Spyder fires in the news

[irish2themax]

I agree that Spyder fires are...
1. RARE
2. Difficult, if not impossible, to determine the cause and because of that...
3. They are an insurance issue. (And I agree with Firefly. Let it burn and buy a new one!)

Having had the banjo clip failure on the hose from the fuel pump causing gas to spew out as I tried starting the engine, I ALWAYS have my mech check all my hose clamps whenever I have my Spyder serviced.

I also replaced the banjo clip with a crimp clamp because I feel they are more reliable.

Can't hurt to be safe. "Only YOU can prevent engine fires" may not be entirely true but YOU can go a long way to minimizing the potential.

Being a fire survivor i still love my spyder.

Let it burn but all fires require a SPARK.

on my 08 GS the "fan" stopped - when I switched of the engine ..
(had to make some "breaks" on the italian highways because of the too high temperatur of the engine - they changed it by the RT now - but also on the newer RS -models ??
would do that also on the existing ones ..
