• 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.

    We just do not ride it hard in the corners now. Eventually we will figure it out.

    automatic transmission upshifting on it's own

    Well you are the first to say you have the same problem. Here is were it is a SAFETY issue. You are in the middle of a fast turn, close to the envelope of the spyder's capability, the machine upshifts causing you to lose the line your on and cross over the center line or go off the pavement.

    automatic transmission upshifting on it's own

    We have a 2014 st with auto trans. Occasionally it will upshift on it's own without any input from the rider. Sometimes it upshifts one gear, sometimes it shifts twice going thru 2 gears. Seems like it does it only on longer rides. Anyone one experienced this? Or have any ideas? Dealer...

    Need advise on problems with new spyder

    Spoke with Bibbens today. They have never heard of upshifting and agree something in paddles must be sending a single to shift. Inspecting the paddles today it seems kind of loose or sloppy. They think the other two things are warrenty too. On the brakes they suggest a couple of good hard...

    Larger Brake Pedal question

    I made one out of car parts for free. Bigger peddle feels better under your foot.

    alignment specifications

    It looked like your contact was on the wheel but the above suggests it touches the tire. What does it contact?

    alignment specifications

    That system is not suitable for an assembly line. Principles probably are, which is what I suggested they are doing. Actually we are pretty happy with our spyder right out of the box (its really my wife's ride). However I rarely find a mechanical device that I can not visualize an improvement...

    alignment specifications

    I was thinking along the same lines. Seems that in your setup, it is critical that the jig's tape measure points plane be perfectly parallel to the plane of the wheel contact points. I use something similar for cars. As long as the spyder is not pulling, do you adjust the tie rods on both...

    alignment specifications

    I got that information from a BRP representative. They started in 2014. I doubt they use the exact equipment you have as it would be too slow for a assembly line. all technology can be modified and improved on. Never trust a sales person on technical issues. Their motives are tainted by...

    alignment specifications

    Yes that's what you should do when you lack the mechanical skill set to understand alignment.
