• 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.

    RpmOne aftermarket extended warranty - any experience?

    I'm considering the purchase of an aftermarket extended warranty for my 2017 RT. Can't buy the B.E.S.T. warranty because the BRP factory warranty lapsed due to it starting earlier than my purchase (long story, details in another thread). Does anyone have experience with the RpmOne warranties...

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    Well, an update. GForce (the new dealer) heard back from BRP on the case. BRP's response is "too bad, so sad" - they say their database shows that RPM started the warranty in June 2017 when they put the bike in their demo pool. The fact that RPM lied to me and sold the bike as new, telling me...

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    GForce seems to be trying hard to do right by me. And I can see why RPM is out of business now.

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    All paperwork clearly lists my Spyder as new.

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    Yes, it was titled to me and registered with the State of Colorado as a new bike, and the bill of sale lists it as a new bike. As you say, I might have a cause of action against the former dealership - except they no longer exist. There's nothing wrong with it (other than the battery), and...

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    I do not recall ever seeing such a document and I'm absolutely certain I didn't get a copy of it.

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    Well, I guess I've learned something new. Never bought a snowmobile or ATV in my life - never even ridden one - so I was expecting this to be treated like a normal motorcycle/car sale. And yes, I knew about the BEST warranty having to be bought while still under the factory warranty. I had...

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    Wonderful. It seems I bought the Spyder about a month before RPM closed up and sold out, and my salesperson was one of the owners. So I may have been the target of a deliberate "exit scam" on the warranty. Charming.

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    Well, it had dealer tags on it whenever I saw it. And if they had registered it with the state, I wouldn't think they could have then registered the sale to me selling the bike as new.

    Bought demo 2017 RT as new, BRP says warranty time used by dealer demo period?

    On June 21, 2018 I bought a 2017 RT-S from RPM Powersports in Lakewood, CO. This RT had been the dealership demo Spyder and had 301 miles on the odometer. I got a moderate discount on it as a demo unit, but it was sold to me as a new bike, and I was assured by RPM I would have the full two year...

    Do we like modular helmets or not???

    Looked at modulars, but was unable to find one that fit properly (size 8 and 1/8 head, long and narrow). Have found that Arai works best for me.

    REAR TRUNK BAGS

    Add me to the "have the whole set and like them" group. Keep in mind they are bargain bags, and soft luggage, and don't overpack or overstress them, and they will serve you well. As others have noted, the zippers could be improved on - YKK they are not. Still, I think these bags are a great...

    Favorable Ryker review in The Guardian (major UK newspaper)

    A major UK paper has a short but glowing article about the Ryker. Oddly, it's not clear if the author actually rode one. Apparently in the UK you can operate one on a car driver's license. I wonder if the Ryker was targeted more for the UK/Europe than for the States? Article here...

    Spyder is REALLY different - tried test ride, barely made it out of the dealer's lot

    The zombie thread that won't go away. I've inadvertently created a monster. Before anyone else tries to bring this back from the dead: - my questions were politely answered by some of the more helpful board members, back in May - I am really good at ignoring the less helpful folks, so you...

    Spyder is REALLY different - tried test ride, barely made it out of the dealer's lot

    Yep, sorry, started new thread to talk about that and neglected to post again in this one. Went to one of those BRP-sponsored "Learn to Ride a Spyder" classes and spent some hours on a training range where I didn't have to worry about being crushed by traffic. Made all the difference. Bought...
