• 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.

    2015 F3 - No Camo Pics - Things are looking up!

    I see that and agree... but the orange and black model scares me that they all have gotten a similar look / style. I've had so many problems that my dealer has told me they'd twist BRPs arm to get a good price on a 2015 to get me out of the 2012.... but I really don't like the front end on this...

    2015 F3 - No Camo Pics - Things are looking up!

    As an RSS owner I am disappointed in what I see here. I hope its not a replacement for the RS/RSS. That said, the orange and black looks like it is a possible RSS replacement and that maybe the whole lineup got a new look. It looks like a cross between a black and decker tool and a dodge...

    random problems

    Your would not move in 1st gear is the EXACT problem I've been having, its very intermittant. My 2012 has been in the shop many times for gear shifting and startup problems. It has had two GPS sensor failures and many times will misshift if the engine temp is under two bars It also every...

    Longest your spyder has been in the shop?

    Mine spent about half of the 2013 riding season in the shop in several large stints, plus all of the winter, plus its been back a few times this year... though now they don't have me bring it in until they are able to work on it... So far I've had two new Gear Position Sensors, a new ignition...

    Poliaris Slingshot

    Well, that was kinda my point... I can see people buying 2014's this fall at a $2000 or $3000 discount. But why would you buy a 2015 this fall, be unable to ride it for 4 months, start the warranty clock running, make 4-5 months of payments... its not like they give you a real incentive .... vs...

    Poliaris Slingshot

    Why would someone buy a new model year summer vehicle in October? I haven't quite figured this out yet....as to why they don't wait a few months to announce these things. I understand buying a previous year model when it goes on sale at the end of season... But why would I want to start my...

    Poliaris Slingshot

    I'm tempted to buy one, especially with all the problems I've had with my RS-S... but its not a direct replacement... I'd feel the need to have both an RS-S and a Slingshot...

    Just can't win

    Thats the problem right, because both times I had the GPS failure, the computer saw it and threw it into a fault mode with R and N flashing and logged it. Whatever this fault mode is, the spyder doesn't seem to realize it is in one, and it doesn't log it. Is it the computer? Is it the GPS...

    Just can't win

    Not sure if I'm supposed to laugh... after 2 1/2 years and 15,000 miles and daily using reverse at least twice a day, I do know how to change gears on my spyder. It also finally did it to the dealer this last time I brought it in for the first time ever.

    HID lights

    Hah.... once its running it seems to run fine. Its a glitch that happens only at start up.... they've stopped asking me to drop it off for diagnostics because the computer doesn't log any problems. Now they only have me drop it off for overnighters when BRP sends them new parts. But, because...

    HID lights

    Is there a reason the factory ditched the HIDs?? They were one of my favorite add-ons. I'm now holding back waiting for the 2015 announcements to see if I will upgrade or not. I'm confused as to how BRP would get rid of the safe night driving option....

    HID lights

    Am I missing something or does Can-Am no longer offer HID headlights on the RSS? I installed the HID lights on my 2012 and love them...

    Just can't win

    Well, its not just shifting. I start up the spyder and it says "1st" gear instead of "N". Pulling on the throttle, the RPMs cut off between 1000RPM and 1500RPM, you can't get it higher than that. Last year, I could pull it all the way to max RPMs and it still would be at idle and wouldn't move...

    Just can't win

    True... but I feel bad for everyone who gets the unit after me.... if BRP was buying it back, that would be a different story. Luckily, I've learned that if I turn it off and turn it back on 60 seconds later the issue almost always goes away. (Any time sooner and it still exists)

    Just can't win

    For anyone who has followed my long saga of problems with my 2012 RS-S, it apparently continues. BRP had the dealer replace the throttle body assembly this past week, everyone assumed BTP identified the issues from my video I took... But my once in 1000 mile issue happened twice so far...

    RSS vs ST

    I asked this in the RS forum but got no responses, maybe the RS guys don't like even considering the ST :P I test drove the ST while my RS was in the shop the other day. It was fun but obviously felt much different, much more so than I was expecting actually. I'm not sure if its for me...

    RSS vs ST

    My 2012 RSS was in the shop this weekend getting a new throttle body, so I took the time test drive the ST and the RT. I was shocked at how different the ST felt over the RSS. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 2015 this fall. I'm not sure if I should get a new RSS or an ST. I love the...

    2015 lineup rumors?

    LOL 20 miles is just you being a jerk ;) . The Spyder has more room than most for batteries. This company, which has a far lower R&D budget than BRP, gets 171 miles per charge city driving on a pretty slim chassis. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-s/ An electric motor is much smaller than...

    2015 lineup rumors?

    I think a pure electric would be better.... I'm assuming the main reason for the gas was no need to charge it up, but how many hours does it take to charge a motorcycle?? I mean, even a Tesla charges pretty dang quick depending on your charger options and circuit amperage...

    2015 lineup rumors?

    I figured it was about as helpful as the "I want it" and "I don't want it" argument going back and forth.
