Service Alternatives to Can-Am Dealerships in Albuquerque or Santa Fe New Mexico?

[Questions]

Does anyone know of independent motorcycle shops in Albuquerque or Santa Fe New Mexico that work on Can-Am Spyders? I have not owned my new-to-me 2008 Spyder long, but I am already sick and tired of doing business with the dealerships.

Thanks,

Good luck with finding any independent (anywhere) that will work on a spyder, other than maybe brakes.

:agree: Unfortunately, the :ani29: is quite different from a standard motorcycle.

There are full service manuals that can be purchased off the internet. A BUDS computer program is also used on the computer heavy :spyder2:.

Non experienced people messing with :ani29: has caused many problems. Even some dealers have screwed them up.

If you are mechanically inclined--some self help can save you a lot of money. If you need it done by someone else, a dealer with a good reputation is your best bet.

The :spyder2: is nothing like a Honda 360. :yes:

It's sort of like having your Tesla S serviced at the local Firestone tune up store.... it ain't happenin', baby!!

The Spyders are so specialized, your everyday mechanic or service tech wouldn't have a clue and perhaps would make matter worse if they were to attempt service and/or repairs.
