According to Consumer Reports, the Can-Am brand has a 42% failure rate after four years. This makes their motorcycles among the least reliable brands. Most of the reliability issues seem to be with manufacturer quality control, and there is really no single identified problems, but many different ones. Their models utilize more complex engineering, which may contribute to reliability issues. I ride harleys and spyders. people on here just always want to badh harleys
Until last year, I also owned both a H-D and Spyder. I sold my 2009 FLHT (bought new) to a buddy. In my ownership, I put on approx. 40K miles and required nothing more than routine maintenance (and one recall). Not a ton of miles, but I also owned multiple bikes in addition to. As of now, I have about 9K miles on the Spyder and, as should be expected, only has required routine maintenance. I do see a large amount of Spyder owners here buying extended warranties for their machines. I have until Aug.29 to decide on that, but I never bought one for my H-D.
