How many actually work on their own Spyder

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

REALLY ! ! !

I prefer to have the dealer do all the mechanical work as they are trained to do the
job right (the first time). :clap:......Really, not in my experience, nor in those of many others on this forum. This is an ongoing problem IMHO.....Mike :gaah:

Certainly admire all those that do most of the mechanical work themselves. :thumbup:

...........:agree: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm lucky to have a better half that farkles up my Spyder and does 90% of the mechanical work.

I do just as much work on my Spyder as my car. I check the oil and put air in the tires. Enough said.

I do it all myself and I am still under extended warranty, my dealer worked twice on my bike messed it up and scratch it I am doing all the work and enjoying it, I am an EE never did any mechanic work. few weeks ago it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to open hood to fill the wiper water. But the spyder is great pleasure for me to work on.

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

I do my belt alignment, oil changes and all of the basic maintenance. Changed shocks, installed sway bar etc. Any other issue I'll let the dealer handle but I've not had any dealer services after the initial check at about a thousand miles. Engine, electronics no problems. :thumbup:

Does that require a 'Tire Fluffing Tool'?

BRP has a specialized tool for that... :thumbup:

: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:

:agree: I am right there with you Bob, i was able to tackle Gloryders! I took great satisfaction at that. I will foot the bill for the rest!!

Basic farkles = Me

Involved Farkles or Non warranty work + Spyderpops Repair Shop

Warranty Work = Dealer

Cruzr ( the soon to be retired (2 more weeks) ) Joe

Two weeks! Time to use all of that sick time you have built up!:roflblack:

I hear ya; Bro! :2thumbs:

There are actually a lot of systems on the bike, that you can "skirt along the edge of"; without getting into any trouble.
Chrome Handlebar end-caps... :thumbup:

Frunk, and top trunk molded liners... :thumbup:
New seats... :thumbup:
Armrests... :thumbup:
Anti-SwayBar end links... :thumbup:
The key; is to just not let yourself get overwhelmed by the project. Read the instructions about a bazillion times, and keep focused on the process.
