Buds

Anyone have BUDS for their personal use? Is it worth the money?
My nearest Can Am dealership is 1.5 hours away.

The simple answer is; it all depends on what goes wrong with the bike. If you are not tech savvy, it maybe difficult to use. I've used mine for several years and found it paid for itself.

It can be if you are having issues with the Spyder. If the Spyder is running fine the BUDS just sits.

How I understand it. It is a yearly subscription 1-10 years. Is there not a backyard mechanic version or just dealer version of BUDS? Pretty pricey to get setup.

Find someone who has it in your area ? They maybe able to help. If not options are to by or go to the dealer.

Yes there is a year subscription for buds.

I have it and swear by it. But then, I do all my own work. For many items, it's really the only way to do them properly. Also, with a dealer license, you can hook to Seadoo and Skidoo machines.

I’m really considering buying BUDS. My wife owns the 15 RT Special. But I get to fix it. I figure it will pay for itself over time.

Just curious, How much does the 'Buds System' cost?
Can you do everything a dealership would be able to do?
Is there a dealer option/level only?
A customer option/level?
I have heard that 'Buds System' is mostly used as a dealer Tool, because of its yearly costs.....:thumbup:
