• 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 Oil

    For what is worth, I've been using Mobil 1 10-30, and the last 2 times 10-40 for just over 18,000 miles now. The key is the only one Mobil 1 I found without the SM rating is the "HIGH MILEAGE". I pick up the big jug (4 gallons) at Wal-Mart for about $24-25. ;)

    Y-gaskets

    It is if you want to keep dealing with the substandard Can-Am gasket (which I replaced twice). Replace them with the Honda gaskets and never worry about them again...

    Love my SPYDER, but have exhaust gasket problems

    :agree: Absolutely! Put on the Goldwing gaskets and it will be one less thing to worry about.

    Rain gear and wet crotches

    In almost three years of using my Frogg Toggs in rainy Florida this has been my experience as well. Dry pants, only water coming in is around my neck, front and back because I don't use the hood which would have to go under my helmet. So I've learned to live with a little bit of a wet upper...

    I have run out of patience with BRP.

    Sorry to hear about your problems. Last year my :spyder:spent 64 days at 3 dealers. The second dealer called me 3 times saying each time that my bike was running like a dream. His definition of dream turned out to be my definition of a nightmare. Had to get Carlo involved (That really didn't...

    We need your prayers

    So sorry for your loss. We also have a 2 year old grandson. He's the only one we have and I cannot imagine losing him to an accident. The Lord has decided to call your little angel to his side and we can only hope that our collective prayers and thoughts provide you, Jimmy, and your family the...

    Rear tire??

    Same here, 13,500 miles on my BF Goodrich G-Force Sport, and still looks almost as good as the day I installed it. It handles very good in the rain (which we've been having buckets of around here lately). Note that the G-Force and the G-Force Sport are two different tires, by the way, the sport...

    New Spyder Owner and First Weekend of Riding

    :congrats: :clap: My :spyder: and I will be celebrating our third anniversary together this upcoming Sunday :2excited: (I got her on July 17th 2008). I hope you get as many hours of enjoyment on yours as I have on mine. My wife of 39 years told me last week that she thought I loved the Spyder...

    2012 Can-Am Spyder Roadster info and pics !

    Exactly what I told Chaz and Carlo at Lamont's BBQ a few weeks ago, plus offer it in yellow like my present RS. I like the visibility (too many 80-90 year olds driving around here, LOL!)

    2 wheel or 4 wheel trailer to haul spyder

    I forgot, it's single axle, 15" wheels. It pulls very, very effortlessly with my Ford Edge.

    2 wheel or 4 wheel trailer to haul spyder

    I use a 6 x 12 "TILT" utility trailer. At my request, the bed was made of expanded metal vs. wood and I don't have a rear ramp or rack, it's lighter this way. It was manufactured for me by Anderson Trailers in Ga. http://andersontrailers.com/ I've had it for over a year and I've towed my...

    Maggie Valley, June

    That's where we are staying! It's really close to the Festival Grounds & BRP activities. Figured that would be safer than staying next to the Casino where a string of bad luck would have the makings of a very short stay! LOL! Will see you there! Ralph & Carmen

    Issues running fuel other than premium in the RT?

    I don't know how much different the two machines are but I can tell you that for the first 1-1/2 years my RS had all sorts of performance problems many of which I'm sure where due to gas. About a year ago, Pat, Service Mgr of Barney's of Brandon, suggested I try I switching to premium and my...

    Nature Coast Riders

    I haven't been riding much lately until a couple of weeks ago (had a stroke in January and am now just about fully recovered). My wife and I had a great time last year in Tenessee (Spyders in the Smokies) and met many of the great folks in this forum. Unfortunately, I had to miss Daytona, and...
