• 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.

    What do you think your Spyder looks like?

    We've had snowmobiles in the past, we had two actually, mine and my wife's. Sold em both along with the trailer a few years ago. I've spent many a fun time on these machines and I can tell you that the Spyder does in fact require the same rider input and the two machines feel very much alike. Of...

    Do you have Water Spots on the Engine finish?

    Just wondering, are you sure that your outside water is softened and filtered? In most cases, the outside water faucet normally gets fed before the softener. This is the way my house was plumbed and it's the same for others that I have checked. In any case, add me to the leaf blower list. I...

    Who would have thought that Grip Puppies could make such a difference!

    I'm not talking about the bar ends; I'm talking about the ends of the stock grips. On mine there is a large 'flange' on the outside of the grips. The Puppies would have to be stretched over the flange or the stock grips would have to be removed, then install the Puppies over the stock grips and...

    Who would have thought that Grip Puppies could make such a difference!

    I already have a good trick for installing grips. I use my air compressor along with a trigger air nozzle. Get the grips started on the end of the bar, insert the air nozzle under the edge of the grip and give it a blast of air while pushing the grip onto the bar. Works like magic!

    Who would have thought that Grip Puppies could make such a difference!

    I've used Grip Puppies on my two wheeled bikes and liked them. I considered adding them to my F3 but I was wondering if the Puppies would stretch enough to fit over the 'flange' on the outside of the OEM grips? Those who have installed these, were you able to stretch em enough to over the...

    2023 RT Engine Noise - I'd be hard pressed to recommend them!

    Wow, that REALLY sucks! I feel bad for you. Have you checked out the lemon laws in your state? You should investigate this. Do you have an attorney? If so, I would give him/her a call and see what they have to say on this subject.

    How easy is it to replace Mode and Parking buttons? The print on 2019 RTL has gone!

    That's a good idea! Instead of spray I might just brush some on in a couple of thin coats.

    Be careful Riding When it's Too Hot! Hydrate & keep cool!!

    I feel badly for the dead guy and his family but it's not as if the riders didn't know that it was going to be unusually HOT the day of their ride, right?

    HD STILL can't get their tune up right!

    I agree 100%! You can't erase history by hiding the things that remind us of it. I'm not suggesting that at all. The biker that I'm talking about is not a southerner, he's not displaying the confederate flag to celebrate his southern heritage...

    HD STILL can't get their tune up right!

    If a person wants to display a confederate flag because they're proud of their southern heritage, that's one thing. If a person is from the 'north' (the biker is from this area) and they display a confederate flag for 'other' reasons, that's quite another thing, don't you agree (unless of...

    HD STILL can't get their tune up right!

    I have an attention ****/biker who lives two houses away from me. When he's not making noise on his HD he's doing other annoying things to get his attention fix. Saturday night was his chance to get noticed, again. The ******** had a ******** party and set-up a large display of fireworks...

    HD STILL can't get their tune up right!

    Attention *** are gonna do what attention *** do. It's all about getting attention. Whether it's making noise on your motorcycle or with whatever machine you drive/ride, or with crazy hair colors and/or makeup, or with outrageous behavior. These people crave attention and get it one way or the...

    HD STILL can't get their tune up right!

    If you haven't seen this clip from South Park about HD riders, then you are in for a treat! If you've already seen it, it's still good for another laugh or three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipDmsxQVxIM

    Brand new F3 - Cruise Control and Sport Mode not working.

    Ok then, I finally got some time to really mess around with the cruise control on my F3. It does work but I don't know why it's working now and not before, but that doesn't matter, it's working now. I can verify that just turning the CC on does not cause an indicator to appear on the dash...

    How easy is it to replace Mode and Parking buttons? The print on 2019 RTL has gone!

    I wear gloves while riding BUT, my Spyder has less than 500 miles on it. I've been busy with stuff around the house, and I haven't had much of a chance to get out and ride. So, it's not like the Mode button has seen much action.

    Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed

    As the others have said, you're SOL on the BRP BEST warranty. But the answer to your question, the BRP BEST = ~$670 3 years warranty extension from the dealership that I purchased it from.

    2024 RT Ltd Cruise Control Indicator Light not showing - anyone else?

    I've read the 23 manual cover to cover a few times now and I would really love to know what they were thinking in some of these sections! Does BRP not have any competent technical writers or at least a competent proofreader?
