2013 Can-am spyder rt with 793 miles, drove yesterday 10-12-2020 in the evening, went about 1/2 mile and dark black smoke started coming out of the dual top ports I believe are air intakes. Stopped as it was thick smoke. Rode it home smoking. Temp range was in normal range. These bikes on web research, have a history of catching fire. Put away in garage, checked gas, brake, oil levels appeared normal but I only drove a total of 1 mile. Checked under engine the next day , no stains on the garage floor. I take excellent care of the bike, service wise also and I only drive it locally. I am not riding the bike till I get it to the local dealer for inspection.

We purchased our bike august of 2013. When we picked it up we drove it for approximately 30 miles and stopped because it was so hot, we called the dealer and told them about it being hot. They acted as if it was normal. We took the bike in for the recall that brp had requested. They did the recall but the heat issue remained. I asked the dealer to call brp and see if something could be done about the heat. We were told that brp said it was only a heat issue in the southeastern united states. We changed dealership...

My issue is with 2013 canam spyder. After engine reaches normal operating temperature, the area around the drivers legs are exposed to 208 degrees f. This data was collected at the dealership injacksonville. The continued exposure to this defect has caused first degree burns on my wife's legs. Even when waring thick blue jeans, extended run times burnt her leg too. The company has apparently corrected this issue in 2014. They have re routed hot air with different panels, reversing the fan at slow speed and stop...

Motorcycle runs hot. When refilling gas, gas remaining in tank is boiling. This causes steam to blow out in my face. It also causes the gas added to the tank to heat up, swell, and overflow. Extreme heat can be felt on my legs and feet. Heat is worse when driving below 5th gear (anything below about 60-65mph). *Tr

Vehicle has no means of releasing heat trapped under plastic paneling when at low speeds or when vehicle is stopped. Had two breakdowns at stop and go situations where the vehicle was not moving allowing heat to escape. This affected other components (evaporator canister...Ect) which cause failure and renders the vehicle unsafe. Having conversations with brp I know they are aware and have no solution. This is not an isolated incident brp now has come out with the 2014 model and clearly states in its advertising...

This vehicle has an extremely dangerous heat problem. Heat builds up under the fiberglass panels which results in the gas cap becoming too hot to touch with your bare hand, and gasoline boiling in the tank. Also, the radiator fan blows very hot air on my right foot which is very uncomfortable. Additionally, I can smell gas fumes when riding, and the fumes are overpowering when parking the bike after riding. I leave the bike outside my garage until the fumes dissipate, as I feel that it dangerous to park in the...

Strong odor of raw gas when cruising or standing still. Overpowering. Does not matter how much fuel is in tank. At times acts like it is about to run out of gas. *Tr
