• 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.

    rear fender brackets

    Rear fender brackets replaced under warranty... At about 35,000 miles I had my cracked rear fender brackets replaced. This was the first test of my Western Service Contract extended warranty and they covered it without any hassle at all.

    BEST Question

    Western Service Contract Follow-up... Question: Is it - Western Service Contract (WSC), accepted at all BRP dealerships? They would be crazy not to. WSC pays the Dealer's full labor rate (BRP/BEST only pays the BRP defined flat rate). WSC pays retail for parts (BRP/BEST does not). Bottom...

    BEST Question

    No problems so far with Western Service Contract... I went with the 4-year Western Service Contract (WSC) extended warranty for a few reasons: they cover more and cost less than BEST, it's easier for the dealer to get paid and there's no $50 deductible. In the last few months I've had the...

    Article on trikes in the Milwaukee Journal

    "Younger Bikers"? "Young bikers also are riding the Can-Am Spyder, a three-wheeler from the makers of Ski-Doo snowmobiles." I thought we were a front for AARP?

    DPS recall, anyone else had it done yet?

    DPS replaced and working great Last Saturday, I assisted my dealer (California Speed-Sports) with the replacement of my DPS unit. The Recall information provided by BRP is very clear and comprehensive, allowing the whole operation to go very smoothly. It’s less than two hours of work between...

    GS Rear Tire Mileage at Replacement ?

    Ready for my 3rd tire at 30K miles... The first lasted about 17K miles, I'm ready for another now at 30K miles. Both times the center wore out first. I run 28psi, and can't remember the last time I did a burnout, but I do cruise over 75mph on my daily commute to work.

    30K miles and NO ISSUES with SE5 transmission... I've never had an issue with the SE5 transmission in my 2008 RS (GS back then). Crisp shifts, and does everything it's supposed to do without fail.

    Dealer setup and freight

    Keep being short-sided... ...by continuing to squeeze dealers on price you will wind up with nowhere to take your Spyder for service - or the service is going to be sub-standard because the dealer won't be able to invest in skilled mechanics or their training. It's my understanding that...

    Has anyone made a front that doesnt look like a snowmobile yet?

    This frontend won the prize... At the Red Carpet Ryde Owners event in L.A. last June, this woman won the most customized Spyder prize. I kinda like the Can-Am (race car) look.
