Buying new 2023 RTL from dealer… any concerns from it sitting that long?

[Cbusdude14]

After they took it off the showroom floor a year or so ago, it’s been in a somewhat climate controlled outbuilding with other motor cycles. Cold in the winter, but not below 40°.
They agreed to put in a new battery and I have negotiated them into paying for the full first service at any Can-Am dealer. Among the items covered are: change the engine oil & filter, lube chassis & suspension, inspect the belt tension, re-torque lug nuts/axle nuts, inspect the idle speed, set the tire pressures, inspect the coolant, the brake fluid level, and run a BUDS report. It’s a couple of States away, and I plan on going out and trailering it home. Any thoughts on what items should be done before I take it home, or things to check since it’s sat idle for so long would be appreciated.
I've ridden for over 15 years, but this will be my first Can-Am. I am looking forward to it. I considered getting a 2024, having some of the updates, and not having to deal with these issues, but I know I’ll be happy with the 2023 and I get to save a decent amount of money as well. Thanks for any input.

If you're the 1st owner, you should get the 2 year factory warranty.

Yes, that is some peace of mind.

My thought would be to replace the battery, oil, filters, and any software updates. I think you are on the right track.

Are they replacing the battery with a new Yuasa or one of the cheap Chinese ones? If the latter, you should try to get them to replace it with a Yuasa YTX24HL-BS.

Make sure that the warranty has never been activated. Like maybe used as a demo.

I communicated with them about that being my preference but it was changed out earlier than I thought it was going to be with a parts unlimited battery.

I bought my ‘17 F3S Daytona 500 as a new, never titled, less-than-80-miles unit in April of 2022. Had been at a dealer somewhere in the western states for several years, then somehow ended up in Michigan for awhile before I bought it. Only reason I could see that it sat so long was it was a SM6 true manual shift. Dealer also somehow had possession of the color-matched rear cowl to replace the pillion seat, still in the original box with instructions! Did check the VIN at my local dealer (after purchase but before being shipped) and it in fact had the two year warranty. Did later also get the B.E.S.T. extended warranty, which will take my warranty all the way to 2027 on my ‘17 model - after which time it’ll be 10 years old and dealers probably won’t wanna touch it. Didn’t worry too much about all the fluids, because I was gonna change them myself, regardless. Selling dealer did have a new battery installed - am unsure of brand, but still serving well after 3+ years and 19K miles of my ownership. When I took it in for the front pulley update, had them check for any updates or recalls. In my instance, everything worked out quite well. Was pleased with my new old purchase. Still am!

That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
