• 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.

    how to fix your brake noise

    I set out to fix my brakes today as mine squeal pretty bad. I decided to go with the 3M VHB tape fix. So I bought some tape at the local Auto parts store and went home to work on the bike. Turns out once I ripped the pads out of the calipers I noticed there is nothing on the back side of the...

    I need trailer to bring home Spyder

    Hey I can answer this one!!! I used a Uhaul trailor to bring home my Spyder from NC to PA (8 hours each way!) in the pouring rain. I had originally reserved a 6' x 12' open trailor but I went to look at it 2 days before we were to leave and found that the opening of the trailor was only like...

    Jacksonville powersports are nothing but CROOKS!

    I think its in the best interest of your dealership to address the issues on this forum. To ask people to call you to talk about it is just ridiculous, there are several consumers asking for you to clarify the situation at hand yet you want each to call you? You have every chance to try and...

    BRP Survey

    I got my call a week or 2 ago, i've had the bike for about a month now. I told them the issues about the brakes squeeling, a hand brake would have been nice and that they should have a BRP rep frequent the forums and answer questions and take input from their customers:) We'll see!

    A few questions and comments from a 1 week owner

    Oh I completely agree with the leaning comment. I took my fiance on her first ride yesterday and one of the first 90 degree corners we took was maybe a mile from home. I noticed an excessive amount of lean when taking the corner so I had to pull over to re-strap my helmet and she says to me "Am...

    A few questions and comments from a 1 week owner

    Hi Everyone, So I've officially been riding for a week now. I've got 275 miles on her now and here are some of the things I've seen. 1. Air Temp Sensor - This thing was slow and off a good amount before Friday. That afternoon I decided to rip the side panels off and check to see if it was...

    Never paid list price in my life... this is NUTS!

    I just bought my silver SM5 for $14900, and 5% off accessories. No setup, delivery or install fees whatsoever. Of course I drove quite a bit to get it and trailered it back but I saved over $1200 so it was worth it. That bought me a Spyder leather jacket and new Scorpion helmet and still have...

    Spyder....A Poor Performer?

    I remember seeing the 14.1 - 1/4 mile time and thought, hmm that seems slow. I remember seeing 1/4 mile times in the high 12's I thought. A much more respectable #, except when compared to the crotch rockets. I'd like to see an experienced rider give it a go. I have a hard time believing they...

    New great review

    This guy definetely gets it, good to see a nice review after some of the boring "It's not a motorcycle" lines most of the mags use.

    Red 2009 Spyder???

    That price is fine. The price of the 2008 silver SM5 MSRP was $15499, for 2009 there is a price increase of $700 to $16199. The price of yellow or red is an additional $400, bringing you to the grand total of $16599. So you are getting the bike for MSRP, not bad. My dealer is selling me the bike...

    A couple of ?'s about the Nanny

    Thanks ATADude! Some guy at my work was saying BRP was at a recent Cycle event and they stopped letting people test ride because certain individuals were pulling the tires off the ground. I didn't really think that was possible. On #4, is that because of the Stability Control System? Thanks...
