• 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.

I have had enough "spyder loving" from non 2013 owners

I've always thought GM sucked, just sayin' :FordBlueBlood:


lol

Hehehe...I drive a Ford!

the week before I started at GM, some of the union guys flipped a non-GM truck in the parking lot over and set fire to it! OK... This was 20 years ago... They're not reading this...or they're dead!!!

Is it at all possible to stay on subject and not diverge into a Ford GM thing?

Just sayin....

I want to see this continue with full user feedback and input and not have this turn into another thread with a ton of dribble...

Sorry,

You know, Dave, your hatred of your Spyder and BRP is consuming your life. It's eating you up. We all get that you have had problems with your Spyder and are upset. I really believe you would be much better off without it, even if you had to take a loss. I cannot imagine how you can enjoy ryding something you are paranoid about.

That being said, you DO NOT speak for all 2013 owners. :lecturef_smilie: Many (most?) of us have had good experiences with our Spyders and most of us have found reputable dealers to help us out with any issues. My 2013 RT-S did not have bad shocks; did not have bad ball joints; the alignment was dead on when Lamonster checked it; my gas has never boiled; my gas cap has never been too hot to touch; nothing has melted under the tupperware.

You talk about Spyder fires like they were an every day occurrence. They are not. I know of only two 2013s that have caught fire. Vehicles that use flammable liquids as fuel occasionally burn up. We had a post just last week about a fellow whose Honda or Harley trike caught fire while it was idling in the driveway.

Your comparisons between BRP and GM are unfair. BRP is a small company still undergoing growing pains. It has been a manufacturer of motorcycles for less than ten years. It's dealer network is small with many dealers struggling to deal with the technical challenges of the Spyder. GM is the largest vehicle manufacturing company in the world, with over 100 years to develop and refine its products, its dealer network, and its customer support.

There have been 3 fires the first was the demo bike in PA, the second was one week before mine in Canada and then there was mine. You can find this info out by reading the recall data at NHTSA website. While there have been 3 fires there have been many Spyders that had melted parts when they went in for the recall work. So you can count your blessings that you didn't have a problem but don't downplay those of us who have had them.
 
Mark found my melted parts in June and had the first...that I know of repair to master cylinder, brake cable and canister...or mine would have burned to the ground...just saying....the 2013 is a different animal

Glad you are having good luck with your spyder...... so I guess the rest of us that are having issues should just go away????? Pretty narrow minded of you... Thanks for your concerns..

Or to be completely oblivious to the issues.....



I wouldn't assume that of anyone on this forum, I think we all know good and well there are issues....sometimes you gotta joke about it a bit to ease the pain.

Understandable that those going through the pain may not see the humor in it....hence, maybe they need a hug? :dontknow:
 
I empathize, I have a 2011 that averages a mechanical problem every 2 months since I bought it new. I also suffer with too much heat to bear at times, my alignment has been off since purchase, parts falling off, excessive vibration, paint defects, brake problems, cruise control quit working, air suspension leaking, radio resets, cb reception was a joke.. shall I go on? Lol....it is frustrating to say the least but at least it makes a very nice yard ornament! lol

griping

i have done my fair share of complaining about my bike, i promised the other day that i would not complain about the problem of loosing money on the bike so i will not mention the money. i love the concept of the bike and i also love the looks but that is as far as the love aspic goes right now. keep on bitching till we get removed from the forum. i totally agree with you

My opinion.... it's good to hear from folks that do not have problems too!

This thread title says it all.

Let the 2013 people "tell their story" but don't bash on one of them if their opinion differs from yours!

Just trying to keep this post good so that future buyers read straight up info. This thread should not turn into an argument!

My .0001 cents

You were #1 on that list I did not post. Did you look at the recent poll 50% said they have moderate to severe heat issues. Did the canister change ? Nope. Did the MC change ? Nope but they are now covered in tinfoil why is that? Is it because the bikes are just great and fine and dandy? As owners should we be satisfied with that as a fix that no other year needed? There is something not right and we want a real fix. And all of your negative posting will not change that. You certainly do not speak for 2013 owners. One other point is that poll showed~ 100 2013 owners replied how do you know how many that do not belong to the forum are having issues too? I can accept the black hole heat it obviously is to be expected but beyond that no way. I am happy you got one that was actually put together right what about those of us that didn't do we shut up because you say so? What would you say If you had Anne's Bike?

Dribble Dribble Dribble...or....

 
I think I'm done with Spyderlovers . . . at least for the time being. When I made the simple suggestion that someone might make some money selling an affordable scoop, similar to Veritika's, it turned ugly. I don't need to argue with mindless :cus:s who hide behind a psuedonym on a website . . . I have better things to do. Perhaps, after sleeping on it, I may be back . . . but as it stands now, I'm done. I have really enjoyed this forum, and so many of the folks that post here . . . but I retired to take stress that was killing me out of my life and don't need any more added by that sort of person. The best to all of you. Dan.

And I had the melted parking brake cable at the Owner's Event also in June.

I have a 2013 and didn't vote on the poll. These forum polls aren't very scientific. Just sayin' :smile:
 
Any non 2013 owners who don't want to hear any complaints CAN JUST GO TAKE A FLYING LEAP! ITS a free forum and free country so don't read the posts if you don't like what is being said.
I have a 2013 RT bought it Aug. 23 on a good ride it gets extremely hot around glove box and you can hear the gas boiling. Iam also trying to correct some handling issues. If we can't talk about issues hear on this forum that's crazy.
Iam glad I did because I was able to get some help from Baja Ron and
Lamont about my handling issues in some posts here and Mike from Rolo called my dealer while I was there getting an alignment .Without posting issues we can't get any help. Iam a happy 2013 owner just trying to make my bike what it should be. Like all the people who have a great bike but don't want to hear anybody else's issues.
