I agree. I was under the impression that BRP rotors do not warp that easily as relayed to me by the dealership as they claim they were told by BRP, however, we know how that goes.......

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.
Brake Caliper, or rotor problem?

You are very correct, Sir, and I must apologize to all that have offered advice. Thanks very much. Everything is appreciated. Guess I got caught up in my own personal feelings about this.
I am quite mechanically capable of performing all of the necessary procedures to replace the parts. Just did all of this on my Ford truck during the past two days. I was just stupidly expecting BRP to admit some fault and offer to fix the situation. Guess I have too much faith in these corporations................

THANK YOU FOR YOUR THANK YOU
Arnie , all's good. And I commend for your response to my somewhat terse comment ( it was not said to offend )... I just feel that it appears a considerable number of people here that ask questions often ( not you ) don't feel it's proper etiquette to acknowledge the folks who read this board and take the time to assist if they can..... jmho .....

So, today, the dealership offered to give me a loaner Spyder until Wednesday, when they expect that parts to be in and the work completed. That part was a shocker.
I also questioned the service rep more closely and he agreed that it really was probably not necessary to replace both rotors, so after applying a dealer labor discount for buying the unit there, the cost dropped somewhat, although, I still wish it was all covered without all of this crapola.
The offer of a loaner until the repairs are completed also lessened the pain a little, but still....
I did fire off another e-mail to BRP regarding their e-mail to me explaining their point of view on the mileage and "unknown conditions under which the unit was ridden" comment. I emphasized the potential safety issues with braking concerns. i still await a return comment. So, til then, thanks to all who have offered advice and information. You are a great group of people.

DEALERS
Very glad to here you are at least getting some reduction in cost ..... and they'll never know this... But, if I got a loaner from them it wouldn't have ANY tread on the rear tire .... I'm not suggesting that you give THAT any thought :lecturef_smilie: :gaah:............... Mike :thumbup:

just did the brakes on my 2014 STL. Two rotors and pads from Ron - $300.00 total. I also did the rear so that was another $50.00 for the pads. The front took less than an hour, the rear was about another hour. My bike had about 32,000 miles on the old brakes.

So, the final result of this is, that the manager of the dealer has determined that both left and right rotors and pads need to be replaced, because of possible safety and liability concerns. They attempted to convince BRP to cover the repairs, but with negative results. I also sent BRP another "stern", but civil, e-mail relaying my dissatisfaction with their final response, in spite of their conclusion that this rotor warping issue is indeed a rarity.
Guess I need to start dragging my feet to stop from now on to avoid any further future damage.......:sour:

Hell must have frozen over last nite..........
I went to the dealer today to pick up my Spyder, pulled out my credit card as the service manager got the paperwork. He then says that there is some news. BRP contacted them early today and decided that would cover the cost of the entire job, since it was indeed an oddity of the rotor warping so soon. Of course, I was thrilled to no end. The dealership also washed the bike and treated all of the black trim with conditioner. Looked as new as the day I bought it.
I'd like to think that my e-mail to BRP last nite might have had something to do with their change of heart. :shocked:
