FEEL RIPPED OFF

[mindman]

I feel so lost and alone with my 2010 as it sits at the dealer with a clutch problem as I pray I get it back in time for Spyderquest on Thursday. (sniff!) I need a hug.

Everyone... Please don't get me wrong I love my spyder. It's an awesome ride and my wife and I both enjoy it. With the 2014s it is not the new technical specs or that it is better. I am just worried about the heat safety issues. It is going in this week for the recall. I look forward to riding his bike for many more years.

I slept in the garage with mine the first night I had it

I'm lost

I have a 2013 RTS spyder and I'm not having any heat problems. The spyder runs great is fun to ride and we enjoy the heck out of it. so I guess either I'm one of the luck ones or I'm missing something. As far as up grades; I hope they always make upgrades to the spyder each year. That is part of the development process.

I hope you get it back too, but if you don't maybe Bob Denman can give you a ride in his wife's Mini Cooper

Even with the few issues I've had, I love my RT and will ride it until one of us wears out . . .

We have a 2012 RT Limited with 14,000 miles on it and a 2013 ST-S with 2,000 miles on it and neither of them have had any problems. I think it tends to be the ol' bell curve syndrome where 75% of them are good or better than good, 5% are way above average and then there are the ones that are 3 sigma and 6 sigma out that are laden with problems. And those 3 and 6 sigma folks tend to visit the forums and post there hearts out about had bad these things are.

Just my observations from SpyderLovers and several other forums.

Just Chill and Enjoy!!

As many here have already advised, quit worrying about the heat issues and go enjoy your ryde!! :yes: You want to be smart in life and avoid unnecessary risks (like not wearing a helmet when ryding), but most of the things we worry about in life never happen, and when they do, you find a way to overcome!! If your spyder develops a problem, get it fixed and get back on the road. Until then, quit obsessing and have fun!!

You never know, a sinkhole could open under your house, that salad you ate tonight could contain cyclospora, an electrical short could start a house fire, someone dear to you could get sick, an airplane could crash in your yard....on and on and on. :banghead:

Fretting and worrying won't keep any of these from happening. You bought a great bike. It's crammed full of safety features, but it's not perfect. Nothing is. If you want to be absolutely safe, stay in bed all day...but wait, what's that lurking in the closet???? :yikes:

Seriously, just ryde and chances are, you'll be fine!!! :doorag:

I'm kinda in the same boat, I just got my 13 RT-S last Tuesday and it's not got 250 miles yet. The fire recall delayed my delivery by 3 days and I was not happy cause I wanted my new toy! I wouldn't worry too much about the 14 model with a completely new engine design i'd give it a few years to make sure they got it squared away. Besides if you just got your 13 the dealer should have gave you a killer deal to move out old inventory. I got $3000 off (yellow tag sale) and the 5 year warranty. That will take me well up into "upgrade" time for the new 3 cylinder model, by then they will have a V4 in them :dontknow:

Thanks to everybody for all the positive feedback. I feel much better about my ride Now.

 

[Bob Denman]

I hope you get it back too, but if you don't maybe Bob Denman can give you a ride in his wife's Mini Cooper

It'll be the red one, with a white roof, and all of the racing stripe...
And Mighty Mouse on the rear hatch!

Damn! :shocked: I'm going to have to change my pictures around a bit...

Hello I purchased my 2013 RT 23 days ago. i was not a member of this forum when I purchased mybike. I was looking at Honda trikes and Harley-Davidson trikes. I started to research the spyder On Can am website and YouTube videos. Then I went to my local dealer and test drove one and I was hooked. Since I purchased my bike and became a member of this forum I learned of a lot of issues the 2013 are having. Also my highbeam does not work my air ride suspension has a slow leak plus the master cylinder recall and the bike can burst into flames. I am starting to second-guess my purchase. Where I feel ripped off is I asked my local dealer if there was going to be any major changes for 2014 and he said not that he knew. I did save some money on my bike because it was an end of year sale. But when you're spending that kind of money a couple thousand dollars more is not really an object to me when I'm going to get a better product after seeing the 2014 line up.

As long as you're not having any problems, just keep riding. It's not like all the '13's suddenly burst into flame. If things are going well, enjoy the bike!
