• 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.

Your Spyder - What Year, Model, Miles, Issues... ??

2012 RT A&C. DPS warning and limp mode twice. Rear shock leaks down air overnight. 3500 miles. No real complaints but reading all the "Horror" stories here makes me hesitant to go out of town.
 
2011 RT-S-SM5

33,030 miles since Aug 2011. Oil leak in water pump housing, few small things + evap cannister (finally removed and problem solved.)
Never missed a whole day due to mx problems. Couldn't be happier

RT Problems

2011 RT Limited, 15,000 klms (9,320 miles)

Fuel gauge replaced twice
Replaced rear air shock
Shift linkage fell off (I fixed that)

Like Bob, I love it and won't get rid of it for anything.....Well if someone wanted to trade a Bugatti for it I would consider that, but that’s it!

Dave ;)

Hi Flamingobabe!

Have to ask...PitBull???? Is that where you purchased your 2013? Have you had any dealings with Mancuso Gulf Freeway?

2013 Rt Ltd.

4,600 miles. Broken rt. frt. sway bar link just before 600 miles, stalled a few times randomly, dealer repaired sway bar link, stalling has not occurred since. Presently electric trunk release inop. squeaky rt. frt. mirror when I hit bumps, and sometimes erratic opening of rear side compartments on first try. These items will be repaired next week under warranty during my routine svc. Those listed are truly minor, I am concerned a little regarding the heavy fuel smell in the garage after a ride which I will ask them to address, but I am not optimistic on a true cure. We have truly enjoyed each and every mile and have 0 regrets to this point.

You haven't had the dealer replace the rear shock airbag? It should be done under warranty.
 
Uh oh... got my first orange screen today... after gettin gback from taking daughter to piano lesson, "trunk open".... so I closed it. :-) Daughter needs to learn how to shut it. :pray:
 
2010 base RT 35,000 miles. DPS unit replaced on recall; throttle body replaced under warranty; cracked coolant reservoir (It happened sitting in the garage but it was only a seep and I think I could have fixed it with duct tape well enough to get me home.) Never stranded us on the road. Love traveling on it. Would not hesitate to leave right now for Maine, Oregon, Alaska, anywhere I could ride it without having to swim. Cotton
 
2023

2013RTS.bought may 27th.7000 miles.NO PROBLEMS. spyderann01.we were in vegas the 15th,16th and17th of june this year.dam its hot out there.I expected to come out and find a yellow blob where the spyder had been sitting.I heard it was hotter a few days after we left.
 
2009 GS 29k miles, NO PROBLEMS (DPS replacement per recall, gas cap replacement per recall)
2009 GS 21k miles, NO PROBLEMS (DPS replacement per recall, gas cap replacement per recall)
2013 STS 2k miles, melted master cylinder cap and heat damaged seals in master cylinder, boiling gas, gas cap too hot to touch, left thigh gets 1st degree burns from panel, twitchy steering, bad front shocks (BRP replaced per tech bulletin), turn signal selector sticks when turning left requiring replacement left control module, spark plugs white from running way too lean.

Still love to ride it... but 2013 was not a good year for BRP. Neither was 2008 so I hear :)
 
2012 RT SM5

Purchased new on April 30.

3,800 trouble-free miles. Only issue was a warranty gasket replacement at the water pump. But even that wasn't bad enough to keep me from riding it while the part was being ordered.

Love this thing!!!!! :thumbup:
