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.

OEM belt guard
No I think it goes more like this: HD Bikers were Telling me they LOVE to SMOKE the belt and the guard!!!!.
Seriously, what would a Harley guy know about Spyders except what they had heard from others????

I have the OEM belt guard...
I have the OEM belt guard on my new 2016 ST-S...not sure if this was installed as a "stock" item from BRP, but I certainly didn't have the dealer add it.
I know rkba101 recently reported an issue with his coming off and causing issues.
As I ride more, I expect I will occasionally be faced with short stretches of dirt/gravel roads and chip seals.
Question...is there any reason to replace/augment with an aftermarket belt guard e.g. Spyderpops, or is the OEM sufficient to do the job?
Thanks!

The fact that the belt guard is wide open on the inside is inexcusable in my view wouldn’t take much to make a plastic to enclose it and protect it better I have lost a belt and a day riding due to a 3/8 stone. $300 and I now carry a spare ask the HD guys if they can change a belt roadside they can’t you have to pull the swing arm bolt on a HD , at least on a spyder you can put a belt on pretty easy
Don't believe someone who's bike sets at red lights and shakes all over. Or they keep revving it up because they think it giong to quit.

The Spyderpops " missing Belt Guard was the first mod I did to my 2016 RT Limited. I picked up a small stone on my first weekend ride. Lucky for me is was very small but still had to be pried out of the belt. I had the shop look at it and I inspect the pin hole before every ride.

Do the easiest and most reasonably priced option, install a Spyderpops missing belt guard, read the instructions and install it.
The first three things I did to my Spyder in one afternoon as soon as I brought it home from the dealer were the KOTTS Grilles, Missing Belt Guard and Bump Skid. I did the Bump Skid last because that required the most rolling around on the ground for the old bones.

Does the "missing belt guard" rely help ? Why would BRP not encapsulate the belt ,it is very expensive and could ruin a trip.I have not even got the bike yet,and am ordering " necessary" parts .LOL
