2008 CAN-AM SPYDER GS Engine Problems

MY VSS,ABS, AND 4 OTHER CODES CONSTANTLY FLASH. THIS MACHINE LOSES POWER BEFORE I GET TO THIRD GEAR. I WAS TRAVELING ON A BUSY CITY STREET DURING LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE I LOSE POWER AND I GET A CHECK DPS ,VSS FAULT, HIGHTEMP, CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNINGS. ALMOST REAR ENDED BEFORE SWAYING OFF THE ONTO THE SHOULDER. ONE DAY ITS RUNNING FINE THE NEXT DAY EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON IT COMES ON THERE ARE SOME REAL ISSUES FOR A BIKE THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND WITH SUCH LOW MILES . THIS PURCHASE HAS CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW ONE . I LOVE THE WHOLE CONCEPT BUT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO GET A LOT OF THINGS CORRECTED TO WIN ME OVER AGAIN. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY SON OR WIFE TO RIDE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THEM IF THIS THING MALFUNCTION IN TRAFFIC....

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 CAN AM SPYDER ON CT-2 WEST BOUND IN CONNECTICUT AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM IN SLOW MOVING, STOP & GO TRAFFIC MY WIFE (WHO WAS THE PASSENGER) NOTICED BY HER RIGHT FOOD THERE WERE FIRE FLAMES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. SIMULTANEOUSLY I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I STOPPED THE BIKE IMMEDIATELY AND BOTH ME AND MY PASSENGER DISMOUNTED THE BIKE. WE QUICKLY MOVED AWAY FROM THE BIKE AS WE FEARED OUR SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY. WE COULD NOT RETRIEVE ANY OF OUR BELONGINGS. THE BIKE THEN BECAME COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FIRE/FLAMES. WE CALLED 911 EMERGENT. THE BIKE COMPLETELY BURNED TO THE FRAME BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND STATE TROOPER ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. WE HAVE MORE PHOTOS IF NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CAN-AM SPYDER GS MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS PARKED, IT BEGAN SMOKING. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
