Round 2... DING DING DING!!!!

[hotmanali]

So Roxy is in the shop again as of monday. This is the second time for both issues:

#1 I get an "E" in the shift position and lights flashing like crazy (cleared last time and it's back again)

#2 oil leaking and burning on the pipes creating all kinds of smoke. Last time it was the head gasket)

For being less than 3 months old and <1600 miles this is pathetic. I'm thinking Lemon Law is about to come into effect!!!!

I love my :spyder2: and it's such a fun ride but being in the shop this much is not right. I have had 9 bikes, 2 boats, 3 PWC and none have seen the dealer this much in the course of a year let alone 3 months.

You have a 3 month old 2009? Was it a leftover?

Everyday now I see these kinds of threads. Don't worry, someone will chime in shortly saying the Spyder so great and only a selected few have a problem. They will also tell you the Spyder is a new product and will have growing pains. And alot of other BS.

Sorry, you are yet another victum of this machine.

Yeah... It sat at the Ed Hardy store for a little over a year and no one wanted a SM5 so i got a smoking deal on it but now it's being a headache.

Don't get me wrong. I love ryding this machine, but I thank God everytime I pull back in my garage after ryding and did not break down. I should not feel this way but I do.

Yeah i have check that one out before. I have actually already lemon law'd 2 BMW 750 LI's in one year because of their problems with the iDrive. Motorcycles are covered in California so if this keeps up i know exactly how to handle them.

I sure hope i don't have to go down that road though. It's not the dealer not wanting to work with me, it's not BRP holding parts, it's just BRP's product is not 100% and should have had more R&D before production.

Or catch fire... That's what I'm thinking when i see smoke from burning oil on the exhaust pipes.

...but I thank God...

Don't thank G-d. Thank BRP that your Spyder was built on a Monday and not a Friday.

That could probably be arranged. :yikes:

That's where my problem is... I live in a high rise with a parking garage. That would be VERY VERY BAD!!!!!

Actually BRP started their R & D in 1997 when one of their takes went to the higher ups and presented the Y concept. (This information was learned at Maggie Valley at the owner's event)

Thats even worse for BRP !!! That long in R+D and the product is still not dependable ??? :lecturef_smilie:

Deciding what to drive is always hard for me.... Porsche Cayenne or Can-am Spyder!?!?!?!?!?

Not sure if it's unfortunate but it looks like you'll be driving the Porsche. Really sorry to hear about your problems with the Spyder. I feel your pain. Mine has been in the shop about 1/4 of its life now. Hopefully it will be a quick fix.

:dontknow:
Why should BRP pay for R&D when Spyderlovers members will do it for them, And in a lot of cases even pay them for that R&D

Not that i don't like my Porsche but it's beautiful outside and i would rather be riding my :spyder2: than an SUV. I just hope they do fix it and permanently
