My friend just bought a brand new Spyder RT-SE-6 on Friday and was told by the dealer that the 1st maintenance and oil change was not until 10,000 miles ! is this correct?

3k for first service. Then every 9600-10k thereafter...Did he not get a manual? :yes:

 

[hill27]

no the first service is 3k check the manual it is all there.

The upside...the dealer did not say 600 miles like most have been saying.

As mentioned above, first service at 3000 miles, then at 12,300 miles (9,300 miles after first service), or once a year--whichever comes first.

Valve adjustment service is not required on the ACE 1330.

:congrats: on the new ride. :clap:

Really? :joke:

Sokay, my dealer is great but the finance guy still told me I would really enjoy the prepaid servicing package since valve adjustments were such a pain. I almost laughed.

I'm like ...man...I'm gettin the '14 cuz it doesn't have valve adjustments, I have do to 'em every 10 hours on my KTM....

Spyders just don't make up enough of the percentage of the typical powersports company's business for them to bother to train people properly. thank goodness its better than it was only a few years ago...

i think the dealers know better... but its money in the bank for them... so they are playing the part of a "blonde"...

 

[maliamd]

Find another dealer that knows something about Spyders.

But by the same token, the good dealers are high volume spyder sellers/sales.....so what comes first, great service or high volume? Thats an easy one..

Why can't people read the manual? Don't take anything for granted when someone at a dealer tells you something unless you know for certain they are knowledgeable on the product. I trust my dealer to the max, but they had to prove that they know what they are doing. I have walked into car dealers and know more than the sales people about a car. The best thing you can do is check something out for yourself. Let the dealer know they are wrong, in a nice way, if you have checked something out.

Tell your friend to download the owners manual and read what BRP says.
