[pellcitypete]

sorry to hear about your problems I've had my share of them also hope you can get it fixed I haven't been able to get mine fixed yet but I am not giving up yet!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

A lot of people with LOW post counts are those who just don't care to post! Lurkers, followers, whatever you care to call them. But, don't belittle them, talk down to them. They are here for the information available. Most of which the dealers are clueless. As far as BRP fixing all the problems. There is little incentive for them to do so. No bad press, the motorcycle mags haven't said a thing. And people like the low count posters keep buying a flawed product. BRP is reaping the income $$$, and still selling a flawed product hoping no one notices. Victory went through this in the very beginning. But when they had a bike that a dealer just couldn't figure out. That biked got shipped to one of the better dealers to straighten out. The dealer that I bought from had the the #1 rated tech in the country. The factory engineers often called him with problem cases to help out other dealers. nojoke BRP is a big company! Their product shows a lack of testing and quality control before releasing to the public for sale. :banghead: Tom :doorag:

every thing that has been said is right on,so never shift tell you are around 4500 t0 5000 rpm,check your battery cable often it vibrates loose,check your fusess and relays at least every 500 miles they vibrate loose,dont get your foot too close to the brake while riding just a small psi.tuching it well put you in limp mode,keep a good eye on your oil it runs the auto part of the tranney,if just a little low ,you will have a lot of shift proublums.if you do all these things you are going to have a much better out come and the battery tender is a good way to keep your battery in good shape so get one and use it all times your not riding.now have fun and ride like the wind.you got to love this site.:2thumbs::chat:

Sorry you didn't see my first line which said I was not belittling the problems. I said I just found it a little strange that almost all of the problems came from low post totals. How this is talking down to the folks with problems escapes me. So sorry you took it that way, it was not my intention.

My intentions were not directed at you personally! But to anyone that doesn't care for the low count poster. That's why no name was used. That wouldn't be right. We are all here to learn the good as well as the bad. :thumbup: Tom :doorag:

I am a low count poster.

I try to keep my posts restricted to technical issues. Others (as is their right) post congratulations, welcomes and other social issues. More power to them.
This is what makes us a community. Variance of attitudes and positions. I welcome people who disagree with me, that is how I learn.
I would hate to live in a cookie cutter world.

I thought this forum was for general discussions not a fan page only! If you want only good things said about BRP start a web page that states it.:thumbup::roflblack::roflblack::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::2thumbs::2thumbs:

Sorry to hear of your problems. I also have a first year RT--Premier Edition #474. I now have almost 25,000 miles on the machine and have not had any major problems on the :spyder2:. I had a grounding issue--but that has been the extent of my problems.

Dealer competence is sometimes the cause of many mechanical issues that happen with the :spyder2:. Check the preferred dealer list and you may find a different dealer and service department could be a solution to getting things fixed right.

Most people do not belittle posts from newer posters. A suggestion to give more specific details is helpful to those in the know mechanically. A rant about the perceived poor quality of the :spyder2: and vague details of the problem give a lot of people the idea that there is a troll lurking in the background. Looking back on posters and seeing that all they do is rant but do not give any details is another clue--and the replies usually are not helpful or the post is just ignored.

This is a very good site, with people helping people in most cases. A few details can go a long way in getting a good answer.

And then you've got folks like me... :roflblack:

This sure sounds like a bike with maybe an electrical thing going on; but the dealer should be able to track that down PDQ... :thumbup:

Not ending up in the right gear?? Gear position sensor maybe???:dontknow:
