I purchased a new 2014 RT Limited last year. I had to have it towed twice and major work done to replace hydrolic pumps, this year the gauges went again requiring big repair, the front trunk leaks. I only have 3500 miles on the bike. Does anyone own any Spyder that doesn't have issues? i joined this group and all i see is people having problems with their bikes, I go on facebood, same thing nothing but problems. Im very concerned because my Warranty will be running out soon. Me and my wife really enjoy riding, but you have to be a little nervious about what will happen next? Maybe I bought a lemmon?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
does anyone have a good one?

2014RTL
I have a 2014RTL which I bought early last year. I now have 15,000 miles on it, and the only thing that had a problem was the DESS issue. My dealer replaced the key module and now good to go. Bike has been great and ride it everywhere. Don't worry about what might go wrong, just ride and enjoy it.

We have a 2014 RTS with 25000 miles and have had no issues at all with the bike itself!
One of the add on's went out causing limp mode but it was a minor fix.
Hope to do the same with my F3-T.
Good luck with yours.

Mine has been charmed, no issues at all that were not caused by me or my actions.
keep reading there are plenty of posts about successful, proud and very satisfied owners. It is easy to get on here and listen to the complaints, it is also easy to hear a complaint when it is only a call for advice.

:agree:I have a 2014 RT that I purchased in Sept. 2014. I also have 15k miles and have only had the DESS issue. I allowed this to go on for a year. About 2 months ago I had the key module replaced, and have had no other troubles.

Perhaps in the clutch engagement system? :dontknow:
My 2011 RT-S required a throttle body under warranty and Mr. Cognac has had no problems. I bought him in Oct. 2014. My dealer threw in a four year warranty to seal the deal. He gave me a very good deal after I told him that if he mistreated me, I would call 1-800-AARP-KICKASS and they would send out some retired Mafia and take care of business.

I have a 2015 RT that I've had for a little over a year and have ridden 22,000 trouble free miles. You see a lot of posts here about people who are enjoying their Spyders. Sorry you are having problems, but once they get ironed out, you will be able to enjoy your Spyder.

What are you looking for
If you have issues and you come to this site looking for issues, we have a few members that love to whine about every little thing, but they usually leave real quickly. In this case you posted a negative thread, asking for positive input, and got it. The vast majority of Syder Ryders love their motorcycle. When we bought our 13 RTL I came on this web site reading about all of the issues with the 13 RTs catching fire. I could have gotten paranoid and thought it would happen to me too. I decide to ryde the wheels off of it instead. Now 31000 + miles and you can't wipe the smile off of my face. If I had believed all of the negative garbage, I would have sold that motorcycle and never ridden again. So my wife loves to ryde so much we just bought another Spyder and we love them both! I LOVE to watch her ryde!
In life you get what you look for! Get the issues behind you, and look forward to all of the fun you and your wife can have Ryding. Then come back to this forum with a positive outlook and you will be overwhelmed by how much fun 90% of our members are having! Who knows your wife may decide she wants her own Spyder real soon!:yes::yes::yes: (Nothing says fun like dancing wieners!)
Peace and safe Ryding!

The problem is you are hearing/reading from the few that have problems. You are NOT hearing from the thousands that do NOT have any issues. I happen to be one of those as I'm on my 3rd Spyder and can joyfully say I have NOT had any issues with any one of them??? Keep the chin up and ride on.

Get the extended warranty and ride on. You can purchase 3 years of coverage.

Let's see....
:agree: when you go to a doctors office /clinic /hospital, what do you find, mostly sick people with issues. Sadly, that is what sells. This site has an equal amount of good new, bad news, sad news, and you don't want to know news :roflblack: but you have to read it all. This site helps those with issues but you can not assume that those few with problems mean everyone is doomed to the same. Sometimes the problems lie more on how the dealer handles them than in the machine....:thumbup:

I'm also curious about where the "hydrolic pumps" are? Just cause I'd like to know.
The leaking frunk is rare but there are several possible causes. I had it and the dealer replaced the tub under warranty of my 14 RTS. Do a little search and see what could be causing it. Get it fixed and move on. My 14 came with the extended Best Warranty. I thought that was pretty routine. Perhaps you didn't get it or perhaps something got missed.
I guess this is a glass half full situation. I come on here and see a small number of people whining about problems but I also see great numbers of people that have had little or no problems and enjoying their Spyder, like me. If you look for negative impressions you can always find them.
