• 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.

    Should I be concerned that my Spyder has no need for pressing the Mode Button before starting?

    I have a 2022 RTL. I press and hold the brake pedal down, turn the key on, press the mode button, and hit the starter. I don't have to wait for the safety message. Not much different from the 2024's startup procedure. In fact, I believe this is the same procedure since 2020 for the RT's.

    Have you experienced any Road rage incidents?

    Yes, a few years ago, my sweetheart and I were riding in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Belt Pkwy in Brooklyn, NY when a space opened in front of me, a pick-up just a bit behind me on the right, sped up and cut me off without signaling to gain a car length. I had to apply my brakes sharply. I...

    Riding my new to me Spyder from Texas to Maine, seat won't stay up & USB port won't charge - anyone else? Any fixes/ideas/help?

    I use the Spyder Extra flip up bracket to hold my seat. I purchased it from Slingmods. It's easy-peasy to install. As far as charging my samsung phone, I use the usb connection in the glove box. Most of the time it charges my phone sufficiently, but I carry a small portable charger plugged into...

    Buying a 2025 RT Limited - is the VIP Loyalty Program worth it? Is the Extended Warranty worth it?

    What does the VIP Loyalty program cover? In 3 years you should have at 3-4 maintenance visits. The first at 3K miles, then once a year of 9,300 miles whichever comes first. I pay about $250 for service visits. I would opt for the extended BEST warranty which you can purchase from any dealer...

    2011 RT Won't Start - switch was loose, so I glued it in, could this be the problem?

    I don't know your start-up procedure since you don't provide your ride information. Regardless, here are some thoughts: Is the emergency cut-off switch off? Are you stepping on the brake pedal as you turn the ignition key? Are you following the correct steps for your ride as detailed in your...

    Left headlight stopped working, but the Right headlight is still working - any suggestions on what to look at/try?

    I had the same issue with my 2014. I changed both bulbs and Voila! Let there be light. Changing them was not difficult, time consuming, but not difficult. As Racoon noted instructions for removal/replacement are in the operator's manual. You can also find videos.

    Is there any factory installed Navigation on a 2024 F3T?

    No, navigation is not installed. In 2018 BRP stopped offering installed GPS as an option. BRP decided that riders will be dependent on their smart phone to provide GPS through BRP's BRP Connect App. In 2024, BRP added Apple CarPlay as the means to use GPS. To use this you must have an iPhone...

    I cannot get the T25 screw on top RH of the Windscreen bracket to loosen - any suggestions?

    Since it's on the windshield and you do not state that it is stripped and I wouldn't want to melt or crack the windshield, I would try penetrating oil to lube the screw, wait a few minutes and give it a try. If that doesn't work, I would apply more oil and using a vise grip on the handle of...

    My '21 S2S rattles quite badly for a few seconds after ~5 months layup start - any way to spin the motor without starting?

    None of the RT's I've owned did this, maybe other models do. With the kill switch on, nothing happened.
