On 7/11/2019 my 2012 canam rt se5 started throwing out vss fault code, i took it home and contacted my local canam service company. They asked me to bring it in which i did the next day. Enroute to the shop it began showing abs limp home mode but was not in limp home mode. Once connected to the shop computer i was advised the bike was throwing out numerous codes and false codes. Then i wasxadvised this bike has had numerous electrical problems since 2013 ip to and including replacing the entire instrument cluster at 15000+ miles. Since purchasing thw bike it constantly shorts the horn out and i have to replace the fuse. In addition to the vss/abs codes the shock compressor had started coming on and off.

My wife and i were riding to hawks nest state park in west virginia, my can-am spider caught on fire around the fuel cap area we were coming to a stop going about 10 miles an hour to 0. I felt heat on my left leg looked down and saw flames and told my wife to get off the bike and we got off and the bike, it burned for a few minutes before someone put the fire out with an extinguisher. We had fueled up about 35 miles prior to this stop. There are recalls on this motorcycle but not my specific vin #- why? I see this is the exact same problem with other 2008 to 2012 can-am spyders with vapor leak or fuel line leak recalls. I have only owned this can-am for three months i am grateful we are not hurt but this could've been really really bad these are known for catching fire as i am learning and reading i am fortunate yes- please stop these bikes from being sold!! The road was hilly 2 lane country road. Sunshine 85 degrees. Ruined our day and bike!

Tl* the contact owned a 2012 can-am spyder rt. While the vehicle was at an intersection, the contact noticed smoke in front of the motorcycle near the engine. The contact got off the motorcycle and it caught on fire seconds later. A police report was not filed. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The motorcycle was totaled. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,600.

Just purchased my spyder rt ......Noticed a strong smell of fuel after a drive about 30 minutes. I opened my fuel cap and noticed that the fuel was way hotter than it should be. Also rear brakes are very noisy, and found out this is a common problem.

While riding my spyder the heat from the engine gets so intense that it causes the gas to boil and the engine lets off gas vapor. This vapor is released until the bike cools. I have worries that this will ignite so i must leave the spyder outside of my garage until the smell dissipates. .
