• 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.

A question I would be asking them. With that one answered I'd be asking them many more. About what you can expect from them in the future. nojoke
 
Sorry to hear that this has happened to your new Pride and Joy... :shocked:
My Guess: they forgot to give the Battery a decent charge...
Give them a chance to make it right; but keep a close eye on them from now on...:gaah:
Good luck!:thumbup:

Because they already have your money!!
 
battery

well it's hard to say why your bike is still there, but remember riding season is coming and a lot of other bikes are being serviced also
 
We could get into another dealer rant very easy. The situation comes under the heading of why didn't the dealer take care in prepping the :spyder2: properly?

IMO: the dealer should also be breaking their butts over the fact of solving the problem right now. I have a real problem with dealers that take your money and then forget about any after service or customer satisfaction.

:agree: I would have tried charging it myself first based on my own dealer experiences. New batteries should be fully charged prior to using.
 
Tell them to pull one out of their other brand new spyders but make sure they follow directions on properly doing the initial charge.
 
I already asked they said nope.


Welcome to the 'no so wonderful' world of Mancuso service department. They stock NOTHING other than oil change kits and sometimes recall parts sets during a campaign. Everything else is ordered and batteries cannot ship via air, so you are waiting on truck freight from a warehouse. I think the BRP parts depot is in Wisconsin.

Good luck. Hope your experience gets better from here.

I know this sucks, no doubt about it.

Just guessing your bike may have been sitting in a crate outside a while and wasn't properly recharged before pick up.

No excuse for not getting it back within a day w a brand new battery!!!

But.... Hold on, you will be so happy w the ST! I'm having a blast w mine, and will be even more enjoyable when the warm weather hits!

Hang in there! :thumbup:
