• 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.

    BRP customer service?

    Another view point Just to be fair to BRP I'll relate my story of their customer service. About noon on a Friday I pulled into a dealership in western NY. (I live in VT and was nearing the end of a 2-week road trip) The problem was that my 2012 RTS did not shift properly. While I went to...

    So it's called the Ryker!

    Belt wear I just checked the belt wear on my Ski-Doo Renegade with the Ace 900 engine. A new belt is 1.468" wide, and my belt, after 4,667 miles is 1.463" wide, so it has worn down just .005" in over 4,600 miles of use. Seems like the belt will last well over 2-3K miles.

    Is it cold where you live 25 and snowing here on the VT/QC border. If I ride today it will be on the sled, not the Spyder. Have to plow the driveway firth though.

    Blind Passenger

    Arm Rests Didn't notice this mentioned in other posts, but you might consider adding passenger arm rest. Helps a great deal in providing lateral support for the passenger. Although my wife isn't sight impaired, she falls asleep frequently so certainly doesn't see what is ahead, but the arm...

    GPS sun shade

    Sun shade I took a plastic food storage container (similar to Tupperware), cut it in half and painted it black. Used a container that is just a bit wider than the GPS. I have a RAM mount and mounted the shade between the RAM mount and the RAM 1" ball that is held by the RAM arm. Not perfect...

    Wow, What A Day!

    Funny how that happens In May my wife and I went to our dealer on our 2012 RT-S (37,000 miles) to get her a new set of rain pants, and we came home with a 2017 champagne RT-S. My wife has an expensive pair of rain pants, and you have an expensive helmet. We now have over 3,000 miles on the...

    Hyperflash question

    1027 That is just clumsy typing. It is a 2017 RT-S. The wiring module was installed by my dealer (Walt's Sales and Service in Derby, VT) It only plugs in one way. It came from Spyder Accessories (Pierre Poloquin) BillyBovine has said that this this only has a converter, not an isolator, so...

    Hyperflash question

    When I first hooked my trailer to my 1027 RT S I experienced hyperflash when using the turn signal. I followed Lamont's video to stop this, and all went well. When I disconnected the trailer, however, the turn signals started to hyperflash again. I went through Lamont's procedure again and...

    Ride in Vermont yesterday in the NEK

    You need to come back You guys will have to come back, you missed the best view of Lake Memphremagog. From where you got gas, at the ShortStop on the Derby Rd., head toward Newport, then turn right onto Shattuck Hill Rd. at the second traffic light. Go about 1/2 a mile and there is a great...
