• 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.

I'm now in the club...

Hi Pam,
My :spyder2: has been trouble free but not big milage. Your air system failure has encouraged me to get the warranty. I do fear that my local dealer will not honor it---- I'll find out. OR do I get repairs done and them BEST pays the bill?? OR does BEST pay the dealer for the repairs after they (BEST) has determined if the repair is covered??
Any help on the waranty is much appriciated.

Kaos


PS: Pam, I can port and polish that broom if it need a few more horsepower.

The BEST extended warranty is valid and should be honored at all Can Am Spyder dealers - just like the original warranty and includes the roadside assistance.
 
Airbag Failure

After 22,000 + problem free miles on my 2015 RT, I finally had a failure. My air ride suspension bag apparently had sprung a leak, and while I was unaware of the problem, my compressor burned itself out trying to pump it back up. My Spyder is now in the shop awaiting the parts needed to fix the problem. I'm told it will be about a week. Thankfully, riding season hasn't yet begun, so it will be a pain free week.
The Service Manager told me this would cost about $1,500.00 had it not been covered by the factory warranty, of which I am covered for another nine months. Whew! Thank Goddess for warranties! While I was there, I purchased the three year BEST warranty, which I feel is $660.00 well spent.
I have no complaints about this incident. I've had stuff break down on my two Honda Shadows, my Goldwing, and my Victory.... it's just part of the deal when you ride motorcycles. I still maintain that the Spyder is a great machine. My only minor gripe is that there are no D.C.s in the US, so they have to get the parts shipped from Quebec, thus the week wait.
Kudos to Ride Now in Chandler for getting me in immediately when I called yesterday, despite the fact that I purchased elsewhere.

Fortunately, my alternate mode of transportation is ship shape!

Doc Humphreys with Roadster Renovations has developed a kit that can be installed to keep this from happening again! Basically it keeps rocks out of the bag area which are usually the culprit. Might be a good idea to have them slide this on while its all apart! Its called Air Ryde Rock Armour
