• 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.

My choice would be between number two and three. The radio system had to be replaced and the rear air shock thing was defective and BEST didn't cover it's replacement at $400! Other than that, it's been good.
 
Hmmm. I consider normal wear and tear to be synonymous with trouble free. :dontknow:

So... trouble free for me!

John, my rear airbag got replaced by BEST no charge because it had a tear...:dontknow:

:agree: I voted the same way!
 
Have had both of my cables for the truck and seat fail on me, and the cables aren't covered under warrenty. Luckily they're only $26.
 
I get the occasional DPS error, but a quick reset of the computer resolves it, and I'll get another 1000 miles trouble free.
 
Have to agree..!!

Would segregating between RT and rs make sense for this Poll?

RT's have so many bells and whistles on them. From what I read here most glitches are on them. They are also the ones that get the most farkels that tend to complicate things. And ST's can't play yet...:roflblack::roflblack:
 
Just a question, Does trouble free mean you had some problems but they were covered under warranty?
So if you didn't have to pay to fix it, That's considered trouble free...??

Hope trouble free means just what it says.......otherwise we checked the wrong box. :dontknow:
 
My RT has been trouble free except for the known DPS and throttle body issues. In each case, they were quickly resolved by my dealer and Cowtown (throttle body died at SF last year). Yes, there was a few hours of downtime but used that to visit the vendors.;)

4,000 miles and one year later, no problems to speak of on my '08 GS. Course, I may have jinxed everything by saying that! :sour:
 
Thanks to everyone who has participated in the quality surveys 1 and 2 so far. I have been on egg shells as to how it would be received. Thanks for your objectivity.

How can Spyderlovers collectively improve the Dealer side of of a new Spyder purchase? As has been said over and over, exceptional customer service and skilled technicians make or break the deal.

How can BRP improve the supply side of the manufacturing process and assure a trouble free machine out the door?

I suggest a sort of two part check list that requires both BRP and any dealer regardless of its technician's skill levels complete it before the Spyder will even start much less leave the lot.


In a few hours I'm going to hopefully test ride a new ST-SE5. :yes:

I do know that several things trigger a customer satisfaction survey emailed to you from BRP... I hope they read them.
