Hello everyone. I've been gone for a few years. In 18 I traded my 08 Spyder SM5 for a 2017 Vanderhall Venice. Now I'm just starting to think about going back to a Spyder. My one big question is...
The first day I saw a Spyder go past me in 2008, I instantly knew I had to go home and google what it was that caught my eye. I few weeks later, I was a very happy owner. Now, 10 years later I was...
Steering goes on and off at will. One min it’s working the next min it’s off. It’s also very “crunchy” when I turn the bars from side to side. It was replaced years ago under recall and now it’s out...
Hello, I wonder if it's possible to replace a DPS unit myself. My local dealer wants $1,800 and BRP won't cover it. It was already replaced under recall years ago. Thanks for any advice.
How can I get this? It doesn't seem to show up on the website. I've used it before and it works very well. It just seems so hard to get. Such a great product should be more easily available.
It looks like a Q-tec conversion. http://www.qtec-engineering.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102&Itemid=50
Alex, I have the same problem ('08 GS SM5). I just replaced tail/brake bulbs with LEDs and get limp mode. If I have one LED and one reg bulb everything works. With two LEDs I get limp mode and...
I brought my 2008 in for tune up in May of this year and mechanic told me steering wasn't right and some recall replacements (which I had in 2010) were also bad. I knew that it wasn't right since I...
I'm also retiring from 37 years of education in 39 days, but who's counting. I noticed in you sig, a high mount brake light. What is that?
It may look ok. But is it just me, or is everything from BRP WAY OVERPRICED??

The power on the S model is great. 0 - 60 in about 6 seconds. It makes stop signs fun now that I can nail it and have fun shifting again. Kind of like on the spyder.
My spyder now has a sister. Funny thing is that the Mini Roadster is about the same length and really close to the same width. The hardest part of each morning now is deciding which one to take to...
It's funny that the mini roadster isn't much longer than the Spyder and about the same width. Now the hard part is deciding which one to take to work. At least now on the really hot days I can go...
I saw some spiders on craig's list under jersey shore. Good luck
I live in Bayville. I bought my GS from Extreme. It's 1 hour away up 571 to Hwy 33. pm me if you want to know about my experience with their service. I still go there because it's the only one...
I've been looking for a new car lately and since it's been beautiful in NJ, I took the Spyder. My friend asked how I got away without being hounded by the sales people. Easy I said, all they wanted...
Thank you!!! This has lots of potential in my middle school art classes.
Did anyone check out his site. He has a Spyder look alike called a C Org. His work is amazing.
3 weeks ago my front sprocket went. The belt pulled hard into engine/trans. It wore about 1/8th inch off belt. I had it towed to dealer. They had no idea what it could be. They never saw this...
I don't think it will happen. Way too much money for what you get. As for parts: I had to wait weeks to get my spider fixed because as my service guy told me "you know, Canada is another country" ...
Yesterday I took a BRP demo ride. I had to fill out paper work and watch a video even though I told them I already own a 08 RS. I wanted to try an RT (sm5) without dealer hassles. We took a nice...
It wasn't a word processing thing. I went to preview post and changed a few things then sent post. It just happened for some reason. It's probably some html stuff that for in there somehow. ...
The belt started to barely wear the crankcase kind of like sled's. No other damage. And I have BEST coverage for whatever that may be worth. I'll see. Service mgr thinks engine mounts may have...
I went for a nice ride last Sunday (about 2 hours). It felt a little weird on the way home. Once in the garage I checked it out and the belt was pressed hard against the engine....
Talk about a close call. Watch this video http://www.gizmag.com/close-call-bmw-s1000rr/19667/

BRP is doing demo rides at Roar to the Shore in Wildwood, NJ in September. Do they have RT's to ride or just RS's? Thanks
I am also feeling too much heat on the left side. I have the missing air dam, air mgm't system and heat shield. I also changed the pipe gaskets with the gold wing ones (both sides). I have also...
I had my first Spyder sighting (a red RS) heading south on Rt 9 in Bayville, NJ. I waved to him all excited like a little kid. Then I felt kinda stupid for getting so excited. I guess I'll be...
