Newbie with a couple questions

[Sam Mac]

OK I'm a newbie and I'd like to know what are "Farkles" and what is "BUDS" ? I'm guessing Farkles are add-on's and BUDS has something to do with a dealer computer hookup. Please enlighten me.


Thanks

Sam Mac

BUDS is BRP's proprietary control module interface. Dealers use to analyze, troubleshoot and issue state commands and parameters to the various control modules. "Farkle" is a combination of two words "f^cking" and "sparkle," used as you indicated to describe add-ons, usually chrome (hence the "sparkle"). Welcome to the club!

B.U.D.S stands for BRP Utility and Diagnostic Software. :)

As far as that other word goes I'll let the people that do that kind of thing explain... my RS-S is still completely stock.

Thank you for the info. No "Farkles" and so for no need for a "BUDS" treatment. That just sounds wrong.

Great forum and seems like a very cool group. Can't wait to get on the road again. :yes:

Farkles can be anything from foam hand grips to Floorboards to LED lights etc. etc. etc.

above all....welcome..!! :yes::yes: BUDS (BRP utility diagnostic softwear) used on most of the recreational vehicles. Good to have your spyder hooked up from time to time because many issues produce code that are stored and can only be read/cleared with buds. There are other proceedures that require buds as well. Other issues you will see yourself. As said farkles are the goodies you add on to persoalize your machine. Bewear of this one cause once you start it is near impossible to stop...:roflblack:
