    Very Interesting! I thought we were fixed with multiple DPS replacements.
    So, that was a temp fix, when I and many others were told it was "fixed".
    I look forward to it, won't have that funny feeling in the back of my mind.BRP.

    Mods!

    I suppose we could talk about more Performance Testing as well though.

    Actually, I'm not worried. It will be nice to put the DPS issue behind us, that is for sure.

    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.

    Premium or regular gas?
    Car tires versus Spyder tires?
    Helmets or no helmets?
    Proper belt tension?
    To top off or not to top off?

    That is actually a valid question. If I recall correctly, the only ones who have reported a fire so far are those who have not had the vent tube extended. So, I think that may be the actual fix for the fire issue.

    Default YEP, FINGERS AND TOES

    It looks like it might be TRUE, I have not had problems but I was thinking sooner or later and wouldn't it be GREAT to have ATTADUDE back and meet him in CUBA MO, next SPRING. I bet 600+ will be there

    I for one am impressed, this will be a major undertaking and if BRP can fix all Spyders I for one will spend money with them again. Fire issue I'm happy with the idea of extending the vent hose out of harms way and I believe that is the best fix possible short of complete redesign.
