does anyone have a good one?

2014

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?

Have had my 2014 RTS since Feb. last year and have 7,500 trouble free miles on it so far. Sorry for your experiences, hope that is taken care of and you come to enjoy your ride. Ken

I've had a few issues (relatively minor but still annoying) but, on balance, I still think that the Spyder is a really good machine. I'd buy another one.

In my mind an "issue" is a problem with a Spyder during the warranty period, extended warranty period included, that, for some reason the dealer and or BRP can't/won't fix under warranty. (Read it to see what is NOT covered.) Remember, BRP and a whole host of manufacturers, you pick the industry, source parts from third parties. These third party sources meet testing and quality specifications established by the end product manufacturer. :cus: happens, parts fail. If the part is covered by warranty there is replaced there is no "issue." I too would like to know what hydraulic pump(s) the dealer is talking about.

I love mine, I had a 2012 RT then bought a 2015 F3, I have had no problems with either one of them. (knock on wood)!!!:doorag:

We do, we do!

I hate to jump on this bandwagon, but I have no choice.

I am on my third spyder and my wife is on her second. Neither one of us has had any problem with ours. We ride quite a bit and have taken many vacations on our Spyders and will continue to do so.

I hope you resolve whatever issues you have and enjoy it for what it is. You'll be glad you did

I have 87,000 miles on my 2014 RTS SM6 with no problems. Sorry yours is having issues.

Wow,

Hey Ann,

You should really get out and ryde more!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Whitelightning]

I have a good one

I think you should extend your warranty and find a new service department.

Hey Ann,

You should really get out and ryde more!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Think what she could have accomplished, if she wasn't towing Joe and the trailer around behind her! :joke:

Yes, I have a good one.

Purchased my 2014 RT-S on April 30, 2014. Now 23,000 trouble free miles. This is my 5th :ani29: with the same record of trouble free miles.

Here come the dancing wieners. :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

 

[fispyder]

I owned 2010 RTS put 42,500 miles on it had no issues traded for 2014 RTL put 22,500 miles on it no issues traded for 2016 F3S have 8500 miles on it still going strong. I don't know what to tell you because of the problems your having. All I know with mine they have been trouble free.

 

[Pampurrs]

The dancing weiners are ok :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

But I prefer couples dancing :dg1::yes: :dg1::yes::dg1::yes::dg1::yes::dg1::yes:

I love my :spyder2:

I have had only a couple of minor issues since new in April.
I just got back from a 3940 Mile ride to Deadwood SD for the rally. The trike ran flawlessly for the entire trip from 35 deg. to 95 deg., up to 82 MPH, not one issue. Figured gas mileage out to 39.24 MPG.

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

I talked to my dealers salesman and their service manager about an extended warranty on my 2014 RT-S. It was their demo so the warranty started in 2014. Both told me that on the 1330s the extended warranty isn't worth buying because they just haven't had enough issues that would be covered to make it worthwhile. I have had the DESS module replaced and now everything seems to be absolutely without problems of any kind on this bike.

 

[Buggy]

Mine is great ...no issues

 

[PW2013STL]

Sorry to say that I am one who has posted about problems and not the good times. If I came on here and posted about every time I took my Spyder out without any issue I would have more posts then Bobnojoke

Bottom line is my Spyder is great and I would even ride it to Alaska and back without a second thought (wait A second I did do that last year).
Sorry about your issues, but as others have stated once those are worked out you should have a great and reliable :spyder2:

 

[Tazzel]

no they are all horrible you should just take yours out to the junk pile and burn it.

What do you think since most of us have purchased more then one.

FEELINGS

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!

.. Google ..... " EMPATHY " it will make you a better person.

WARRANTY

Someone already said something about checking your warranty time .............:agree: ..... I don't think anyone bought a 2014 RT that didn't get an extra 1 year free BEST EXTENSION when they purchased it new.........Mike :thumbup:
