• 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.

    You, sir, are now way out of line and no longer deserving of a meaningful debate.

    Thank you Bob, you are a wise and kind gentleman and I will always consider you a friend.

    You're right, now everyone does know all the risks, but before I posted it was obvious that many did not. We all believe we're right when we post our opinions aren't we. I'm no different, but I am outspoken and may indeed vehemently debate my point more than others when I know I'm right and I...

    Convection will continue to cause problems with the radiation blocked and no one's yet proposed any solution for convection, so no one has a solution. Period. Partial, unproven solutions are unacceptable when it comes to the possibility of losing all braking, especially when someone is proposing...

    I have failed to make even you understand the distinct and vital difference between thermal radiation and convection, and that convection not radiation is the real culprit and danger here and cannot be so easily stopped. Didn't anyone here take high school physics? Does anyone understand what...

    Well then you're a genius because even BRP has not managed to do this. You've solved the heat issues and increased performance and gas mileage to boot. What a guy! If you're so certain you've solved the problem that has stumped everyone else, have it patented and sell us and BRP your solution...

    At the risk of further incurring your or anyone else's wrath please understand that these FLIR scans show only infrared radiation escaping from outside the covers. In order to accurately measure the real world situation you need to remove the covers and take additional scans or use temperature...

    Lamont, I highly respect you and do not wish to contradict you, however you of all people should be extra, extra careful of anything you say in this particular very serious case. What you say is good enough for you will be good enough for almost all, so unless you know for certain, which none of...

    Jim, my first name is Jim. I do not own a 2013, I own a 2011 RS-S. It too has heat issues but only with burning legs, nothing as serious as melting brake components. I cannot speak for the ECM flash or the cat removal but I can tell you all the heat mods I've done to my Spyder have not worked...

    I'm sorry but this misinterpretation of what pipe wrap does is invalid for resolving the brake issue and is exactly the kind of misguided attempt at fixing the problem that I'm talking about. The only valid scientific reason to wrap pipes is to allow a small amount of radiated heat to be...

    Bob, Please don't get me wrong, my intention is not to rain on anyone's parade and I applaud owners' attempts to try to resolve the problem, however misguided. I'm just very concerned due to two reasons. One, these are brakes we're dealing with here and thus people's lives are at stake, and two...

    I really wish this or any of the solutions posted here could work but it's not likely. Again think of your kitchen oven. If you heated it up to its maximum temperature of 500 °F (which is still low compared to the 900+ °F heat coming from the exhaust) and you put a potato inside the oven do you...

    Should I do electrical mods?

    1) will adding electrical mods create other problems with the electronics? I have come across stories of other problems cropping up. Not if you do it correctly. Like any mod proper planning and proper methods are essential. 2) will us void the warrantee? Almost everyone does mods so if BRP...

    Spyder Accident in Vermont on Facebook says 2 Riders from Florida dead

    So sad, my condolences to their family. Like anywhere in the US, Vermont rural roads can be tricky and require constant vigilance. I've had plenty of close calls. Ride safe everyone.

    I've stated this before and I'll state it again, fiberglass or basalt pipe wrap is not an effective solution for heat issues. One eighth inch of such an insulation is simply not going to stop 900+ °F of constant heat emission. The best it can do is block some minor amount of infrared radiation...
