Spyder Blowed Up

[bjt]

Man Im sorry to hear about your issue.. BRP states the Spyder was 10yrs in development? I guess 10 yrs is not enough time to create a reliable product.

Is this common among 2008 Spyders? I ask this because I just purchased a used 08 spyder w/ 1300mi. Which will be delivered next week.

If you look at any motor vehicle made (car, truck, bike, etc.), some certain number of them are going to have problems. This is not limited to Spyders. Sometimes I am amazed that anything this complex works right when I think of the thousands of parts that have to be made within tolerance and installed in the proper manner by hundreds of different people.

Well....

Someone was kind enough to total out a demo bike (the demo truck is in the local dealer's parking lot this week ) and I'm getting the motor out of that bike, to get home. The word is the guy was fine, but the Spyder is a write off. This isn't the perfect scenario by any means, but at least the wife is going to get to do some riding while we're here and I don't have to come out of pocket to get her bike back to Florida....so far.

Big thanks to Lynn in customer service at BRP for all her help, and to Al at Rice here in Rapid City for working this end.
