• 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.

    Gas Smell

    Yea this way if it spontaneously combusts you can make sure the entire building and all it's contents go up with the Spyder. A machine spewing gas IS NOT NORMAL unless a spill is caused when filling. The gas in your tank is boiling the Spyders are known for getting the tanks really hot hot...

    I'm melting...

    Keep on mind to own a Spyder you have to be willing to spend allot more cash to make it rideable and enjoyable if you do not believe me just look at how many aftermarket vendors have popped up because of the shortcomings of the design of this machine. Most of the farkels are for rider comfort...

    front fender support arm broken

    Yikes good thing he did not have to use those brakes in a hurry. I wonder if cost of MFG is cuprit here and cheap lighter materials subject to cyclic loading is causing the failure. If the OP would post close up of the fracture face one could see if it was a brittle fracture or a fatigue...

    Numb Throttle Hand

    You probably suffer from carpel tunnel narrowing of the area where the nerves run through. There is company that is called Sims Vibration Labratory's they make essentially stick on vibration dampeners for bows and guns etc but I used them on my former Spyder they seemed to work pretty good in...

    Results of Amsoil 10W-40 lab test @ 4000 Mi

    One oil cannot do it all Ron I agree. But lower reeving motors will not shear the oil like the Rotax. Sure some other MFG have high rev motor that suffer the same characteristics. If the motor is running at 4000 and you shift like most do with the handlebar shifting this clutch plates and tranny...

    Heck my 750 hp Mustang Shelby does not shear oil like these BRP Rotax motors do maybe the design is the real issue? High Rev running hot not what I call a motor that is easy to maintain a or cheap for that matter. I thought the 1330 was such great improvement over the previous years?

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    Bob maybe his safety and health are more important than riding the roadster right now. Knowing the problems he has had I certainly would not ride that thing either.

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    Well hopefully it does not come with the other BRP options like; Nad roasting heat. Gas boiling. spontaneous combustion. Uncontrollable steering issues. Leaking gaskets......oh that's right they already fixed those. Lets see oil viscosity break down in less than 4000 miles. Road crown swaying...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    Yes indeed that is really fun and awesome bike but I have a Yamaha VMax 230 hp to rear wheel but that is a more straight away bike than the cornering of the FJR. But actually a new Venture. Road it home today and man it was really nice and smooth and get this 5 year unlimited mileage warranty...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    he he he here come the cheerleaders on how to "fix" your problems. maybe just maybe he is just sick of dealing with for now. So putting into storage it may be less likely to burn down his homestead? Oh by the cruzeiro Joey I got rid of the Spyder but that does not mean I am going anywhere...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    The ride and handling are fine the Elka fixed any issue but the idea that for the machine to handle as it should you need to do sway bars and shocks is my issue. Again I want to be clear here my decision is based on how I feel BRP Customer Service is or maybe is NOT. Sure any machine can...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    Be assured folks the mods fixed the issues. They absolutely fixed the that problem. But being man of principle and only going to three wheels because I wanted too not "had" too I sat back and looked at the overall experience with BRP and decided I will not do business with a Company that...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    Yup I took it in the shorts but finally rid myself of this machine. The Spyder is an interesting concept with some really nice features but the head aches and poor customer support from BRP has assured I will NEVER own another BRP product. Good luck to all you Spyder Lovers and enjoy the ride...

    Heat issue

    Well said spyder mouse Every person who stops me to talk about the Spyder gets full disclosure about the lack of empathy from BRP and the issues I fixed and the associated cost which has been well over $3500.00. So I guess in some ways the lack of response from BRP is costing them more than...
