Leaking Spyder!

[remark2013]

We have a 2014 RTL and have an antifreeze leak on the upper hose where the T is between the two radiators. I have removed the Frunk, which is when I was able to spot where it was leaking from, and was wondering how does one access the main hose clamp (before the T)? Do I need to remove the Faring/dash as well? I am not sure that I still have warranty coverage for this any more. BTW....this will be the second time we have had a water leak in the same place, first time was covered by warranty.

Thanks for any and all the help, Kent.

many dealers give a new "one item" warranty on previous warranty repairs. Sounds kind of like they
fixed the symptom but not the disease.
IF your dealer doesn't want to re-do the repair, they should at least tell you best access you need to effect the repair yourself.
Good luck with your issue.

Same issue

My 2014 rts is at the dealer now being repaired for exact same issue. The service mngr said it was a known issue and that brp ok'd the warranty repair. I am guessing your 2014 should also be under warranty, give your dealer a shout and see what they say. :thumbup:

Good luck

WARRANTY ISSUE ON THIS

You want to get the Warranty thing straightened out ASAP ...... Because if it EXPIRES you won't be able to get a BEST warranty extension. Your dealer can give you the info you need over the phone with a call ....... You can shop for the a better price from any dealer ( Like Pitbull in Mo. ) because it's a BRP warranty ........ good luck, Mike :thumbup:

Thanks for all the info guys, planning on calling my dealer today just to make sure if we do and what all is covered. We have a fellow Spyder Ryder who has a 14 and had a water pump leaking. His water Pump was replaced under warranty but the hoses was not. He was charged with the labor for hoses and fluids, over $400.00. For that much I can do the work myself!

Going to try high quality clamps first, but looking at "Cheep Cycle Part" I can purchase all 3 hoses and the T for about $100.00.
