Brought our ST limited in for oil change and for recall for heat issues. Told tech that we have used 2 qts of oil since last service and he said he would check it out. Found that it might be a blown head gasket or a valve cover gasket. Also found that the fuel vaporizer has started melting. They will have to keep it now until they have the new parts in. We have really list our confidence in this new Spyder. I am sure that our problems are not over with. This heat issue is not over with yet I am sure. I hate it too because the Spyder is such a great ride!

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.

known..!!
the evap canister is one of the items in the recall kit. If you have a blown head or valve cover gasket it was not about the heat issue. Sorry they are another dealer with no parts in stock. I would call around and see if you can find the parts for a shorter wait. I feel BRP doesn't have a good stock of parts either....jmo..:thumbup:

Hoo Boy--here we go again. Bad valve cover gaskets should = oil puddle under the Spyder. When my dealer did my last valve check, they failed to install a new gasket. Result--$800 repairs on them.
Don't think this should be happening on a new machine though. Somethings wrong.

No it it is not leaking or smoking. We have just had to add 2 qts. Since our last oil change. When they took the panels off it was wet with oil. They aren't quite sure from where.

Not leaking but the panels are "wet with oil"?
Seems to me that it IS leaking... just not making a puddle on the ground. :dontknow:
