service questions

[teadave]

my '08 gs(pe#260) is going in soon to have the dps replaced. it has never been to a dealer since the day it was sold new. less than 4000 kms on it. is there a list of all recalls out there somewhere? or service bulletins? any suggestions on what i should have them check/adjust? i believe that this dealer is really new to spyders,the salesman didn't know anything about the dps recall, and they haven't done any yet. i'll be the first!
they quoted me $60 to supply a second key for it(only got one from previous owner) sounds a little high, but who knows? any advice appreciated.

:welcome: Look at the bottom of the home page and you will find all the service recalls etc.

When they hook it up the the BUDS system, it'll tell them what updates/recalls your Spyder will need. You can also call ahead to the dealer, supply them with your VIN, and they can tell you over the phone.

i emailed them the vin, and only the dps came up according to them.

Brp recalled 16 thousand + DPS Units and the Salesman didn't know any thing about it?? Maybe you shouldn't be talking to that salesmen any more:dontknow:

Forget the salesman...talk to the service manager or technician.

I think $60 is a little low (if they program and cut the key on site for you). I remember hearing people here paying over $100 for an additional key.

I am kinda like you in the requards that I just recently bought a used 2008 SE5 GS with only 900 miles on it.. just had the DPS recall done on it.. (found out about the DPS recall reading this site) I got no knotice from BRP... I too only got one key with my Spyder and the Dealership in Beckly WV Swampfox Motorsports only charged me $35 to have another Key Made.. as a matter of fact the dealership in Lexington Ky Lexington Motor Sports quoted me a price of $35 bucks for a new key as well.. I think these other Dealers are scamming people.. One dealer that I talked with wanted $100 for a key.. and he said it would take an hour to program one for the spyder.. $35 for the Key and an hour $65 labor charge to program one.. which is a lie because it takes less than 3 mins to do it with the master key.. I watched the Dealer that made my second key do it..
as for all other things Spyder I recommend reading this site.. it has been the biggest and best source for information on the Spyder..

:agree: The Dealers should (and many DO) stop by to catch up on what's going on!
