• 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.

    Looking for options to quiet Hindle Exhaust at night

    That sounds like a lot of work every night, especially since I have the BRP saddlebags which the exhaust is then mounted to :P I wasn't looking to go super quiet... just lower the sound a bit. The past few days I've been letting it roll down the driveway when I take off to avoid idling.

    Looking for options to quiet Hindle Exhaust at night

    Too bad my foot doesn't reach back that far :) I wouldn't even know where to start in building something from scratch... i would think something springloaded that could lock against the inside of the tailpipe and drop the sound a few db would be perfect.... I looked up active noise...

    Looking for options to quiet Hindle Exhaust at night

    I like to take my Spyder out late at night to go get a drink or two, I always worry about my neighbors complaining. Someone mentioned my late night ride last night (asking if I saw someone suspicious) but that was enough to confirm it is quite noticeable when I come back at 2am... Is there a...

    Great Turnout for our First Caswell Ride of the Season

    Looks like fun, I only made it to one right last year but I hope to make it out there a few times this year.

    Well... a month later still nothing is resolved. The dealer has had my spyder for a month. Every week including today they call me back saying "we can't reproduce anything". They claim to be riding it every day, I call bull****. In the 2 weeks before I brought it in for the 5th time, EVERY...

    Latest status. I rode it a bunch this weekend (in the freezing cold). Saturday I had both the mis-shift from 1st to 2nd gear and the lack of full power / surging that I experienced a week before. A few things I have noticed: 1) Almost every time its failed to shift from 1st to 2nd is on the...

    Thats correct, the spyder tech's eyes about popped out of his head when i mentioned that the last time it was in the shop... there's never been any indication of a leak, so it must have been burned off. They asked me to start keeping a log of when i put oil in. I do believe this particular...

    I do not have a anything to control the timing, mixture and fuel injection on the engine. I have been considering it to cure the issues with the Hindle, but there's no way I'd do it before all my other problems were solved. To other people's point about working with BRP, I must say I was...

    BRP is stepping in, they say they will have a plan of action for me tomorrow afternoon.

    Again, let me repeat, 2 oil changes in 1 month and I'm still having throttle and shifting issues. As well as a gear position sensor that tested bad and was replaced after those oil changes. (Same sensor that was already replaced 500 miles after original purchase of the spyder) I would rule...

    I am aware of back-pressure related issues and the Hindle, I actually am experiencing that as well. When you idle it stutters a bit and backfires as you shift. So far I've considered these unrelated, unless someone can show the missing link. Most of those issues did start occurring after the...

    There have been two oil changes plus a sensor change in the last 1500 miles. i agree it could be half the subsystems on the spyder, point is legally I shouldn't have to deal with 5 attempts fix an issue nor so I care which dealer is at fault or if there is a factory flaw. It needs to be...

    Continuing Saga with my 2012 RS-S Lemon

    Well, it seems some of the "oil" stuff might have been an excuse from dealer #2 to charge me for something and get it out the door. They claimed that the oil change dealer #1 claimed to have done at the 9300 mile service wasn't done and that the oil was low and dirty. That was only like 300...

    Add to that it just failed a shift i just took it for a ride, shifted from 1st to 2nd and it didn't go, I heard it try 3 times and then my RPMs shot way up and I found myself back in 1st gear this thing is getting dangerous to ride, you never know what it's going to do

    Continuing Saga with my 2012 RS-S Lemon

    Well, the second dealer ... all they did was tell me the first dealer didn't change my oil and that it was low, the original dealer claims they had done it, paid the 2nd dealer, and it didn't solve my problems... so the 2nd dealer even though they knew i had a huge history of problems chose not...

    I did email Can-Am over a month ago and it took them two weeks to respond and when I replied I never heard back. I sent them this link in a message on FB today to show that I'm ready to make a big public spectacle of this if they don't fix it and make things right. I just reached out to my...

    Agreed, i just also had transmission issues the first few weeks after I bought it, plus again this past spring. Those are the two top possibilities. You would think the dealer would have checked all electrical wiring since they did the electrical installs. Speaking of which, they also added...
