Can Am Spyder RT SE5 Review
A review of our Can Am Spyder 2011 RT SE5.
We are so pleased with this bike and after considering other options such as the Honda Gold Wing, we decided that the Spyder was the bike for us.
The Spyder gives so much more in comfort, control, stability and safety.
Why not watch this review and see if its the bike for you.

    typical dealer - throw thousands of dollars before figuring out what the real problem is. There is no possible way that all the parts you describe as being replaced were at fault, not to mention how many labor hours. Probably a loose wire or connector. The dealers are not motivate to spend less time and less money on parts to fix a problem, especially when they have deep-pockets, gullible customers. Complete troubleshooting every part of the machine is well-documented in the service manual (nothing need be taken apart except tupperware. The problem is the technicians don't know how to run a VOM much less an oscilloscope or follow a troubleshooting flowchart. Too bad you got taken so badly but at least you are enjoying your machine.

    My wife has expressed an interest in getting a Spyder. There is one identical to this for sale locally for $11,000 USD. It has 12.000 miles on the clock and appears to be in nice condition. It has had some recent repairs done with many new components installed. ( pads, rotors, clutch, clutch lines, clutch pistons, new parking brake, oil change, new tires, and new vacuums) , not sure what that means. I don't whether to be afraid of all those repairs or be glad they have been done. My wife is 5 feet tall, do you think the seating position would be a good fit for her? I have no idea how the handle bars/ seat/ foot peg relationship is configured. What do you think of the price on it? Great video, very informative.

    • @lescrowther2857
      @lescrowther2857 3 роки тому

      I would be a bit cautious. Is it from a dealership? Has the work been carried out by a dealership? And is the work guaranteed? Does it have Full service history? Receipts for work carried out? I say this because I have just had a full service by a professional motorcycle mechanic and there was a glitch even with the simple oil change. They can be tempermental machines because of all the computer electronics. Mine was quickly rectified by the perseverence of my mechanic. You really need to get a few test drives sorted to check for comfort. Good luck with it buddy. Let me know how you get on.
