• 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.

    Parts on order

    rear shock They confiscated mine too and held it for three weeks before BRP sent the parts. Replaced bag and shock and they still leaked. They ordered rear air tube and fitting and had it another week. Finally said the problem was that the tube wasn't cut at an exactly 90 degree angle so it...

    Saddle delaminating

    SADDLE I use a gel seat covered with sheepskin. It has some type of rubber bottom to prevent it from sliding. The rubber gets stuck to the seat and is pulling the lamination apart. I'm not too worried about it since I do have the seat covered and I'm thinking of getting a better seat anyway.

    Rear Suspension problems

    rear shock Had my rear shock and air bag replaced a couple of weeks ago. It started leaking three days after I brought it home. So far it has been leaking 15 lbs. pressure in 24 hours while in my garage but IT DOES NOT LEAK while I have been riding it, including two up riding. Anyone have an...

    Can-Am luggage

    luggage I purchased the saddlebags from a dealer in Arizona. Saved $60.00, including shipping. I thought that the left one would have a notch cut out of it for the battery area but they just made it thinner instead. Lost some room when they did this.

    Very Impressed with BRP

    BRP response My bike was out of service for 2 weeks while I waited for BRP to mail a rear shock. During that time I sent 2 e-mails to Carlo asking for help. I received a phone call today from a girl telling me that she would "make a note" of my complaint. I feel much better now that I...

    still another bad rear shock

    rear shock Instead of relying on the dealer to call BRP why don't they just put a big yellow sticker with directions on the shock so when the tech opens the box he can see what he needs to do? Is it any more complicated than that? But maybe we're expecting too much from a motorcycle company...

    still another bad rear shock

    rear shock I thought you could be right abut the dealer making BRP the scapegoat until another post mentioned that they too had to wait for two weeks for a shock. I e-mailed Carlo twice for help with no reply but then found out he was out of the office. It would be very interesting to see a...

    still another bad rear shock

    Got my 5 spd rt back today after it spent two weeks in the shop waiting for BRP to send the dealer a rear shock. I don't feel too bad about it. I expected something to go wrong after reading about the nightmares others are facing. What really ticked me off though was that while my bike sat in...

    Shock Problem

    Another rear shock Dealer told me today that BRP is sending them a new shock for my RT. Basic 5 speed model whatever it's called. I Told them a month ago the shock was bad. Also told them to order me a new valve for the air dampner, figure if the air was leaking that's most likely the...

    Rear Shock

    Rear Shock problem again I have an RT, basic model,#611 with 3200 miles on it. Took it to the dealers two weeks ago because the rear shock was making noise and the rear end was bouncing. Dealer said that I did'nt have the air pressure set to specks and he lowered it from 44 to 40 lbs. Didn't...

    Rear Shock

    rear shock I have the standard RT. For the past week the rear shock has been making a loud metal against metal "clunking" noise whenever I go over a large bump or a manhole cover that is deep below the road surface. The noise happened when the shock rebounded from the bump, it was not...

    Hood Warped - NOT

    Warped hood Barbwire- my hood is warped too, dealer said he couldn't do anything about it and showed me that all the rt's he had on the showroom floor were the same way. Can you tell me what they did to straighten out your hood?

    Looking into the future of the RT

    I'd like to see BRP put a little pressure on the dealers to offer service at a reasonable rate. Almost $500.00 for 600 mile service and $180.00 for an oil change should be a criminal offense. Since the dealers are few and far between it's difficult to shop around for a better deal. Maybe...

    How much longer?

    I ordered my silver RT about six weeks ago and I'm still waiting. Dealer has no idea when it's coming and BRP has no info on when it will be manufactured or shipped. Does anyone have any idea what the wait time is? The sun is finally coming out and I'm getting itchy. Thanks.

    RT SE-5 problem & Engine oil question

    Clunk My Gold Wing does this when I put it in first after not using it for a few days. Try double clutching, pull the clutch in, let it out, pull it in again and then put the bike in first. Works for me. I don't know if it will work on the Spyder, I'm waiting for mine to come in.
