Let's see if Karyl gets a F3???

I think she might, if she likes the ride.

UPDATE

Well, I can say now that the problem with my Spyder last month was a broken valve spring.

The piece the valve rides on stayed in place, though, so there was no damage to the cylinder or piston. He said it was probably lucky it happened at idle, and not while I was going down the highway. I was also lucky it happened under warranty (just short of the 2-year mark and before the extended warrenty kicked in). Otherwise it would have been about a $3,000 repair bill.

Hey Patti, maybe you said and I missed it, how many miles were on your RT when it went?

About 25k miles. Len said he's never heard of this happening on the 1330 engine before. If it had been damage to the cylinder or such, they may have had to replace the whole engine. Lucky for BRP, it was something they could fix.

I just wish the first dealer who looked at it was up to the task. It just goes to show that the dealer you use makes all the difference. I can't sing the praises enough of Len and his "Pitcrew". They found the problem and are taking care of it. (Probably finished by now.) The first dealer (in Stillwater, Okla) didn't have a clue, even after consulting the BRP. After I got it to Pitbull's, they knew within an hour that it was something in the engine and would need to be tore down.

. :yikes: Patti, even under the " EXTENDED WARRANTY " the repair would only have been $ 50.00 from you...You do have B.E.S.T. coverage - correct ?????........ Mike :bbq:

Wow, bad spring. Let's hope it's an isolated thing.
