Consumer Description

THIS IS MY 2ND REPORT, I RODE THE SPYDER AGAIN YESTERDAY AND I BURNED MY INNER THIGHS AND MY RIGHT CALF FROM THE EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND A VENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS NOT SHOWING IT RUNNING HOT. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THE BODY PLASTICS NOT ALLOWING PROPER VENTING FOR THE HEAT. THIS IS MY SECOND SPYDER, MY FIRST WAS A 2008 MODEL AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE HEAT, I HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT BEFORE I SOLD IT AND BOUGHT THIS PILE OF JUNK, I HAVE LEFT MANY E-MAILS ON BRP'S WEBSITE AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A REPLY, *TR
