• 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.

    Does a leaky Elka rear shock have to be shipped to them?

    Any local suspension shop should be able to get the parts. There is nothing unique to their design. Several years ago my Elka front shocks started leaking. I first contacted Elka in Canada and at that time they only had a single shop in the US that was an authorized repair center. I called...

    Anyone used this AJC Battery?

    I've never heard of the brand, but I'd think it should be okay. The price is good. :dontknow:

    Passenger Grab handles (& floorboards) rubber base different rubber? Fading badly!

    As far as I know, BRP was also supposed to be investigating these parts for poor fitment and nothing ever came of that either.

    This is how our Spyder Axle Adjusters work!

    My suspicion is BRP did it this way to make rear tire changes and belt alignments difficult to do for a home mechanic, in order to draw you back into the dealership network to help maximize profits.

    BRP Go instead of BRP Connect?

    I like it better. However, I don't use any music through the app. I just use it for mapping only, so in that regard it works better. I control my music through my Sena headset. Even though I said I like it better, it is still a deeply flawed app.

    Stripped Threaded Push Pins in Side Storage compartments????

    These automotive push pins are identical to ones used on certain Dodge and Chrysler cars from the early 1990's.

    2020 RTL brake issue - it's eating rotors! HELP?

    From your description it could be a problem with the anti-lock module. Anti-lock brakes work by controlling the flow of brake fluid to the calipers creating essentially an on-off flow. When the anti-lock module actives under hard braking it creates a shuddering sensation like you're...

    Who makes the Spyder 6 speed transmission?

    Don't forget they make (or at least used to and maybe still do, I haven't looked lately) excellent aircraft engines too.

    Anyone run Rotella T6 in a 998 SM5?

    I ran T6 in my 08 GS when I had it. Never a problem or issue.

    2020 RT Saddlebag Sticking

    To my mind it should clearly be a warranty issue, but the dealer is the gatekeeper to all things warranty so I'd talk to them about it before they wrote it up to see what they have to say. If they're being difficult move onto the next dealer since nothing would be in writing at that point...

    2020 Spyder RT Limited gauge cluster is loose - ideas to re-fix?

    You shouldn't be able to hit a pothole hard enough to do that, so something might not have been properly attached at the factory. You're still under warranty so you might want the dealer to take a look at it.

    S2S floorboard rubber mat loose?

    Yep, totally normal. BRP copied the floorboard design from HD in that the rubber portion sort of floats to absorb vibration to eliminate fatigue on longer rides.

    2014 RTS do I need to remove rear rotor to have tire mounted?

    As was already stated, no. Any competent tire changer can work around the disc.

    Transmission Bearing Replacement - anyone had one done?

    Transmission Bearing Replacement - anyone had one done?

    Honestly a Spyder is just a motorcycle with an extra wheel. The early Spyder drivetrain is just an Aprilia engine/transmission adapted into the Spyder. A top notch independent motorcycle shop/mechanic with a shop manual can do the job and it will be much cheaper than a dealer due to a lower...

    Anyone put Brembo brakes on a 2012 RT? - Can it be done?

    I bet you can. HOWEVER, you're likely to be replacing quite a few parts in the process. The cheapest and easiest way to do it is to find a wrecked Spyder and then start grabbing and replacing parts. I would bet that you'd have to replace almost the entire front end from the A arms outward...

    Belt eating chip seal

    That almost exact scenario happened to my wife and I outside of Wilber, WA several years ago. No sign or warning, just stop and go traffic suddenly appearing. Once we were caught in the mess, then they had a sign. Those idiots were just laying the material onto the roadway and weren't even...

    2014 RT - did they have front pulley problems?

    Same here. I sold my 2014 with almost 60k miles without ever having the issue.

    Belt replacement mileage

    Unless it's in the desert sun all of the time (UV radiation) that belt should last a really long time, like Mike suggested.

    Changed to a 215/60/15 on a RSS. Shock clearance concern

    I also used that same tire and size on my 2014 RT with no issues and was very happy with the results to boot.
