• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Moto Cafe is no longer a Can Am dealer I found out today (Bummer) So who has experience with the dealers in Hayward or Livermore? Lodi is a little far for routine service.

thanks

2014 RT Service

I receintly bought a 2014 RT and it needed some service work done on it. When I called the clostest dealer, Hayward, they told me they have an on call factory technician. When I questioned the service manager about there technician he told me how hard it was to work on Spyders and suggested that I take it further down the road. That would be I guess Livermore. I don't think I would have it serviced at Hayward for now. I don't have any experience with the dealer in Livermore. I eventually had it taken to Lodi and was very happy with there work.
 
thanx for the info

On call tech? Sounds like Haward is out. I guess I will try Livermore. I also liked Lodi, just a little far for me (about 100 miles)
 
Elk Grove Powersports

I know several Bay Area Ryders travel all the way to Elk Grove to have Forrest and Larry work on their Spyder. You also can't go wrong in Lodi. We are blessed with three Greta dealers in our area including Twin Cities in Roseville.
 
Elkgrove Powersports

ElkGrove is the best place to go. It's definitely the place to go. It's an 1 1/2 hour drive for me and I pass another closer can am dealer just to have ElkGrove Powersports work on mine.
 
Elk Grove Power Sports

I haven't had anything done on my Spyder at Elk Grove Power Sports but did stop in and visit with them and was impressed by their dealership and personal. I understand they have two really good techs there. Its a little further for me and I really don't like riding through Sacramento. It would be my second choice. Lodi is a lot more plesant ride for me. My speedometer just turned 2000 miles, if the weather stays like it has been lately and I can't keep off of it, i'll have to go back by the end of the month for the break-in inspection.
 
Elk Grove Powersports

I too, took my Spyder RT to Elk Grove. Long drive from Sonoma County coast but it was worth it. They have a small waiting room with TV and the catering truck that parks near there is excellent for lunch. Will be going back for my next tune up.

Service

I am from San Jose, motor cafe didn't have the best service.

I started doing all the oil changes myself and in case of a dealer need I will go all the way to Elk Grove.

It is about time that BRP will have a local service, I talked with GP sports and they told me BRP requested way too much money to become a dealer.
