Can Am Spyder F3 waterpump failure

[Tazzel]

so I finally got my Water Pump replace in October 2015 and have ridden it about 30 times since with no problems. The last time about 2 weeks ago. Finally a nice day in Colorado today, pulled my F3 out from the garage and there was a CD size pool of Coolant that had leaked. Can not tell where its coming from this time. Now the question is, was it just run off due perhaps of an over fill by the Dealer and as the temperature dropped to almost 0 degrees and then back up to 60 degrees is it just over flow reacting to the temperature?

The coolant level is still fine. The only thing a guess is to report my concern to the dealer and keep an eye on it until I can have the dealer take a look at it.

Dealer had to replace main wiring harness and water pump with less than 3k.

Water Pump

I just had my 2015 F3s SE6 go into Hi heat mode while idling in my driveway. Found coolant low after it cooled down. When I replaced the coolant I found leaks at the water pump. It only has 2600 miles on it. Dealer will look at on Friday. I have to call triple A to get it there. I hope I don't miss the summer with this. Bye the way I have the Best warranty on the bike.

I'm not sweating a damn thing with my F3s. If it turns into a mechanical nightmare like my Harley was I'll sell it for what I can get and run back to Honda and beg for forgiveness. If I had to wait till October to ride my bike again it would be gone like a fart in the wind and I would bash Can Am every chance I could. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. My thoughts.

Spare Parts

Great, Dealer called to say Waterpump on back order until end of October (at least). For now I have a 20k+ paper weight. Now that's a great way to run a business, no spare parts!!!

I have a 2012 RT-SE5 that recently required replacement of the multifunction display. $1065, I was told, and wouldn't 'ya know, the dealership's parts department didn't have any of those in stock, either. And none available evidently from nearby dealerships. So that had to be ordered from BRP. I had thought, hopefully, it was just a loose connection behind the display, easily and inexpensively repaired. I told the finanancial institution that was kind enough to finance the Spyder, that they had a financed vehicle that was going to spend the rest of the year on a battery tender, as it couldn't be used. So they came up with a check for the dealership for the new part and the labor. $961.02 for part and labor combined with the veteran's discount.

water pump

My water pump was replaced on Friday. I looked at the old one and it was leaking around where the top hose goes in. It looks like the thermostat is built into the water pump housing where the top hose goes into it. Not good if you just need to replace a thermostat. Pump cast 249.99. 2 hours labor. I'm glad it was under warranty.
