• 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.

    Anyone have experience with DVR Placement? Where did you put yours?

    I have a different camera system but is similar, installed on my 2018 F3L. I put the DVR under the pillion seat. Easy to get to. Take a look there on your mystery Spyder. That may work on yours.

    Is this what Programing a new key takes & costs?

    It is likely that you will have to go to the dealer to program the new keys into the bike. It is possible that someone near you has BUDS2 and can program the keys for you. Ask around.

    What BUDS do I need to buy for my 2014 RTS?

    Buds for your 2014. Buds2 for 2017 and later models. No matter the buds type you will need a mpi cable/adapter and a windows laptop.

    Having problems getting insurance in Canada - who do you use?

    I have Intact. I hit a dog with my 2013 STL, on a Monday night. Did about $1500 damage. Next morning I called the dealer and had them order all the parts. I looked up all the parts myself on BRPs online parts catalog. Told them I would pay if insurance did not. Called the insurance Company...

    Parking Brake will not release - any better fix than disconnecting?

    It's fixed!!!!!!! I called Seminole Power Sports. They had the parts and willing to squeeze me in. So a big Thank You to them. Thank You to all of you that left comments. The drive motor was bad and needed to be replaced. The U code was a red herring. The motor is a dumb device and does not...

    Parking Brake will not release - any better fix than disconnecting?

    I agree it is likely a com issue. It is likely a faulty brake module. But your post got me thinking. I have couple aftermarket addons. It may be electrical noise. I will unplug them a see if that makes any difference.

    Parking Brake will not release - any better fix than disconnecting?

    All I got is a set of wrenches. So I do have 12mm wrench. There is no attempt to work. Even with the brake cable disconnected.

    Parking Brake will not release - any better fix than disconnecting?

    I don't think it is voltage/power issue. Doesn't matter if the engine is running or not and the running engine takes a week battery out of the picture. The U code points to a com issue.

    Oil - why would you use Rotella T6, a diesel oil, in your Spyder?

    Well isn't that interesting. The online specs from shell's site does not list the 15W40 as JASO MA/M2. Several years ago I checked the jugs in the store. The 5W40 had the motorcycle symbol on the front label and the JASO MA/M2 on the back. The other 2 viscosities did not. Well now I have to...
