• 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.

    Are There Still People Out There Who Don't Think Helmets Are Necessary?

    Here are the issues I have. 1. I have personally seen helmets that were pretty beat up as examples of what can happen when you take a spill. I have also heard of someone who has died from a loss of control after a bug hit them in the face. Also, I have had a bug splat me where my eye would be...

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    Well, if you don't mind going "OH SH1T!!! I need just another C*** Hair more!!", stick with the kit. You will need at least that much and it doesn't hurt to have a little more around especially since you need more for the filter. The shop always has oil around to top off.

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    Sorry, hard to write sometimes after a few drinks. I'm saying BRP can inform the dealer but if the dealer files the notice away for future times, there isn't much BRP can do. BRP sends them a letter and if they don't read it, well...... No they do not. I have a 2012 and it does NOT have it...

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    Sure, you tell me something, I put the paper in a file and look at it later. BRP cannot simply come running to each dealer and demand the old filters back and do a 1 to 1 exchange. My dealer got the mail, boxed up their old stuff and sent it out. Some will not bother as much.

    And a couple didn't. Couldn't find it either. Those jerks probably couldn't find their ass if you kicked them in it.

    Mine had the new ones in stock with the old ones already out the door. Could it be a regional thing or what?

    zūmo 350LM

    I got the GPS holder and it comes with some wires. Is that going to work with the Zumo or am I going to have to put a cigarette lighter? I'd rather be able to hardwire it to the GPS.

    Yes I have. They don't know much about it other than what is here or that it is new and improved.

    I didn't tear it apart yet but that means we are speed density and not MAF?

    Weird. My dealership has them in stock since monday and they sent all the old stuff back. Not sure about the oiled filters though. Supposedly some have said that the air running past it eventually pulls enough oil to screw up the MAF. IDK

    I'm a little puzzled by that. After all, the HCM filter gets the same oil as the oil filter so why would you change it every other one?

    So what is it you think we can stretch the interval to? 7500 or whatever the oil can do, whichever comes first? If so, maybe after my break in, I will send out the oil at 3000 and have Blackstone tell me what they think the oil is good for.

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    So maybe you can tell me why we are asked to change at 3000 then? Is it the filter or that the oil has sheared too much to be good anymore? If you have the filter part down, maybe the oil they are using now is the weak link? IDK. Hence the question. IMO, since we are talking about OEM vs your...

    IMHO. 53.33% increased lifespan is nothing to sneeze at.

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    Yes but how does it compare with the current stock version? Did you do an oil inspection?

    Or maybe the tolerance is different?

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    13mm is a length and not the surface area that has been increased. Larger surface area = larger filtration surface = longer lifespan.

    FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

    With a 2012, it should be standard now, right? Last time I changed it, it does look like the 35mm cap for the HCM.

    3,000 mile oil change...or later?

    Is there some reason we can't change the oil at 3000, even with say Amsoil and during that change, collect a sample and send it to Blackstone Labs and have them tell us what they think the condition of the oil is? Reason I ask is that after the break in, I think it would be nice to see what it...
