• 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.

    ABANDONED BY BRP !!!

    I do a lot of touring during the spring and summer. Spyder service is frequently not readily available should I have a serious issue. However, two years ago I had a flat front tire. Couldn't be patched as it was a tear into the sidewall. I was in Libbey, Montana. Local tire dealer no help with...

    Couple questions for you

    I avoid having to sneak past the motel front desk with their room towls by simply asking if they have any old towels available to clean the bugs off my windscreen and bike. They've never failed to provide them along with a smile and a "thanks for asking". I have 2014 RT Se6 Ltd, platinum satin...

    Dealers near portland

    Now have experience with three dealers. Bought my 2011 RT in Bend @ Pro Caliber. Got great treatment then. This year on return leg of my summer tour, I stopped in. Had questions and maybe a couple issues. What I got was indifference. Not even a conversation, just ignored my questions and...

    Spyder RT - New Analog Fuel Gauge Bulletin

    Have 11 RT and the gauge bounced like a ping pong ball. They ordered part and in the interim, I unplugged the gauge and the digital display appeared. Loved it. When the new analog came in, they plugged it in and away I went. Just waiting until it goes bad - then I'll unplug it again and use the...

    What's the real capacity

    I appreciate all the experience and tips. Wife and I usually try to stop every 2 hrs regardless of miles traveled. However, there have been times when it's a long way between pit stops and I kinda wanted a sense of how far I might push it if need be and still have some cushion. Right now, I've...

    What's the real capacity

    This is exactly the information I was looking for - actual hands on experience. I know the engineers draw stuff up that looks great, but the actual operational experience shows it don't always work the way it's drawn. So I suspect that my actual capacity is between 5.5 and 6 gallons. Right now...

    What's the real capacity

    In reading the spec page of my owners manual, it states the fuel tank capacity is 6.6 gallons. I got curious about that during my last outing and wondered about the actual useable capacity. With the filler neck located on the front left corner in what appears to be a position lower than some...

    Venting about our Spyder

    Hey Spydercouple. I've been taking my new 2011 RT Se5 to Longview Pro Caliber. Bought mine in Bend, but that's too long a haul from Tillamook. I drove up to PC Longview one day with wife in tow and just wandered around, getting sense of the place. Talked to Parts, Sales and shop folks. Got a...
