• 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.

    Spyder Went Crazy

    crazy spyder Exact same thing happened to me. After it happened the second time they replaced the VSS unit. No problems since but I only have about 300 miles on it since then. I had about 19,500 miles on the bike when it happened. Scares the hell out of you when you're going about 75-80 in...

    2010 RT reliability and other questions.

    your problems Wow, can't believe all the problems you've had. I have a 2010 RT 5 speed. DPS, VSS and rear shock leak all fixed under warranty. Coming up on 20,000 miles and it's still going strong. Some have few problems and others have a lot. Wonder if there is anything to that old rumor...

    Need more advice

    I really appreciate the advice given on this site and the expertise of the members so I'm back for more. A couple of weeks ago I posted a story of how my bike started throwing codes for no reason. The opinions were that it could be a computer glitch or outside electrical interference. I took...

    Need your advice

    I have a 2010 RT SM5. While riding home yesterday I was going through a long sweeper at about 65mph when suddenly I lost power, just for a split second. I got an icon on the dash flashing a picture of handlebars. I got to the side of the road. The bike seemed to be running pretty good but not...

    LETTER TO CUSTOMER SERVICE

    Survey Yeah, I had the same problem. I was promised a $500.00 certificate for BRP parts, accessories or clothing. After not hearing from them for a month I sent an E-Mail to Carlo. The next day I received a call from a young lady in Canada and received the letter for purchase within a week...

    Adding BRP fog lights on RT

    BRP lights I have had the BRP fog lights put on my 5 speed by the dealer. I had it done for no charge as part of the purchase so I don't know what the actual price of installation would be.

    Spider spyder

    I was in Target yesterday and saw that they had halloween stuff at 75% off. Purchased black plastic spider rings for kids. Thought it would be nice to hand out to the smaller kids who think the spyder is cool. It would be nice if BRP sent us something like this to hand out as PR instead of the...

    Anyone know about..

    survey I got the mail survey but not the phone call. It was mailed from Niagra Falls, NY. BRP is the closest manufacturer to that location. Seems like a lot of secrecy over nothing. I'm sure the manufacturers have some idea of what the other guy is up to. The questions I was asked zeroed in...

    Good time for a new horn

    While I was having the DPS recall done I thought it would be a good time to have them install louder horns for me. Once they get the tupperware off they're right there so it's a "might as well" job. If you're thinking about getting a new horn now is the time to do it when BRP is going to pay...
