• 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.

    Engine

    Question. I put my 2011 RSS in the shop back in June, the diagnosis was the engine is damaged beyond repair. BRP is covering the engine under warranty but they won't be able to deliver the engine until October. Should I request a loaner from BRP? I am having Spyder withdrawls and need to ride.

    Oil Usage

    Hey it will be a few weeks before I can ride again, my engine locked and I am waiting on BRP to send the new engine. Maybe the new engine wont burn the oil and gas like the locked engine did. I live in Loganville, Ga. where is Mt. Airy?

    Engine Locked

    I haven't contacted BRP, the service department has to take the engine apart to see what may have caused the issue. Should I contact BRP? Should I get my Lawyer involved if they wont honor the warranty?
