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.

I hope that you realize where the first link takes you...
...to a FORUM!
If I were to base my opinion on what I've seen in here; I'd have been sure that the Spyder would not only burn down; it'd blow up,give me bad breath, vandalize the house, steal my checkbook, sleep with my Missus, and get me kicked out of the Masons! :shocked:

But what effort and funds will BRP put into the investigations? Will they or did they actually hire engineers and fire investigators? BRP has the remains of my Spyder, not my insurance company.

Jerbear, I googled "Corvette fires" and got the same kind of horror stories.

Didn't mean to offend you. Just stating facts as I remember them from back in the 60's.

I like that idea, but it would be hard to do because of the "$4000 rebate/3-year warranty" offer currently running from BRP on untitled 2013 RT's. That drives down the resale price of used 2013's and therefore the trade amount dealers are willing to offer by the same amount. As we get closer to the end of the summer, BRP will likely sweeten the rebate deal for 2013's even more, if there are still many left."As the new year approaches and the 2015 get released. What are we looking at for trade in's on our 13 rts? Half of what we paid for. Mine will be a year old in September with less than 4,000 miles on it. Yes I got the rebate and extended my warranty to 5 years. I put a good amount down the keep the payments down.
We love our Spyder don't penalized us because there could be a fire or there is a heat issue?
If it wasn't for this forum I would not have known about the spyder fires or that there is a heat issue. All I ask is someone needs to try and fix this or let me fix this. Don't threaten me with "you'll loose your warranty if you do that".
I love the Monday/Friday Build thing. Just how do find what day your spyder was built?
Just a little trivia. The man who started the 5 day work week because he found that his production was floundering with to many hours of working was. Henry Ford. So for those of you who don't work retail and have the weekends off. Thank Mr. Ford. Oh! What day is it again? lol

RESALE: The value is going to continue to decline on the 2013's. Ongoing issues (the latest fire) have probably not helped much. You have a lot invested, and if you are happy with it, I would continue to drive it and enjoy it. You have a new machine (4000 miles), a five year warranty, etc. etc. Keep it insured (full coverage) and enjoy. When we have talked issues with 2013's in other threads, many 2013 owners have chimed in and said their machines are perfect, and they love them. The issues are on a few machines and not every one.
Sorry, didn't mean to come across as being offended. Through the years I have heard all the stories about what's wrong about my Corvair and I'm sure I will be hearing more. Now that I have a 2013 Spyder I'll get to hear even more stories, oh well I like both of these vehicles and haven't experienced any of the problems others have had.....So far.

I also had a corvair. Always felt the problems reported were fabricated. Other than not handling well, zero problems. During the same time period it seemed at least once a month there was news coverage of a VW bus burning up. (Late 60s-early 70s)

The M.S.O. is produced by the Manufacturer. The information is defintely on there. Each State does what it does, when it produces the Title... :dontknow:
I'll find a copy of my M.S.O., and let you know where to look...

Do you mean, "CDO"?
After all; shouldn't it be alphabetized? :shocked:

I certainly understand why BRP would want the burned bike. They would not be the ones to hire engineers and investigators. If insurance companies see a pattern large enough to expend the money for an investigation then things would possibly move along. I never stated, nor believe, that BRP would pay for the investigation. I hope all afflicted owners are dealt with properly.
