• 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.

New 2014 lasted 35 miles

John,
Just for grins I looked up the New York Lemon Law. "

A reasonable chance for a manufacturer or its authorized agent to repair a problem for a new car is considered to be:

  • Four or more attempts to repair and the problem continues to exist; OR
  • The car is out of service by reason of repair of one or more problems for a cumulative total of 30 days or more.

Also found that it doesn't cover motorcycles (a lot of states don't).

So just because it gave him an issue right off the showroom floor doesn't mean, at least in NY, that the manufacturer is obligated to replace the vehicle until they have failed to remedy the situation over a period of time.

Thanks, John! :clap:
Glancing briefly at it; the Spyder would be covered...
The engine displacement exceeds 750cc... motorcycles with smaller engines aren't covered.
 
wow

Hey Joe... I am in construction as well!!! I am a project manager and estimator, and, to fill the cracks I am the company safety director. I don't let it get to me any more but I used to be stressed to the max. It took 42 years to figure that out, lol.....

Ok.. now the good news..... She is back in my garage and all fixed up they say. The Tech finished it up last night and they delivered this afternoon. I have not ridden it so I have to reserve judgment until the weather warms up (nor'easter bowing through so a bit nippy, lol).
He found a torn O ring that separates the tranny reservoir from the engine reservoir (the new high tech drain plug) and for good measure he replace the entire clutch, clutch cover and the hydraulic actuators (I think that is what he said).

The dealer prepped it again and had it brought to my house in their covered trailer designed for this use (and other of course).

While it may be premature, I sure want to thank BRP, my dealer and Lamont for assistance. Many thanks for all the help in getting my toy back on the road. Also my special thanks to Don and his better half for coming to my rescue and cheering my up :-). My step son also deserves mention as he immediately came to get me with a trailer. (a plug for him as well, he just got his insurance license and he has cut our yearly cost by $400 and increased our coverage well beyond what we had before including a special rider that will cover all the policies incase we exceed any one maximum should the worst happen). If any one wants a quote I can get his info to you and be sure you say my name, he promised me he could do a bit better for friends and family.

Well hopefully this is the end of my adventure and I will be seeing all my good buddies as soon as the weather improves or I get my electric gear hooked up again, which ever comes first lol.

Good Luck!

Issues

I hope the dealers and BRP are reviewing all the issues of late with their New 2014 models. One can only hope they step up to the plate and resolve the issues in a timely manner for all concern. Good luck...
