NEW Spyder 2020 RT

[claimbo]

I just purchased the 2020 RT LTD. While riding home, I received a fault code on the dash for the suspension. I continued to ride the bike and continued to get the code. Then one day I didn't get a code. Thinking the bike solved its own problem I was happy. Then I went out on a long ride with my wife as a co-rider. The ride was very hard and I found the bike was bottoming out. I have brought the bike back to the dealer but in 4 days of looking, they can't seem to find what is not working. The computers are of no help. Thus far the dealer has not found any discussions about this problem ad is at a loss. My question is this: Has anyone had this or a simular problem with the new 2020? Do you have any suggestions as to what is wrong and how to fix it? Any help I could relay to the dealer would be appreciated.

Tom.....Welcome to Trike Talk....I’m surprised the dealer can’t get a read on the fault code?....

Welcome to Trike Talk

Do you have another dealer near you? If not stay on your dealer and have them call their tech support

Welcome Tom. Try looking on the SpyderLovers forum. Something is definitely not right. Make sure your dealer opens a case with BRP. Some dealers are good, some not so good. Because this happened when you were riding the bike home for the first time, I suspect the dealer did not prep the bike correctly before delivering it to you. Good luck..... Jim

Sounds like the compressor isn't working properly or at all. That whole function of automatically adjusting to weight and road conditions is great but very few dealers have a clue as to what it is or how to fix it. If not just a simple fuse, which I hope you've checked, then I'd look for another dealer if the one you bought it from hasn't fixed it. There's some kind of BRP help thing that gets regional reps involved but I don't know much about it. But you might have to dig into that to get them involved.

I had the auto-leveler (automatic air shock for rear) leak air on my 2017 F3-Ltd, and it had to be replaced. It was actually the airbag of the shock that had a small leak in it. I was out of factory warranty, but my extended warranty cover it.

So you might make sure they checked that out.

Yeah, this year has been a bummer for traveling much, so we have stayed close to the house. We make regular day rides around our area, do take out, sit on a bench or rock and just enjoy life as it is. Did do an overnight trip last week to the old Hub location (called Marble Falls Resort, now) up Hwy 7 by Harrison, AR. It was good to get out and ride some roads we haven't been on in a while. I do like to "drop-in" every once and a while to see if my friends are still at it, riding the roads back in Texas! Ride safe, and stay safe, till we meet again........... :scooter:

I am a few months late but did this get resolved? Was the switch arm installed on the swing arm?
