• 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 Driver's Backrest

    I was going to say that I just put one up for sale in new condition (in the 4 Sale By Owner Section), but mine is for the stock seat. Yeah, those things are very expensive, but it is a very comfortable backrest, and matches the seat very well. Its also easy to remove and put the plug back in...

    2014 RT-S MPG Report for Texas (V2.0)

    Bob, I fill up with fuel based on filling up at a couple of stations that I know have the cheapest price, so I don't usually push the RT to the 'E' mark. However, for fun, I did push it one time to 257 on one tank. When I first got the RT, I did try to run higher pressure in the tires to...

    hey Texas... about that Prius antenna...

    I can't say I noticed an improvement in reception, but I also did not notice that reception was any worse. For me, more than anything, I did the mod because I cover the RTS and did not want to deal with getting the bag over the top of the antenna. Also, I like the look of it better. The...

    Very noisy fuel pump!

    I'm at almost 6K miles on my RT-S. The fuel pump always made a smooth start up sound, and was sometimes noticed when pulling up to a stoplight. However, a couple hundred miles ago the startup noise is very rough. Also, the noise is now noticeable while cruising at lower RPMs. I am wondering...

    Exactly what does "Eco Mode" do?

    I haven't been on the forum for a while; too busy out riding my RT-S. However, I saw the ECO thread and thought that since that is the only mode I use, I better weigh in. When I first started using it, I was slightly distracted by watching the screen. However, that didn't last long, because I...

    Center console switch blank question

    The blank pops right up. However, instead of a rectangular hole; instead, there is a round hole that is the exact same size as the round hole behind the cover below the left passenger handle. I too wanted to have a rectangular switch to match the other switches, so using a Dremel, I carefully...

    2014 Key Fob

    I always carry my keys individually (I don't like my keys getting scratched up). However, I thought these looked pretty cool: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-SETS-OF-CAN-AM-SPYDER-KEY-HOLDER-KEY-SAVER-KEY-COVER-/251567751056?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a929b3f90&vxp=mtr

    Oil Filter for 2014 RTS

    Sounds like someone is either pulling your chain, or just doesn't know what he's doing. I'd find another dealer; as if it were me, they would have just lost my trust. I purchased everything I needed from one of my dealers here in Austin, way back at the end of February. You can see my post in...

    2014 versus 2013 RT-S

    I guess I should weigh in here. Dave, you should read my MPG log if you haven't already: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?63290-2014-RT-S-MPG-Report-for-Texas-(V2-0) Though I don't push it; it does clearly show that BRP's claimed 252 MPT is accurate. In my log you will see...

    Well I finally found a solution to all my Spyder Issues

    I'm a bit confused (I don't know the history here). Did you purchase your Spider new? If so, and you have had issues that the dealer/manufacturer couldn't resolve, did you pursue the Lemon Law? Once you have proof of repeated failure to resolve a particular (doesn't need to be several) issue...

    Elio financials..!!

    Ask for a Return of Your Deposit The primary reason the company takes the deposits isn't to reserve your vehicle; instead, it's to provide supporting documentation when trying to get financing. Unfortunately, there have been several companies that have unsuccessfully tried this in the past...
