• 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.

Why was thread yanked?

Good to actually see someone stick up for, and say something positive about their machine as well as not being miserable [emoji106]
The only two significant issues I've had with mine were both not related to heat - DPS failure and air shock leakage. Otherwise I put 13,000 fun miles on it last year! I even fill the tank right up to the filler neck without problems. I will admit my machine is not 100% fume free but have had no fumes that have been unbearable. And it does get hot in southern Idaho in the summer. In fact on the return on both of my two trips to Louisiana the last two falls the warmest part of the trip was the last day in Idaho!
 
I've learned that if I top off with gas, right before I get home (less than a half mile from the gas station) there are no fumes. If I lived farther from the gas station, I'd keep a full gas can at home to do the same. The cooler gas being pumped in stops the boiling and the expansion and fuming . . . pretty simple solution, and my Spyder is always fueled and ready to hit the road.
 
First of all,you have to admit the image from DrewNJ was funny. Second of all, the way this thread is going, it will be the next to get yanked. Cheer up people, we will all be back on our Spyders soon, talking about all the great trips we made, and complaing about all the cages cutting us off. Good Times!!!!
 
No misery here..2013 ST Limited

Dennis

Just a reminder here Dennis, this thread is about the 2013 RT, RTS and RT Limited.

Glad you like and enjoy your 2013
ST.

We have a good friend whose 2013 burst into flames on the Hiway and totally burned to the ground. Luckily she got off without serious injuries. I no longer wanted to expose my wife to this danger ( we had severe gas fumes all the time). After working with BRP on several fixes I really saw no solution to this in the near future. Traded for a 2014 which we love but it did cost a lot. What is your or your wife's life worth. That was the question.

There are good Spyders out there but not when the temps reach 90-120 degrees and you are driving a 2013 RT.

And the more and more all of this goes on and people keep complaining, the less and less the 2013's are worth.....
I know that if I had joined here to research buying a spyder, I'd be scared to death of a 2013!


I have a 2013, be afraid...be very afraid. roflmao

Poor baby, sorry to hear.
 
You are killing it tonight Drew. I got a long night of work ahead of me so keep em coming. Nice having another sarcastic person on here.
[emoji106]:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
Lol...I'm sure people will be freaking out soon enough. Thin skin is pretty common around here, unfortunately.
 
So true. And getting thinner all the time. I enjoy watching people say something bad about someone, and then when it comes back at em, they get all upset.

And this thread gets pulled in 5...4...3...
 
You 2 are offensive, I'm reporting you.

Can you 2 tell me where the report button is? Or should I ask Bob? :p

Just another example of a hijacked thread. What do all of these comments have to do with the OP's question? I yanked the thread for this very reason. Blast away. I'm wearing my flack jacket. Damn, said I wasn't going to do this. Put me on ignore.

This thread was doomed from the start with just the title alone!
Its all good old guy. You have always seemed like a good, level headed guy. Just don't take anything on here personally, because none of it is meant that way.

He's okay, but don't make his head swell. It won't be pretty. :shocked:
