Brakes

[jtoro1]

Hey you spider pro's my brakes are very soft. I have a 2009 RS and the dealer say's that all I need to do is a brake fluid flush only takes about 3hr to complete. I have almost 11,000 miles on my spyder so for this service cost will be app $400.00. Is this a rape job?? Also where can I find the for sale section on spider lover's needing some highway pegs and a trailer hitch??

I have done the brake fluid change 2 times you do not need the buds you can do it like a car ,it is easy

Brake fluid should be changed every couple of years and that's the same for your car or truck as well.

If they have the machine that flushes the fluid, takes about 15 minutes

If their gravity draining it might take hour or longer

Talked to a certified BRP tech at a dealer in SC about brake fluid change. He said it is one of the tasks that no tech likes to do because of the time and intensity of the task. BUDs is required to verify the correct system pressure and sensor operation. It does take two people and at least three hours. It was done on my wife's 2010 RT and cost $300.00. That was labor and materials (brake fluid).

What makes the brake system on the spyder any different than any other modern day car with abs and vss?
