    - MURPHY, NC

    PLASTIC CAP ON TOP OF MASTER CYLINDER MELTED CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO POUR OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSING A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, SINCE THE MASTER CYLINDER IS TO THE RIGHT AND BELOW THE GAS TANK. ALSO, A RIDER COULD BE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND SUDDENLY LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE AND HAVE NO WAY TO STOP. ABOUT 3-4 INCHES IN FRONT OF THE MC IS AN EXHAUST PIPE THAT GETS VERY HOT. BRP, THE MANUFACTURER, SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH A HEAT SHIELD OR SOME OTHER REMEDY TO KEEP HEAT OFF THE PLASTIC CAP OR REPLACE THE CAP WITH A MORE HEAT-RESISTANT MATERIAL. MORE AND MORE RIDERS THAT OWN 2013 SPYDERS ARE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. THIS LOOKS LIKE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
