New 2020 Spyder looks like it was left in the rain. I guess I'm a sucker

We had a dealer down south of here that was selling a few new Spyders that had been in a flood. They reworked them, CanAm blessed the warranty coverage and they were honest about it. Pretty good discount. Almost bought one. Even tho they replaced a ton of stuff, you could still tell.

Well, I hate to be negative, but I'm having a hard time believing your story . . . . .
A brand new Spyder, just out of the factory with 1 mile on it . . . just ain't gonna happen IMHO.

My thoughts exactly. Lot of stuff like that showed up after Katrina and various other weather events, making me wonder if it didn't spend some time under salt water. Maybe CanAm can trace it to an original dealer down south who quite literally went under.

And ya ... I suppose it's excusable as long as it's got full warranty AND you got a substantial discount AND were told up front, but it doesn't sound like that's the case here. That level of corrosion gets into everything. I'd take it back for full refund or replacement.

The idea is when dealer needs a part for another bike and that part is not in the warehouse...well...he will take the part he needs from a new bike..it happens all the time in my country !

Looks like melted plastic on the motor. I had the same thing on my exhaust after a ride, after i rode over a plastic bag and did not know it stuck to the exhaust. The plastic smell gave it away.
