That's not bad $1800 over 2 years. Great information very helpful.

I had a 2001 GL1800 with the Endeavor Reverse Trike Kit - in 163,000 miles my repairs were $158 for a new Alternator. That's it

I think you've gotten your money's worth for the miles covered. Great video!

I could live with 1800 bucks for 50,000 miles. You ride it every day and in salt as you say well that's your problem with the foot pegs. Salt over time will eat at the metals on that Spyder. As for the drive belt not riding properly. front drive pulley could be set to far out on shaft or it has come loose and the vibration is causing it to slide on the shaft. it won't come off because of the case on the drive pulley, For the exhaust pipe, it would be cheaper if you just sand down the exhaust pipe and repaint it. The throttle not returning is the cable worn out after 50,000 miles which to me would be normal ware. Great video thanks. I've been looking into buying one next year. Hope you get it all fixed. Ride Safe.and clean that Spyder up really good. take it to a self service Car wash and pressure wash EVERYTHING, MOST of all Engine, Frame and wheels. Salt is bad stuff

Thank you for all your information on it and I will have to say after seeing your post I feel a lot better about buying one now

Awesome content! I wanted to ask your thoughts on how many miles you feel these will last? I put a lot of miles on all my toy's like yourself, and I'm told they generally last 70-80k. Thanks!

50k in 2 yrs damn it son. You ride line no other. Thanks for the video. I'm looking into getting one by fall this year. If not it will be next spring.

Interesting and very useful video.

Great video! Amazon has weather proof can am covers. I just purchased one for a little over $70 dollars and I’m pleased with it.

Thank so much for this video I'm looking into getting into one of these things and it will only be my only transportation to get around with. You have answered most of my questions.

Great info!! Love your videos! Very helpful! Thanks!

The only thing that scares me here is that trans going at 20k miles or whenever it went. You had the warranty. I'm looking at a 2018 with only 1,100 miles on it but that warranty will end soon & I will be doing 80 miles daily with my commute. Awesome video though. I liked & subscribed. I have been looking for a video like this & you covered it all. Awesome video 👍

Thanks for your information, I'm looking to purchase one next year.

With fuel and maintenance, just over $0.13 a mile. Not bad at all

Thanks for the warning.

Not bad considering that is about 5 years worth of mileage for me. Thanks for the details. I would do most of that work myself to save money (285 for a belt job) but thats because I don't use my bike full time so I have the time to mess with it. You use it all the time so you need it fixed ASAP. I am thinking of selling my Street Glide and getting one of these so this vid helps

You drive that thing more than most people drive a car.

Great, great video and comments as well. I just bought a 2018 F3 and the guy at the dealership mentioned that an oil change should be done every 600 miles...I looked at him...didn't say a word and thought...do more research! Thank you all.

Good review. I think the cost is fair for the miles you have. I had a 2015 Spyder and loved it. Sold it due to illness but really liked it and will get another soon. Thanks for sharing

Thanks much for the great detailed report. We just bought a 2015 RT Limited with 4200 mi. Just for safety we bought a 2 yr extended warranty. All things considered those costs are not all that bad. Did you do the oil changes yourself. If shop charges a lot I will do my own. Again thanks.

50k in 2 years!! Wow!! $1,800 does not sound too bad. That means Can-Am makes a pretty solid motor

That's not bad. All of that seems to be on point. Your next new one maybe park it inside if you can

how many miles ou got on it now? what oil would you recommend?

You did a great job of talking out of a Spyder. Think I’ll get a Ryker.

$1800.00 spent.Im sure the transmission and engine work you spoke of was warranted.Seems like a. Lot of repairs have been.By the time my RTLtm had 13000 miles it had been in the shop for free warranty work for a total of 18 weeks.By the way the first 8000 miles were trouble free.In the 4 years I had it I bought 1 back tire and back brakes(400.00).Year 2-4 I was afraid to go out of town.

I bought a California cover for mine in the summer. Cost about $100. Works great. In winter I have a garage here in Avon lake, Oh.

I realy love this trike !

Dude really does not seem happy... But $1800 over 2 years is not that bad. Sucks that some major systems went out like the transmission and belt, but you ride it every day in all conditions - you gotta expect some things to happen and budget for it. @Greatrydes I would recommend you put up a small open tent/carport to help protect it from the weather - you can find them on Amazon I just threw down on a Burgman but the Can Am is on my list in the next few years. Hope things get better for you, ride safe man

I live in Canada we only get to ride 4 maybe 5 months if your lucky. One of these bad boys would last a life time around here. I want one so bad, I've been doing some research on them. Came across your video learn a few new things I never new. I dont think $1800 over 2 years maintenance is that bad considering you have 50k. I drive a 2017 Kia sportage it only has 33k on it. You must ride lots? Gotta appreciate that my man, life is to short not to ride.

What oil filter did you use ? Which Amsoil 5w40 did you use ? Also are those car tires ? Thanks , I have a 2021 Can Am Spyder RT Limited . Great machine, 2100 miles .

Hi! Just curios, did you get to replace the spark plugs? I know that they should be replaced every 28k miles. I am also wondering if you would take tha chance to replace them yourself, many are saying that is a very hard job. I live in Switzerland and here the working hour is like 200$, this is why i'm asking. Thanks!

Not bad on the cost. I had my front brakes replaced at the dealer and they squeak terribly, I think I'm gonna get some different pads . I have at 2015 RTS.

Thanx for all your info. I have a 15 F3 S , with 6700 mi. However, I am not nearly as mechanical as you. I plan on having the dealer do all required maintenance. I wonder how much MORE you would have spent then $1800.00!

I currently have a transmission issue and would like to know about yours before I take it to a shop for repairs.

