And so it begins (998's beware)

Hi Gene, You made me nervous I only have 14k on my 12 but I thought I would check. My service manager said Bring it in we will do anything you need done. She said that a few parts for 12 are not OEM available but they are parts not usually asked for Trailer hitch parts was what she mentioned. I asked if she had heard about maybe BRP announcing an end of life for a certain part she said no.. I live 12 miles from where the engine is cast and we ryde with some BRP employees maybe I will ask them if I can remember to....

You are lucky and should not worry. Hang on to this dealer and aftermarket parts will still be around for some time....:thumbup:

I don't know that it is all that bad. I don't think there are many, if any, Can-Am dealers that carry much in the way of Spyder parts. I really don't think that is a change, to any real degree. I get OEM Spyder parts for customers on a fairly regular basis. Plus parts for my 2008 GS. I haven't gotten every part, of course. But a fair spectrum. They almost always need to be ordered in. But that usually takes about a week. And I've yet to have a part that I could not get.

Eventually, I'm sure these older Spyder parts will be rare. But I don't think we are there just yet.
