![]() ![]() Your choice tho, but I'd like to remind you that life is short, and beside, don't you deserve to enjoy your Spyder as much a re-flash will let you?! Go onnnn, Do It!! You know you really want to! Peter-U R guilty of using "common sense". This bring it around full circle, find a good dealer, and look no further. Overall, it is generally accepted that the majority of Can Am dealers see Spyders as a second tier item, and offer very poor support, few qualified techs, and long wait times for repairs. Can Am shields themselves by deferring calls to an authorized dealer. Consider how many times we have read here of dealers not willing to accomplish repairs on issues we know about, such as DESS or drive pulleys. So, if you have a failure, technically they must prove it was caused by you using or doing something that caused the failure. BUDS is far from universal like OBD, and while available from a few suppliers, is technically not the Can Am version. Technically, like cars with a standard, they use OBD and is accepted as somewhat universal and available to all. In my opinion, and my understanding may be incorrect, but Can Am and BRP have broken the laws and guidelines in regards to allowing non dealer service based on requiring BUDS for service work. Is my warranty still good?Depends what breaks and how much you will fight for your rights. So far I have added a cat delete, sway bar, car tires, &belt tentioner. Your choice tho, but I'd like to remind you that life is short, and beside, don't you deserve to enjoy your Spyder as much a re-flash will let you?! Go onnnn, Do It!! You know you really want to! IMHO, an ECU re-flash that doesn't exceed the performance parameters BRP has released these engines with in other platforms is probably one of the best 'value for money' mods you can make to your Spyder arguably an even better improvement than fitting a BajaRon Anti-sway bar & tossing the crappy Kenda tires in favour of some far better performing 'real' tires combined! Yes, I know it's hard to believe that an ECU re-flash could be that much better than either or both of those mods, they are sooo good but seriously, it's one of the greatest things you can do to improve your outright enjoyment of your Spyder - I reckon it can make your Spyder the ryde it always shoulda been & the ryde you know that you really wanted when you bought the thing, even if you think what you got from the factory settings was pretty damn good to start with!! The re-flash can REALLY make it THAT MUCH BETTER! Make the mod, flash the computer, ride the wheels off it, smile a lot and IF something happens, cross that bridge when you get there.Īnd btw, you don't hafta get the ECU re-flashed to anything wildly beyond what BRP has proven for these engines can handle ALREADY when used in other platforms - in fact, you can improve things significantly while staying WELL within the existing 'known & proven safe/reliable in other platform' parameters, and still be a whole lot better & more powerful/enjoyable/smoother/more tractable than the de-rated state of tune BRP have chosen to release 'stock Spyders' with. Some are fortunate to have issues resolved, but the heat problems, fires, DESS and more has set the trend regarding warranty. On a side note, BRP / Can Am set the trend of how they have in the past dealt with serious issues. Yes there will be additional wear and more frequent parts replacements, but not often do we read or hear about 1330s wearing out. My opinion though is these engines, gearboxes and clutches are able to safely handle the additional small increase in power. ![]() Either accomplish the mod and enjoy it, crossing fingers nothing happens or keep it absolutely stock, wondering what you are missing, or wait until the warranty expires and do it then. ![]() Last week, I had this same phone conversation with another owner. If you detuned the engine vs increase performance, and the engine developed a hiccup that required warranty, suffice to say they would still avoid it as best as possible. Maybe someone who has already done this would know for sure.Magnessun laws or not, dealers and manufacturers do not want to give away parts or labor for free. Everything else should be still be covered. I'm thinking it may only void the warranty on anything directly relating to problems produced by the ECU flash. ![]()
