Do a search . . . There are multiple threads on both of the Spyder sites on which many dozens of folks have responded to this issue. The vast majority in the positive!

Dude, you don't even live in MD-I am looking for MD Spyder and MD dealer feedback only.
By the way: 43% have had bad results with recall software update.

Please check your original post. Where does it say you are only interested in MD feedback?
Dude, 57% is still a majority on my math scale.

Hi Don,
Does Talbot Power Sports work on your Spyder while you wait?

Recall
Had the Recall done, bike got worse. Today 8-18-09 called BRP rep, spoke with him and he reminded me to tell the shop to call BRP tech and report the issue. I called the 1-866-767-0707 number the person was very understanding, hopfully the company comes up with a solution. Must be hard though with all the different situations with mods done and all the different pipes. He said, "they think that might be some of the problems". Good luck to all of us. I pick my up today and I hope it's running better. Let you know tonight or tommorw.

Picked up
Picked up my Spyder, dealer fixed park brake, checked air box for oil, looked at trying to fix backfire, and checked fuel line. Park brake fixed, they said a little oil in air box cleaned it up, told me not to worry about the backfire it usually happens in the 3500 to 4000 rpm range and I should just keep an eye on it. fuel line they put a line cover like they did on 2009 model. The great news is they didn't charge me anything. Blackmans in Emmaus, PA are wonderful, they have treated me like gold. They also contacted BRP and reported it.

The backfire seems to be normal for this recall software but not normal for the Spyder, or any properly tuned motorcycle. IMHO
I might suggest that you keep the revs up between shifts and maybe you can avoid some of the backfiring instances.
Glad that everything else is working good for you.

started backfiring continuosly in second gear 25 to 30 miles per hour even
while on the throttle.I was afraid the locals were going to start shooting back!We stopped for lunch for about an hour and when we left everything
seemed back to normal untill we got into a backup at Harpers Ferry then it started again.Even when we got moving again at 60+ I would still get backfiring on decel.Contaced my dealer Hanover Motosports told them the
problem and they contacted BRP with my vin #.Still have not heard back from BRP.Since I have the Hindle exhaust figured it might be a "lean"
problem so I broke down and bought the Juicebox and installed it 8/21.
WOW! Best 300 bucks I have spent on .still tweaking but think I am on the right track.still "minor" popping when it gets hot.
Sounds like you found a good solution. As you can read on this forum, BRP changed the software that determines when the purge valve opens and closes-causing these problems.
Simple test is to plug line out of valve and see if bike runs normally. Lamonster has a video on it.
Thx for the update
Cheers
Steve
