Ten months old and 5th trip in due to failures.
1st trip day after picked up,bike due to wandering on the road. Told to loosen my grip after putting almost 30,000 miles on my RS. End result, recall for alignment.
2nd trip due to continued wandering. End result, bad ball joints.
3rd trip in due to VSS limp mode after several limp modes due to excessive heat issues. End result , fried brake switches due to extreme heat.
4th trip in due to BRP recall to place heat shielding. Bike still gets hot and can almost cook an egg where heat bellows out by handle bars.
5th trip will be this coming Saturday when dealer comes to pick up my Spyder. Did a ride to San Antonio last weekend for Texas Honor Ride. On way home had limp mode , turned bike off and let reset. This past Friday going to take bike to work but noticed a puddle of oil when I backed out the garage. Is this ever going to end?
i love my Spyder but this is unreal to have this many issues in less than a year. Purchased a 2014 Indian Vintage last weekend to be my primary bike for leisure. Will use the Spyder to ride across the street to check my mail and to the corner for milk only I guess. Really have no confidence in taking this bike on a long trip anymore. Not sure what the outcome will be. Only saving grace is my dealer is easy to work with and I know they will make good on BRPs faulty equipment. For everyone with a trouble free 2013, I envy you.
