• 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.

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    The RT is in the shop. The battery was replaced during a previous repair. While I do appreciate all the advice given, one thing bugs me... I see, not just in this thread but throughout this whole forum, there's quite a bit of ragging on dealers or at least questioning dealers abilities and...

    Is the Canyon traction control/Nanny set up differently vs the RT's?

    I just arrived home from a very enlightening 6 hour ride on the Canyon. I really, really like the Canyon. In some respects, sitting on it reminds me of my old BMW GS Adventure - and that is a very big compliment. I also love having bar mounted mirrors. Far superior rear view than on my RT L...

    Is the Canyon traction control/Nanny set up differently vs the RT's?

    Just had a quick peek in the parking garage and sure enough the right peg was down. I had a look through the modes and menus and things look very interesting. Maybe by the time tomorrow is done I'll be able to say definitively if I should have gone with the Canyon.

    Is the Canyon traction control/Nanny set up differently vs the RT's?

    No kidding!!!! Being a demo, there's no manual, so I didn't even know about the ride modes. I'll download the manual and figure things out. I'll probably post an update tomorrow after I burn some more gas. Thanks!!!

    Is the Canyon traction control/Nanny set up differently vs the RT's?

    MY RT L is in the shop again (long story)... my dealer let me have their Red Rock demo while mine is out of commission. I put a couple of hundred miles on this morning and am very curious if the Canyon traction control is set up differently than the RT's and F3's. The reason I ask is that on my...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    I appreciate all the replies, support and suggestions. I'm taking the RT in to the dealer this morning. They have a Canyon demo for to use for the time being. As I stated earlier, I have no confidence in my RT and given how much time and money I've already spent I don't want to have to do it all...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    JayBros, the dealer has opened a case with BRP. I am having productive discussions with all departments and all levels of management, including the owner. I believe they are trying their best to help. In talking to the service writer and listening to a couple of conversations he’s had with BRP...

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    My new in crate 2024 RT L was purchased exactly 3 months ago. I have had the machine in at the dealer 9 times. I've experienced mysterious shutting down for no reason requiring the battery to be disconnected to restart. Suspension faults due to improper assembly, alternator shaft requires...

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    Yea, chirping. My dealer just told me that it is the alternator shaft on my 2 month old RT L. Back ordered until September.

    2024 RT Limited 'Suspension Fault' messages flashing on the screen - suspension compressor or no?

    I agree to a point. I’m not afraid of doing the work myself, but from what I understand, the ride height has to be set at the dealership - or at least should have been when they did the pre-delivery set up.

    2024 RT Limited 'Suspension Fault' messages flashing on the screen - suspension compressor or no?

    Thanks Mikey, I did look under the left side and saw the link just hanging in the breeze. To me, from what I saw, it looks like it was never hooked up to begin with. Back to the dealer on Tuesday.

    2024 RT Limited 'Suspension Fault' messages flashing on the screen - suspension compressor or no?

    Thanks Troop. I'll have a peek here shortly... I still don't understand the need for the Schrader valve or why the dealer was extremely clear about setting it manually for load.

    2024 RT Limited 'Suspension Fault' messages flashing on the screen - suspension compressor or no?

    For the life of me I can't wrap my head around the rear suspension. To begin with I'm getting 'Suspension Fault' messages - only at highway speeds on smooth ground. These come and go seemingly at will. They flash on the screen and the little shock icon and exclamation point are also displayed...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Throttle function has never been an issue. The throttle position sensor is used to monitor the throttle body valve position, not the physical throttle itself. I don't know what vintage your machine is but these machines are now Ride By Wire there is no direct mechanical connection between the...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Ron, that's a question I can't honestly answer. I do know with 100% certainty that they did replace the original with a Yuasa. Apparently one of the other techs they were talking to was aware of a switch cluster issue but those symptoms couldn't be replicated on my machine. While I was on the...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    I just returned from my tour... it was shorter than planned but I still managed a good 2000 miles. During the trip I had no issues at all with what I had been experiencing... but now I'm reading threads about suspension faults. Wish me luck.

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    The Spyder is back in my hands. The dealer said they were in contact with reps from France, Belgium, Quebec. They did a bunch of testing and found that my Throttle Position Sensor was way out of whack and reset it. I didn't ride it too much over the last couple of days but didn't have any...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    I received a text from the dealer, apparently they’ve been on the phone with the case rep for most of the morning and will be trouble shooting in the afternoon.

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Let’s have another update just for the fun of it! I got to the dealership just as they were opening. Fortunately I was able to replicate the problem in the parking lot. The tech came out and hooked up the computer and found…. Nothing :( He did think it was either the ecm or the switch cluster...
