• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Very disapointed with BRP and their product!

What does SpyderAnn's RT '13 fire have to do with a RT '12 rebuilt engine? :dontknow:
BRP posted on this website that they would "do right" by spyderann regarding her getting a new Spyder after her's caught fire. I thought "new" was what they meant and not a "rebuilt" bike. Not so sure now.

One reason people buy new is emotional, to have something "clean" that no one has used before. And they pay a hefty premium to buy new. So a used motor shortchanges them. Imagine if your defective new mattress was replaced by a rebuilt used one. Yuckk!

Why would you think she is getting a "rebuilt bike"? They have provide her with a loaner. Don't you think if they were going with a rebuilt they would have done it by now? Your analogy with a mattress is ......... to be polite, not appropriate.

Why are you asking him that on this thread? Sorta hijacking it, isn't it?

My situation has nothing to do with this topic as Yazz was pointing out. BRP has taken care of my situation and I will be purchasing a 2014 when a RTS-SM6 is available.
 
Rebuilt Short Block

Just my $0.02 cents worth

When I was into racing, I always requested a rebuilt crank usually 0.10 / 0.10. That means the bearing journals have been turned on a lath. Basically each bearing journal has been trued to the enter line of the crank. This process makes for a better (squarer) crank. This over-all rebuild process hold true for the rods and pistons too. The end result is by far a better product than a factory line built engine.

I hope you got your bike back and will enjoy it with out any further troubles.

The analogy is obvious to anyone who values something "new" as does Deb. Ask your wife to explain it to you.
 
Honestly I wouldn't be happy with a "rebuilt" engine in my new bike either but I can see BRP's point on this so I understand. My only fear would be the dealers ability to finish the job correctly and make damn sure they got the junk cleaned out of everything being reused, including the oil tank and all the hoses. If all is well then go for it......

Serious 5k miles is not a "new" bike anymore or auto for that matter. Just sayin'.....
 
Florida has a " lemon law " in place but it does not over one failure events I don't have one here to read. But if my memory recall is working it covers repeated attempts by a dealer to repair a recurring problem to a motor vehicle. Say your engine failed three times or the dealer held it for a period in excess of 90 days. Then it would be subject to replacement. But as the complaint you must document all of your steps on pape. My spouse had a nephew that bought a Lexus that ate tires by the fourth set he lemon lawed it for a full refund to include interest.

Sorry Bob, but the florida lemon law does not cover motorcycles be they 2 or three wheels. Unless they have changed it in the last 2 years.