It seems like very video I watch about the Spyder's there is huge cost. Seems like the maintenance is a pain to do it yourself from all the body panels to be removed and any minor thing to be done. I had a Goldwing trike with minimal maintenance. For how long they been making these they should be easier to work on and a better quality product. Thank's for the video!

Great video! How about the "Cam Position Sensor"? Have you replace that when you rich 6,000 miles on it. Pls. let me know. Thanks

$1800 is not bad for 2 years and 50,000 miles. Motorbike riding is a sport; I’ll bet most spend more on golf!

Well first off thank you so much for your honesty... I've been thinking about getting myself into a spider maybe the new Riker I want something new so I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money on fixing things I know everything breaks down from time to time but overall my concern is am I just better off getting on Honda motorcycle because as we know those bikes never break down LOL A friend of mine has a Goldwing and I believe it's going through its third life now it's crazy how many miles is on this bike can the Can-Am give me the same kind of life expectancy as a Honda is my real question... Thank you for your time and again thank you for your video

Wow that’s sounds very pricey I don’t know if I want a spyder now 😩😕 I do love them they just look so nice and ride free 👍🏼

What state do you live in? It costs me $235 for an oil change, $280 for a rear tire change

I heard the 3 plugs cost $700 and 6-7 hrs to replace. Is this true?

Have you consider a shed maybe a 10 x 10

We just took wife sypder in for the 19300 oil change be the last one where I take it to them . We bought the services place that would cover old changes for 2 years .

The throttle may be a recall item. They replaced mine for free even though mine was working fine. It took about three weeks to get the parts .

Are you doing all your service work yourself?

That’s cheap as hell! U beat the shit outta that Can-Am

I really want to test ride one of these! Im curious how they corner and if it could keep up with the sport touring bikes I ride with.

In your opinion is wise to buy a spyder or is just too much after purchase costs hidden in maintain ace to ride on of this vehicles.

Do you change your own oil or have a shop do it?

really I'm not going to talk about any of the accessories but that's the first thing I'm going to talk about hahaha

took mine in about a month ago to do the 9k service and he called me and said hey didnt u know ur throttle was sticking i said no when i went out there to see it was like urs and they tell me there is a memo on that problem they will fix it for free cool ... but took almost a month to get some of the parts the weather was bad so i didnt need it but when i did they gave me a loaner call them and have them get the parts ordered soon

As I get older was really interested in getting one but the more I watch people that have them and have ridden them a lot the less I want one. 50 thousand and the trans went out? Watched one where the guy changed oil. Too much work for something that should be simple. Looks like I will be looking for a traditional trike.

Nice detail

Hi would you bye it again for all that you have paid out ?

Next time KZfaq it for DIY repair

Do you punish your ride or the conditions where you live are xtreme

can you use regular car tires on there?

What went on with the transmission? At what mileage did this happen?

Ride on wont seal the tire...i tried it on my harley....worked good for balance but twice did nothing to seal the leak (j.s.)

1800 with parts and labor for 51000 miles that's cheap

It sounds like you got a lemon unfortunately good luck

That's quite a bit of money to put and on a motor vehicle. Sound like it's a lot of maintenance. Too much upkeep for me.

Install a car tire on the Rear will last much longer than stock tire--50,000 miles in two years sounds like you live on this machine...

nice video

What the hell is a "frunk", the proper word is TRUNK ! So do you think 1800 bucks is out ragious? I havent put near that much in my 2014 Spyder STS. My 2008 GS I put 8 sets of front tires on 7 rear tires on (I admit the rear tires, I smoked off the bike, but the front tires, were completely out on the inside, while the outsides looked brand New, and in 2k miles, the dealer in Kissimmee told me that there was nothing that could be done about it. I did a laser alignment my self using g two laser pointers, and a wrench, that fixed it.

50k and 1800 I’d say that’s dam good

Why did the transmission go out at 20,000 miles

LOL 😂 you made me feel sad about your appraoch about the talk of maintenance. 1800 is cheap and that just in 2 years. Chin up man in your other videos. Spiders can-am are awesome. 100 to 200 average maintenance isn't bad for the basic Ware and tare on some the parts. But you almost made me not want to get one. But when I realize that was after 2 years that's actually literally for that is not bad at all. No body likes chucking money out. I understand that. For the maintenance to keep on driving is pretty decent 👍😁 but having to wait to get it fixed I understand..... 😟

For 50k miles that seems reasonable to me. I don't know anyone that puts that many miles on their Spyder 🕷 And really, when u consider the cost of all the counselling and therapy it saves, i think u come out way ahead #spydertherapy #spydersaltlife!

Looks like dude needs to clean his back yard up before he shoots a video. Jus sayin

Would you by a newer one

No valve adjustments???

Have you ever had the bad key error message

$1800 for maintenance is very good for 51,000 miles. But we all know that the main expenses on a large motorcycle (I have a Goldwing) are gasoline, insurance and depreciation. Wish you many more happy miles on your F3 Spyder!

PASS !

Spyders or XMR. Across the board it appears Can Am are money pits.

These BRP Can Am products seem like shity money pits

if i can find one cheap enough used i will go for it...other than that that machine is a piece of s! even for a mech with a garage...

not good

100th view

You need to sell your bike and spend your weekends cleaning your backyard. That $1800 would have paid for a new fence too. If you are starting a junk yard you are doing pretty good. Glad you’re not my neighbor.

The original air filter for the GS, and RS Were Fram filters and at Autozone were $11.00 each, as a matter of fact the original filter had the Fram name and part number on it. So where do you put the K&N filter?

That lamp holder is not 50.00! They had the same transmission issues in the GS on the front pulley ! Obviously you dont take care of your Spyder, so for $1800.00 you have gotten off light, at the very least you should buy a cover, or a 3 dollar tarp from Harbor Freight, and some bungie cords
