2011 Can-AM Spyder RT Body and structure Problems

“After purchasing our 2011 Can-Am spyder rts we noticed that after riding that there was a fuel smell inside the garage coming from the spyder. Can-am issued a recall for faulty gas caps venting gas fumes. We received the new updated gas cap but still have fuel smell after riding while the spyder is parked in the garage. While riding, the heat coming up from the body panels is so hot that it causes 1st degree burns on my wife's thighs and calves. Have brought this up to 2 different dealers and have been told by both that, its normal for the spyder.”

“The windshield is mounted on three struts -- the middle one controls the up and down position of the shield and holds it in position; the outer two move freely up and down with no restraint. The center strut broke causing the windshield to suddenly fly up and back and then settle in against the front of the motorcycle. In that position, full wind force is directed against the rider and passenger. Further, the outer two struts are free to move up and down so any passing turbulence such as another car or truck causes the windshield to literally flap in the breeze. …”
