• 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.

    Vibration on 2012 RTS

    I too had this problem on my 2012 RT and after many shop visits and phone calls to BRP we finally solved the vibration issue at least on this bike. We played with the belt tension and added an idler all to no avail. Then late last fall after riding a loaner 2010 RT which had none of the same...

    Leaning spyder engineering.....

    I would love to see something like this; however, BRP may be just a little late in getting their patent for it looks as if "TMW" already has one for the same design. I chatted with TMW by email 10 days ago and they stated this years entire production is committed to HD bikes. They do have plans...

    RT Vibration continues

    Dropped my RT off this morning as BRP requested to look into the vibration, CB Radio and Blue Tooth issues and was given a loaner to use until my bike is repaired. The loaner is a 2010 RT with 7000 miles and what a difference, ran it through all my vibration speeds that I have on my bike and...

    RT Vibration continues

    Phone Call I just received a phone call from BRP Customer Service regarding the belt vibrations and other issues on my 2012 Spyder. They have made arrangements with my dealer to provide me with a loaner for a few days while they address the vibrations and other outstanding issues. My dealer had...

    RT Vibration continues

    I wish you luck getting BRP to respond, I have been waiting a month after the local BRP Rep stated they would be in contact. You need to have your dealer show you the video that BRP has produced for it's dealers showing the belt vibrating wildly, and BRP telling them this is normal. Then add...

    UNRESOLVED VIBRATION ISSUES ON 2012 RT LIMITED

    If BRP was to ask me to try a different belt I would be happy to oblige. I have considered that there may be a difference or a lack of standards in how the belts are built. However, after all the visits to the maintenance shop to adjust the belt, re-balance tires, check other potential problems...

    UNRESOLVED VIBRATION ISSUES ON 2012 RT LIMITED

    I too feel your pain, for I too have a 2012 that we seem to be unable to get rid of all the vibration. I have spent over $1000.00 on this problem and have been able to reduce some of the vibration but not eliminate it. Yes, the Smooth Idler helped a lot and tightening the belt helped even more...

    How many of you would buy a new RTS right now, if it came out with a bigger engine?

    I agree, my job this winter will be deciding what manufacturer and model my next bike will be. I do enjoy riding the Spyder, but BRP has no idea what it customer supports means. I have heard all types of promises; however, they have yet to fulfill even one thus far. I know there are a lot of...

    BR1 IS IN TROUBLE

    Sorry to hear of your BRP issues, I too have seem to have had some BRP troubles. I am also thinking about GW Trike but when the RT is working it is a nice handling bike, I will have to think about it over the winter.

    CB Radio Issues
