NHTSA Complaint #10724443 — 2012 CAN-AM SPYDER RT

I PURCHASED THIS SPYDER ON 6/25/2012 AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM ALL THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS MOTORCYCLE. IF I PARK IT IN THE GARAGE THE FUMES ARE HORRIBLE AND I HAVE TO VENTILATE THE GARAGE FOR A WHILE. I HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP SINCE MY FIRST SERVICE WHICH WAS 7/23/2012 AND I WAS TOLD THE CANISTER THAT TAKES THE FUMES OFF THE CARBURETOR FILLS WITH FUEL AND BECAUSE I DON'T RUN THE MACHINE ABOVE 5000 RPMS ENOUGH THE FUEL LEAKS OUT ON THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE ENGINE. 5000 RPMS IN 4TH GEAR IS 58 MILES PER HOUR. 3 MILES AN HOUR OVER THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT. 5000 RPMS IN 5TH GEAR IS 68 MILES PER HOUR WHICH IS 3 MILES AN HOUR OVER FREEWAY SPEEDS. I ASKED TO HAVE THE RPMS CHANGED LOWER SO IT WOULD EMPTY OUT EASIER AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD OPERATE TOO ROUGH. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT BRP AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE ANSWER I GOT WAS TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CONTACT BRP. I ALSO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WHEN I AM OPERATING IN TOWN BECAUSE THE MACHINE GETS VERY WARM AND YOU START DEALING WITH GAS FUMES FROM SOMETHING GETTING WAY TOO WARM. BOTH PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE MACHINE AND I WAS TOLD TO PARK THE MACHINE OUTSIDE UNTIL IT COOLS INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE REAL ISSUE.
