• 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 Sea to Sky missing front speakers!

I picked up my new Sea to Sky and the front speakers are missing from the factory! I pulled the speaker grilles off and there is nothing there. Guess the assembler was out with COVID that day. This is crazy! Dealer is going to fix it. Anyone know what size they are on the 2020s? I want to upgrade anyway.

You must be kidding----------- but your are not!!!! No radio check from the factory or dealer????? Amazingnojoke
 
The dealer said they wouldnt be able to check the radio before delivery because there is no reception there. I hope the factory didnt forget anything else. I have the whole spyder torn apart and havent found any other issues. This is just another example of poor quality control at BRP.

I call BS on that ... Never heard of streaming radio or MP3? I'd lean more towards them disappearing at the dealership. Maybe some other owner blew his speakers, and they stripped yours (fully intending to replace them of course) ... then spacing it.

Ummm, no. The dealer did not take them out. They uncrated it the day before I picked it up and I saw it before assembly. The tech is very good at his job. They cant road test this time of year, but he said they probably would have missed it anyway because there is no radio reception there. And even if they tuned to a station, they might miss it because the rear speakers could drown out the fronts. The front tweeters are there and work fine. I was eager to get it home also. I cant blame the dealer in any way. This is all BRP's fault.

That is pretty crazy to be missing the speakers. I was missing a bolt in the air ride suspension connector but have all of my speakers. haha BTW....can't imagine you wanting to upgrade the factory speakers. They are awesome, of course assuming they are installed.

I can understand that. That bolt isn't in place from the factory. If it was, once someone applied power, it would lift the bike up. They keep it as compact as possible in shipping.

Joel---All I can say is "WTF, Chuck?!?".

I would not have taken/or accepted the S2S spyder.

Did the sales person/or tech go over the spyder with you before you signing the paperwork?

I wonder if the can-am dealership inspected/or checked the spyder before they took delivery!!!!!!!


Where was the Quality control inspector or the supervisor on the production floor????????



What else is missing?????????????????

Sorry to hear about your S2S experience. Hopefully, this is a one of a kind and is not the beginning of a rash of bad QC.

Please keep us posted. :yes:
 
I didnt want them to go over how stuff worked on the spyder. That is part of the fun of a new vehicle. Learning how everything works. I just wanted to get it home and start working on it. Even if we tried the radio, it would just be static, which I could here through the front tweeters anyway. Its just one of those strange things that can be missed because you would never expect the factory to forget the speakers. No blame at all for the dealer. This is an excellent family owned dealer that I have done business with for many many years. If anything, its partly my fault for being in a hurry to get it home. I simply never expected the factory to forget to install parts.
 
After I retired from my life's career I worked PT selling RVs. Every RV we sold was demonstrated to the buyer. We operated EVERY feature. Every thing, right down to each light bulb. This was done regardless of the buyers experience owning RVs. Good dealers do this and both seasoned and new customers appreciated the attention to detail. I don't think the dealership I worked for was unusual. You may have high regard for your dealership but as far as I am concerned they failed you as a customer..... Jim
