• 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 Apple Carplay won't work without a headset! Any luck in getting BRP to address this safety & inconvenient issue?

    To eliminate the obvious (I've been burned here myself) -- check the volume on the bike. Don't think I did anything other than that. I was shocked it just started working (I played some music to test).

    Spyder Apple Carplay won't work without a headset! Any luck in getting BRP to address this safety & inconvenient issue?

    Cheaper solution for 2024 RT (my S2S anyway)... $14 from amazon - plug into back top case, select it as driver headset, connect iPhone as usual, and sound comes out speakers. Great for summer riding when I use a half helmet: UGREEN Aux to Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter 3.5mm Bluetooth Receiver

    Finally finished installing H&R Performance Swaybar & Wilbers Longer Shocks

    Somehow missed these - sorry. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up! I had the BajaRon on my new to me 2015 (came with it). The HR and Shocks together made me feel a lot better on the 2024. The HR are on MartinTheVlogger's site...

    Rare video from High performance Shock Factory - How the best shocks are built?

    My Wibers made an amazing difference on my '24 S2S -- waiting when they will do the rear shock too!

    My very old Garmin GPS is not usable in sunlight, will newer ones work better?

    I had the Zumo and then the newer Zumo XT -- that is noticeably brighter and worked well until I made the switch to 2024/ACP.

    Is Lamonster Windshield Cleaner still available? What else won't hurt the windshield?

    I've been using Plane Perfect from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0774WFCXL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finished install of Wilbers longer shocks and H&R Performance sway bar. All I can say is... WOW... Bike feels "planted" now. Crisp turns, even at speed. Off to a local ride (~100 Spyders) at our local US Spyder Ryders here in NH. Special thanks to MartinTheVlogger for great customer service...

    Why should I consider upgrading the shocks? What should I expect if I do?

    Quick update - the longer Wilbers are now installed. Pretty easy install and already making a world of difference. Side benefit - the increased length (1cm?) actually lets the windshield sit a little higher for better protection. I'm a big guy and tried purposely braking much harder than...

    Apple Car Play download initially failed! NOW Finally available....

    iOS 18 beta doesn’t work with ACP. iOS 17 betas work fine. Tried connecting after installing iOS 18 beta and getting not compatible message. Reported to Apple but I’m rolling my phone back to 17.

    2024 RT wont shift into reverse

    Dealer followup for my reverse/downshift issue... Dealer can't find any codes on my 2024 S2S that intermittently won't go into reverse and sometimes won't even downshift automatically. Test drives all worked fine for them... So I'll keep riding and when it happens again, escalate. Problems...

    2024 RT wont shift into reverse

    Thanks - I did search first... Luckily (?!?) I was on the road just now when reverse failed at the start of the ride - THEN - it would not auto-downshift. Passed by dealer and showed them the problem while I wait for my service appt next week. Murphy's law - restarted the bike at dealer -...

    2024 RT wont shift into reverse

    Anyone else having issues with their 2024 not consistently shifting into Reverse? Happened multiple times now - no rhyme/reason or reproducible. Somewhat related, I had an experience where bike seemed to shift from 1st to 2nd, but display didn't change (was going slow so maybe dreaming!). But...
