• 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.

    Very disapointed with BRP and their product!

    Dissapointed with BRP I suggest you contact the Council of Better Business Bureau in Arlington VA. Your state has a lemon law. Spyders are covered under the lemon law. You may file for arbitration with the BBB. The BBB will assist you without cost to you. Good luck

I had just completed a long trip and had not had the opportunity to wash all the bugs off of the bike. He suggested I should use Lucas Wax which would prevent bugs and debris sticking...

    Cracked block - maybe

    Turns out, after waing 10 days for repairs, that the dealers first analysis was not correct. It seems that when I did the 600 mile maintenance the dealer over tightened the two screws that hold the cover on the oil filter housing. This resulted in the threads being stripped. Eventually these...
