• 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.

    Vibration -- Motor Mount Clearance

    We have spoken with BRP a lot about this vibration issue. It is important to understand this can easily be fixed if your dealer is willing to take the time and check. A good time to do it is during a service that way no extra time is required if its not touching. However, if your machine is...

    Vibration -- Motor Mount Clearance

    Just replaced that old pc over the summer if you can believe that :D. It is hard to see the area where the craddle is but it can be done if you look from the oil bag side with the panel off and from the ground up. Its a bit easier with it on the lift so from the ground it can be rough. Even...

    Vibration -- Motor Mount Clearance

    This is coved under warranty as long as your machine still is. 2010 RT's can also be effected as the motor mounts will settle even more after the left motor mount frame tab is notched. We have built our own U-shape shims and now we set up the clearance at 2mm (at first we had clearance at 4.5mm...

    Vibration...again

    ENGINE VIBRATION POSSIBLE FIX Vibration may be due to the engine craddle hitting the frame. This is an issue and we have fixed several units. The problem is the engine mounts settle to far and on the 2010 RT a notch must be cut out of the frame on the left side front motor mount area. On the...

    HELP!!! NEED Immediate Feedback Please

    Kinda strange that everything was working fine until you had the oil change issue? Check over everything you touched, may be related. Im curious as to how all the oil came out of the fill plug? If all else fails have your dealer get it on b.u.d.s. and have them do a starter operation test per...

    CONFIRM WITH YOUR DEALER THAT ALL THE CURRENT UPDATES HAVE BEEN DONE (T-BODY ACTUATOR UPDATE). IF THEY HAVE BEEN DONE THEN HAVE THEM LOOK INTO THE MAIN HARNESS PLUG AS WE HAVE HAD ONE FAIL AND THUS CAUSE THE UNIT (A 2011 RT) TO QUIT AND DIE JUST AS IF THE UPDATE HAD NOT BEEN DONE. WE FOUND THIS...

    2011 RT Engine Vibration

    Shim the motor mount studs so the shims are touching the rubber mount. There are 2 lower studs (as you can see) and one upper stud. This pic its hard to tell but it is hitting the center part of the frame. Note the motor mount bracket bent where its welded to the frame. You can make out a rust...

    2011 RT Engine Vibration

    This picture is at the front motor mount area. This shows the engine support resting on the center of the frame. The best way to see it is to look under the machine and up. It is hard to see. Can also remove the oil side panel (left side) and at the right angle can also see it. Hope this helps...

    Stuck in 5th

    Have your dealer check the Valve-solenoid (prt#420656635). If failed in some way it can cause unit to get stuck in gear. Does require a pressure test of the system (which may test ok). Also will need to test both solenoids (upshift and downshift), which may test good but there still can be a...

    Warranty Bulletins etc.

    Call your Dealer with your vin# and they can tell you what updates apply to your machine. Always go off the vin because there are many update and many won't apply to your machine.

    Spyder will not move!

    Could be the valve solenoid (part# 420,656,365) off the tranny. Without getting into a lot of detail we have a unit in the shop now with a simular tranny issue. Traced it down to this component (we think, not 100% sure). We shall see what happens. Have your dealer look into this area of the...

    Internal defect was found on this new DPS unit. Secure magnet not installed properly from the factory. It had backed out and thus sent imporper readings through out the system causing multiple fault codes. This had been the first such issue we have seen or heard of with these units. Once...

    DPS Replaced - How do you know?

    Have your vin# run by a dealer. A claim can't be filled on a unit without a new serial ID from a new DPS. Thus if a DPS claim is on file for your vin# then your good to go! If its not then it hasn't been done. All old DPS units must be sent to BRP in order for the dealer to get paid. No way...

    600 Mile Service

    We are finding that these units need carefull attention at each scheduled service. Main reason is that things come loose , vibrate , move around and flat out need looked at in detail to stay on top of potential issues. Each service we do is as extensive as the first 600 mile service. We have...
