About five days ago in Florida, I noticed the top clamp for the Clutch lever assembly had a crack in it. The lever and master cylinder weren't moving so I figured I would replace it when I got back home to Charlotte this week.
Well... Left friend's house this am, and clutch lever was flopping around. Went back, tightened it up enough to use and found that Extreme Propulsion was the only Can Am dealer open on Monday. Also, they were on my way to the Smokie Mountains, so they were ideally located. They are about 30 or 40 miles north west of Atlanta.
When I got there I met D.K. Ledgerwood while he was talking about a Spyder with a customer. I spent the next hour talking to that same customer. I think he is going to buy the RT.
Well, D.K. was able to scavenge the part for me and send me on my way. He took the VIN and my info. Not sure BRP will cover under warranty or not as BRP was closed today. He is trying to get just the part that is the top clamp... If not he needs to order the whole assembly which may run $70+ at cost. So he has my credit card # just in case.
D.K. saved my behind today. I was going to divert direct for home on the interstate if I couldn't get a part. There was no way I could run the Smokies with a flaky clutch lever. This is the second dealer on this two week tour that came through for me and got me on my way fast. :bowdown:
Many thanks D.K. if you log on and read this. :2thumbs:
Tom ( Musicarcade), here is another dealer to add to the reputable list!
As a side note... That part is cast. It broke apart like good old pot metal.
