Brake fluid corrosion...

[Yazz]

Did the bump test today. Had paper towels wrapped around the res caps.

Found out the rubber speed bumps behind the theater are a little too rough on the suspension for the speeds I was going.pps:

Rode around to the front of the building and went over the cement bumps. Lots of jostle without the jarring. Took the long way home going on rough roads, making aggressive turns.

At home, took out the paper towels and they were dry. Yay!!

Next week, off to the Dealer.

Well, Spydee has been in the shop for a little over two weeks now. The service manager has taken pictures of the corrosion and sent them to BRP for warranty work. He said it's a sandpaper and paint job but wants to hear back from BRP either way before they get started fixing her.

Thinking on getting Carlo involved in this. This isn't that difficult or expensive!

Spydee is coming home from the dealer on Thursday. They sanded out the corrosion and repainted. All work done under warranty. Also getting my odometer update done.

Glad I found a good dealer.:2thumbs:

Hi Joy. Glad to hear the dealer got the OK to do the work under warranty. That was a good catch on your part. How many miles did you have on your Spyder at the time you discovered the problem?

Spydee is a '09 with a little over 12k.

I would suggest to everyone, if you haven't already done so, take a peek at the break reservoir and make sure the vents are pointing to the back. If they aren't, look for corrosion.
