Some perspective for all us 2013 owners.

[taxmyzer]

Even Harley's have problems. I just wish BRP would have taken similar knowing the potential for fire.

That sounds great. For all on the forum who may have thought you were just complaining what do you have to say now. Keep us posted John. BRP should provide you with a loaner for the next 2 weeks. In addition, BRP should have same battery tests run on your bike run all 2013's. This would go along way in showing their commitment to customer. Did the dealer give you any specifics as to what they found?

i have not spoken to him yet, i would guess i am going to get the bike back and if they come up with a fix i will have to bring it back in again.

heat

all kidding aside, i was starting to think it was just me, i couldn't understand why other bikes were running normal and i was cooking my right foot. i was second guessing myself about the bike and was i just going nuts because i hated riding it due to the heat. there were so many critics on my post about my heat problems that i started the other tread about the 13's having problems so just the people with problems can talk without being bashed, so now even thou they found a problem i feel better that it was not just me hating the bike and building my anger towards the bike and that i was not loosing my mind.

Good news..!!

hope they do come up with a fix for your problem that will also help all the other that do have heat issues. Seems that they are trying but it will never be fast enough...!!

I like what I am hearing except for the fact that they mentioned weeks.

so john, does that mean you've changed your mind and you're keeping the spyder now? i'm thinkin it might be a yes!:thumbup:

 

[cuznjohn]

yes

due to money i have decided to keep it. i would love to own one of the new more powerful bikes with the better cooling system and reversing fans but why take a big loss if they are working on the problem and are trying to fix it.

I think it would be interesting to have a poll on the 2013 heat problem. Hot, kinda or no real problem. I have no idea how to do it.

The HD recall. I do not believe I have ever seen one that strong, but if i had one, I would obey. The only possible thing would be the kill button to slow it down.
