[QUOTE="Tyler, post: 1446895, member: 12184"] Friday, June 17th Bad news: At the end of the day's travels, a warning light came on the dash saying "Low Volt Batt"... uh oh. Good news: It came on just as I pulled into the driveway of my friend, Liane's, house who I was planning on visiting anyway... and there's a Can Am dealer about 8 miles from her house. I called them and they said they could look at it in the morning. Yay! Saturday, June 18th Bad news: They tried the simple fix by changing the battery but it turns out the charging system isn't working. The head Spyder tech is out until Monday so we won't know until then what needs to be replaced (voltage regulator or stator). Parts will need to be ordered and can take up to 3 days to arrive and then work will need to be performed. Tried finding a rental on Riders-share but, because I don't have an M1 on my license anymore (don't need it in CA for a Spyder), they won't rent to me. Looked like my trip was over and I wouldn't be making it up to Canada after all. Good news: My dear friend, Liane, offered up her gorgeous Lexus convertible for me to use to get up to Canada while the repairs are being done on my bike. So tomorrow (Monday) I'll resume my travels thanks to her plus I get to spend an extra day with her! Not quite what I had planned for this trip but... Lemons ---> Lemonade! [/QUOTE]
