is BRP's responsibility to police it's dealer network to provide the best service experience available. That is my opinion and I am sticking with it do you hear me BRPCares (Steve). Do you care about us?

:gaah:....Dave , I'm with you on this one ......Here is a short answer, Dealers may not be Happy if you don't buy from them because ............"THEY MAKE APPROX.$ 4000 TO $ 6000 + IN EACH NEW SPYDER " they sell..................MSRP, is a joke .....Mikeguyver :thumbup:

What's wrong with the dealer making money on the sale? :dontknow:
They're the ones who've invested their money in the risky powersports market... :shocked:

No leak on my 14 RTL, 2500 miles, and I check daily for oil spots. Last week while checking for any drips, I noticed oil under my wife's almost new Ford Explorer. Two quarts to top off for trip to the dealer and half day in the shop. Tech found that the filter and oil plug had not been properly tightened in the factory. Charged for oil change. I said the serenity prayer and moved on to more important things. Group club ride to dinner. Relax and enjoy my friends.

How would you have read your very own CAPITALIZED statement? :dontknow:

 

[ulflyer]

ALL THESE REPORTS OF LEAKS.......

[:banghead:/QUOTE]

Only a hand-full got past the dealerships early on. If there's been any recent ones most likely it was the dealer who failed to make the very minor repair before it was sold. Mine was "fixed" even tho it never leaked a drop.

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

capitalized ?????????

How would you have read your very own CAPITALIZED statement? :dontknow:

:gaah:..:lecturef_smilie:..:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:....Bob do you know the difference between CAPITALIZATION and large print ? ? ? ........Mikeguyver :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: And what does the print size have to do with the content of what was being said ? ? ?..........Apples to Oranges , ! ! !:nopic:

 

[Bob Denman]

THEY MAKE APPROX.$ 4000 TO $ 6000 + IN EACH NEW SPYDER

When I was in School; these letters would have been considered as "Capitalized"...

The initial statement that caught my attention

A nd I never ever ever said there was anything wrong with a dealer making a profit ..........I don't know why you read into the the things that arn't said Bob.....:gaah:....Mikeguyver :thumbup:

An apparent contradictory statement...

:gaah:..:lecturef_smilie:..:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:....Bob do you know the difference between CAPITALIZATION and large print ? ? ? ........Mikeguyver :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: And what does the print size have to do with the content of what was being said ? ? ?..........Apples to Oranges , ! ! !:nopic:

Do you re-read any of your prior posts?

And I do believe that when your statements are viewed in their entirety; your intent as regards their meaning becomes perfectly clear...

 

[Bob Denman]

Mike,
Unlike you; I just can't grab a hunk of wood and an old beer can tab, and whittle out a transaxle for a Cobra... :bowdown:
But I DO know words; you're in MY ballpark now! :thumbup:

 

[Magdave]

Time for some Ice Cream will Bruster's do? :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

Do the have Rocky Road?? :2thumbs:

 

[ARtraveler]

:agree: also. I think its time for some ice cream. The thread about an oil leak has taken a southerly turn. Let's get along, keep it going about oil leaks if necessary, and not get into a fight over other things.

I have not had a problem with mine, so did not say much in here.

New Oil Leak

ALL THESE REPORTS OF LEAKS.......

[:banghead:/QUOTE]

I have a recent one, oil leak that is. And, it ain't from the "screw" where most of the reported leaks have been. My leak is from the oil tank that's on the rear of the motor (as diagnosed by my dealer tech). Dealer ordered parts needed to fix, parts came in, dropped bike off on 7 Jul, tech started disassembly (motor has to be removed) and discovered tranny needed to be removed to get oil tank off (service manual did not so state), more parts needed to be ordered, those parts ordered 9 Jul and received yesterday, 15 Jul, work will not be completed this week.

See my post (Spyder-less for Awhile) in the 1330 forum with pictures.
