BRP refuses to pay dealer for warranty repair

If the oil leak is the one where the oil drips on the black plastic scoop on the right side, that's a given. I think we are all experiencing that, at least every rider I have ever met. It is nothing to worry about, and it does come from your breather box. Your tech should know this.

The breather box does seem to be a given. However I had to have both head gaskets replaced with less than 9k miles because of them leaking.

I still have the problem with the bike going forward without throttle. I have about 2400 miles on it. It has been in the shop for about two weeks now for an oil leak. I told the tech oil is in the air box. After 2 weeks, he tells me oil is in the air box and he doesn't know why. I already knew that. I am contacting BRP customer service again. I've owned this bike since October 31,2008, roughly 3 months, it has been in the shop for about 1 month of this time. The dealer I purchased this bike from has since lost their dealership, so no help from them. I hope BRP customer service is helpful. Last contact with them I was told they had no record of contact from the repair tech. I have a receipt from the repair shop showing reasons and length of time the bike was there. I was so excited to get this bike but I'm quickly becoming disappointed with the quality and service.

Not sure if it is a consistant problem. If it is intermittant, I have solved occassional high revving, and subsequent surging forward when stopped, by cutting the engine and restarting the bike while it is warm. The computer "resets" the idle. I noticed that when it happens it is usually when I take off before the bike is warmed up sufficiently

Very Happy

Lam, a great mechanic at Performance Motorsports in San Juan Capistrano, showed me the new oil pressure spring before he installed it to improve the SE5 shifting. He tested this new spring against the original, and it is a bit longer and quite a bit stronger---and I cannot believe the difference. I can out shift the clutch Spyders---it shifts smooth and quick without a sound---I've found out that timing of the shifts to the revs of the engine is very important---the better the timing between shifts, the better it works. Earlier, I read so many SE5 problems that it worried me----No more-----I love this electric shifts and the Spyder, and I'm have great confidence in it. I have a A+ dealer and mechanic-----Thank you, guys.

I have always held in the clutch on all my vehicles. That way I am ready when the light changes. It hurts nothing...it is what they were designed for. If you held it for hours at a time, you could overheat the throwout bearing, but a few minutes, intermittently, does absolutely no harm.

I do not believe that anything you can do at a light really prepares you to avoid an accident. Either way, you're liable to get walloped. If you watch the rearview mirror, to try to avoid a rear-end incident, you won't be watching traffic, and could easily pull into somebody's path when you react to what you see. If you don't react, you can get rear-ended. Either way, you lose.
