• 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.

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    Ok, I’ll play. 2013 ST - how I miss that little speedster! It had get-up-and-go like crazy… Put on 58,000 miles, only issue was when it got stuck in 4th gear. Some dinky plastic doohickey had snapped, got it replaced at the dealer for under $100. Traded in for a new 2021 RT base model, now at...

    Anyone tried Shortening the rear mud flap?

    Ok, I hear you. I never have a passenger, don’t even have that back seat/top box. (Mine is the base model.) And lengthen it? It’s only 3-4 inches off the ground! Anyway, I’ll leave it alone. It was just a thought…

    Anyone tried Shortening the rear mud flap?

    I have a ‘21 RT base model. Has anyone tried shortening the rear mud flap? I would think it would make examination of the rear tire so much easier. I have to lay on the ground to check my wear bars. I know the big flap keeps the rooster tail of debris off the bike, but it seems so very long...

    Is there a brake light recall now?

    Got my recall letter today. Dealer has to order the parts (for 2021 RT), and says it could take a few weeks. You’d think BRP would have the switches/springs ready to go right out after this much time. Oh well… so far, my brake light is behaving. I ride in a group and they’ll tell me if it is...

    How hot is too hot for Spyder Storage?

    Trailer is black with silver roof. 2 vents on bottom, none on the roof. I know it’ll be blasted hot in there in the summer. I’ll try contacting BRP - a good idea. It’ll be fine most of the year, just worried about June - September, when it’s over 100 and I ride a lot less then. This is what...

    How hot is too hot for Spyder Storage?

    Weird question. I live in So.AZ where it can get over 110 in the summer. Hubby wants to store my 2021 RT in an enclosed 16ft trailer on the side of the house (not much room in garage so this would be easier to get it in and out). Will this be too hot for the bike? Will it harm the electronics?

    Covered Trailer for two?

    Good idea to chalk it out. I will do that. We had planned to remove the saddlebags to get a closer fit, putting one in backwards, but will play around with that. Thanks for the great suggestion! :)

    Covered Trailer for two?

    I have a ‘13 STL and my husband has his eye on an F3T. He’d like to look into getting a covered trailer so we can put both bikes in there for cross country trips. My open 12 ft trailer fits my Spyder and his two-wheeler but is way too small for two Spyders, and we’re thinking we need a 16...

    Dark Center Screen

    Well, this was weird- maybe just a glitch? Parked my '13 STL in partial shade today. Left for almost an hour, and bike was in full sun when I got back. Went to start up and the center screen stayed black. But the bike started right up and everything else was working fine. Drove about 2 miles...

    Updated airflow panels question

    I bought a '13 STL in April, used, from a dealer, no extended warranty. And no updated airflow panels. I know, I am new to this and didn't do enough homework, didn't know about that issue. So here is my question: Is it harmful to the motor not to have them on? I contacted BRP who says a...

    Orange screen! Oh no!

    No, I checked the oil (when the bike was warm) and it was full. That wasn't the issue, I guess. Anyway, the codes cleared and I've been out this weekend with it and had no problems.

    Orange screen! Oh no!

    Just had my 9300 mile service done last week. So SHOULD be ok.

    Orange screen! Oh no!

    Newbie here-this is my first bike. I bought a '13 STL 4 months ago and have put 2500 miles on so far with no issues. Then this am, stopped at a Walmart, and when I got back on, it was stuck in 1st gear and when I asked for Reverse, I got to see the dreaded Orange Screen of Death and the words...
