Got a call from BRP!

OK...you all know that quote...right?

Had mine a few weeks ago, and like others about 45 minutes plus to discuss good and bad. Reviewed my maintenance history they had on file and want to make sure all was working well. Great service in my opinion as they are not afraid to opening up that "can of worms".
:clap:

I'm 6'1". When my mirrors are positioned where they need to be, my handlebars, especially my left ones including the clutch handle, block a fair mount of the middle insides of the mirror, right where I need to see behind me. Moving them out or up would be nice.

Well, I for one hope they don't move them up. If I have to stand on tippy toes to see behind me I'll know who to blame. Let's hear it for the little guys, uh? (I'm right here, standing alongside this garden snail).

I got a call from Jeff at BRP last week and had a great conversation with him. I told him that one of the big things they need to work with is their dealer network, there are some great ones out there and then there are some that are way less than great......even horrible...... at least with mechanics and service issues. I told him that I love the Spyder and that we have over 73,000 miles on it and he said that was the 3rd highest mileage of people that he had talked to. He was very receptive to ideas that I had for what I would like to see on future models like a 6th gear, more accessible or remote grease fittings on front "A" arms, top opening bags on the RT and some other things that I can't remember now. I also asked if customers are ever invited to "Club" and he said he wasn't sure but to talk to my dealer and thought that it sounded like a good idea to get some customer input directly to some of the higher eschelon of BRP. He was very friendly and I enjoyed talking with him. :thumbup:

BRP probably should have sent a couple of guys to Lamont's BBQ. They could have had a couple of sessions with everyone & got a lot of good & bad in 1 setting:doorag:

Yes, I KNOW that quote.

I am curious about your comment on the handlebar blocking the mirrors, probably one of the best things i like about my RT (2012 ltd) is that they seem to me to be the absolute best mirrors i have ever had on a m/c, i just sat on my RT and could not get the handlebars in the way???? I am about six foot 225 lbs and sit rather straight up on the spyder.

The mirrors are great and I have seen them pointed out in reviews as being the best on any motorcycle on the market today.

Follow up to original post

I finally got around to stopping at my dealer on Thursday morning and told the service manager about the problem and the call from BRP. I told him I need to drop it off and have the mech. look at right away and not keep it for a week because I will call BRP when I drop it off. He asked me to call on Monday and we will work out a day to leave it. We shall see if this happens before the snow flies.
