There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
what other brp products do you have?

It's funny because I've always been anti-BRP. I've got a Polaris Snowmobile and Sportsman XP quad. The Spyder brought me over to the dark side, but I'll probably stick to Polaris for my other toys.
I have a 1988 first model year Sea Doo running for the 22nd summer. All original engine with just battery, plugs, starter and impeller replaced. 580 cc Rotax two stroke runs like new. I had a 1995 first model year BRP Speedster jet boat with twin 650 Rotax two stroke engines that I ran for ten years and only replaced batteries, plugs and impeller wear rings. After one year and 6,000 miles, my luck with the Spyder has been similar as my only issue is burn mark on muffler. Hope steering recall doesn't screw things up.

:agree:I was the same. I used to laugh at the broken-down Seadoos while my Yamaha FX SHO personal watercraft has always been 100% reliable after many hours of use.

I have a RXP limited Sea Doo that I just had to have the engine changed on after 150 hours. A piston came through the side of the block. Dealer Maintained.
A 650 XT Quad that seems pretty bullet proof. I rolled it three times and it other than some manly looking scars it does just fine.
The Sea Doo experience ($6700) made me realize I had better start doing my own maintenance, because it is the only way to get it done correctly.
Spyder #610 30,000 miles and except for a reoccuring steering problem, even after recall, it is a doozy. I go back in the shop for the steering thing on Tuesday. Now the power steering goes away but it won't come back on half way through the turn, which makes it way less dangerous.

Got the hat and a jacket. BRP T-shirts seem sorta 70s Euro-look, and are priced to stay in the store.
