• 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, how fast can a spyder go and safely make a sharp right turn at an intersection?

    I am by no means an expert. We have only had the Spyder (2013 STS) for a couple of months. My GF rides it mostly. She has put close to 5000km on it in about 2 months. I still ride my Goldwing. Whenever I take the Spyder for a run I immediately go in Snowmobile Mode. I've been riding sleds my...

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    I guess I'm lucky here in Newfoundland. I have an 08 Goldwing and my local Honda dealer has no issue at all working on it or getting parts. Just bought a 2013 STS for my GF and the BRP dealer has no issue working on the "older" bikes. I needed to have the brake light switch assembly replaced...

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    I bought the Spyder for my GF. She is just starting out riding at 53 after spending her time on the back of my Goldwing. She said she would feel better on the Spyder. If it meant getting her on the road then a Spyder it was. I rode one a few years ago and it felt like I was riding a snowmobile...

    2013 STS - Is the Signal Switch easily replaced?

    The signal switch on our 2013STS is acting up. Sometimes you have to press it twice to cancel and the left turn signal sometime won’t come on unless you push the switch multiple times. Can the switch be easily replaced or will I have to buy an entire switch cluster.

    Is there a USB Port available to fit the space in the dash?

    Is there a USB port available that goes in one of the holes next to the park brake switch. Wanting to put one on my 2013 ST. Thought I saw one somewhere

    How difficult is Removing the BRP Back rest on 2013 ST-S?

    Recently bought this 2013 STS. How difficult is it to remove the back rest? The bike will be ridden solo and I have the stock cover to go back on the tail. No need for the back rest.

    Lift Jacks Revisited - what's a viable lift jack to SAFELY raise a Spyder?

    I see one of those Big Blue lifts in my future. I have a Goldwing and now the '13 STS. Will make life a lot easier for sure.

    New to Group and Spyders. 2013 STS already having issues - VSS & Limp Mode

    Thanks for the reply Peter. Believe me I wish I knew then what I know now. I already have a service manual downloaded for the bike. To be honest the last thing I would have thought about was that a sticky brake light would cause that issue. I have never had anything that a brake light switch...

    New to Group and Spyders. 2013 STS already having issues - VSS & Limp Mode

    Thanks. I plan to do most of the maintenance once I get a bit more familiar with it. No issues around here with dealers not taking anything over 10. My Goldwing is an 08 and the local Honda dealer is top notch. Will work on anything. The guys at the BRP dealer seem pretty good as well. Looking...

    New to Group and Spyders. 2013 STS already having issues - VSS & Limp Mode

    Unfortunately there is no other dealer closer than 4 hours away. And I know nothing about the mechanics of the Spyder. They said there was some sort of service bulletin for the mounting bracket for the brake light switch. Says it warps or something. I've dealt with these guys before when I had a...
