How many actually work on their own Spyder

[3 Wheel Addict]

How many actually work on / repair your own Spyder? This can include anything from adding farkles to major repairs.

I would fall into that category. The only thing I had my dealer do was a water pump replacement and that was only because it was under warranty and didn't cost me anything

Now that mine is out of warranty it probably will never see the dealer again.....

I also have 2 boys that make a living as auto mechanics, one Ohio tech graduate and the other owns his on tire/auto shop. So I have it covered.

Dealer gets to do most anything technical. I am not very mechanically inclined.

Wrench Bending

Can do. But, that doesn't mean I always do (for personal reasons). If it's a warranty item, then it's theirs.

Farkles only !

I do all preventative maintenance, dealers are really expensive. If/when I need major work will decide if I can do it or not.. Have done all my farkles except the wrap.

Will do my own maintenance once my warranty and maintenance policy expire.
Currently do my own farkles.

The only thing that I would not attempt is a major mechanical issue and at that point, it would probably be cheaper to just find a complete motor.

Unless I have to take it in for warranty work, it's all me! I'm the mechanic, detailer, designer and fabricator for all that is done to my Spyder.

My Can-Am dealer does the mechanical work on my spyder. I am not mechanically inclined, and I don't have the time to do it. ( That Work Thing, Riding my spyder etc.) Deanna777

WORK

Since my spyder is out of warranty I do all my up keep an any mods except front end alin. let Lamont do that :thumbup:

 

[Frank G]

Do all my own Maintenance, and Farkle additions. Use the dealer for everything else. BTW the RS was so much easier to maintain than the RT. :yikes: I am now looking for a funnel from the "Wizard of OZ" just to add coolant.

I prefer to do my own maint and customization to my own high standards,I don't like anybody touching my toys even with warente work I still go over everything just to make me happy.

:shocked: I am the most mechanically-challenged Human in the Universe :shocked: (Forget about the Planet)
I add farkles; only if it's not too deep into the mechanicals of the bike...
It takes me about three times longer to perform the tasks that I choose to undertake; I enjoy the challenge and the satisfaction gained from the experience! :thumbup:

Mine only goes to the dealer for warranty work. I'll take it in for the 3,000 service but will not have them change the oil.

 

[PW2013STL]

Warranty work = dealer

All other = me, myself, and I. I think between the 3 of me we can get it done:chat:

 

[SNOOPY]

I know some tools. :shocked:

Haha...I thought I was the only one that did that.....I did the same thing when I got mine back after the warranty water pump. I had all the plastics torn off in the garage and went over everything!
