• 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.

The wife and I rode it over the weekend and I have rode the last two days also. NO issues so far, it appears that they got all the issues fixed correctly. As far as selling...

    At this point in time not sure what my next ride will be. Had a HD Freewheeler before the Spyder, did not care for the ride or handling at all. Kind of in limbo currently.

    Thanks to everyone for your replies and concerns. To answer some people, I have contacted BRP, past and present. I've been told that there is nothing they can do about a dealer because they are owned and operated independently from BRP and they have no say over the dealership. At this point in...

    Parking brake light comes on & brakes lock up - UPDATE!

    My dealer just called me last Friday. Still no answers on what the problems are with the parking brake and other electric issues. Down for its third week and still not resolved. Terrible customer service, and I agree that BRP should be a lot quicker at getting their parts to the dealers. My RT...

    Question as to if the dealer was the HD Dealership that I purchased the Spyder from. No, he's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He is a HD and BRP dealer, very good dealership, just over 300 miles away to try and get any service done. Did contact BRP and gave them the dealership name and information about...
