They still have no idea what's going on with the other one. Everything Can-Am tells them to do won't work! They said reset the stability system and then check it but the system won't reset! Factory is sending a tech!

Sure hope they take that bike back down to Canada, Eh? Disassemble it for research and never let it get back into the hands of any poor unsuspecting consumer.....

This sounds a lot like a Tom Clancy novel, the start is subtle, suddenly turns into a struggle that continues to the finale, and ends well for the hero.

Thanks and happy for your fortunate outcome!

Done deal! Papers signed and the check for registration and such is in my hand! The replacement bike is ours!

:congrats:

I hope you'll keep us updated on the old one.

Very glad that noone was hurt...

in this sad event. But, I learned from a politician that "politics is the war of who gives up last" and I have used that principle over time to get a satisfactory resolution. Taking names, getting dates and numbers is wise and it sounds like all of this was done and led to a happy Spyder Ryder. Glad you didn't give up on a Spyder!

Glad it turned out right for you! However, for you and/or anyone else having any service issues at all, I would suggest you demand a printed copy of the BUDS report before leaving the dealership. That way in case things don't start going right, you'll have written proof of what was going on with the bike. Documentation with dates and times carries a lot of weight.

To my semi-trained mind, there couldn't actually be over 50 things wrong with the bike. The computer went bad, telling the bike to do weird things, which was causing the problems that it was then reading and storing, so wouldn't a new computer be the way to go for a fix? (Not saying to fix it and you should take it, just what BRP should suggest to the dealer)

"It's very strange. We've never seen anything like this before."

I've heard it before and think it's more commonly used by dealerships than we think.

Did you get any updates about the troubles on the other trike??
