• 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.

    Spyder Handles (Screen Names)

    I can relate to "Teacher Bob's Post" Once a teacher always a teacher......sort of! My "Handle" comes from the fact that I teach computers to elementary students Kindergarten through 5th grade. Been doing so for 23 years now. ;)

    Compressor cycling On 2012 RT Limited

    All fixed and okay--- My 2012 RTS-SE5 is back up and going again. BRP shippped the part over night to get me back up and running and home again. Apparently two factors went into this pump failure for the seat adjuster. One- the brass fitting was apparently over-tightened by someone at some...

    Stranded on hwy transmission out

    My two cents Definately sounds like BRP knows something for sure. I recall the 14's were delayed for a reason and I bet some how maybe this one snuck by and got released? You know something is up when BRP flies someone from Canada long long ways to work on a repair and so forth. This is NOT...

    Whos NOT upgrading to 2014 ?

    I want to but no viper red----- I would LOVE to trade my 2012 RTS-SE5 in for a 2014----but there is NO VIPER RED in this model year's line up, how they couldn't come up with a VIPER RED for 2014 is beyond logic. Are they not looking at sales and colors? Red is highly visiable, beautiful and...

    2014 RT Colors

    Who made the decisions on colors at BRP? I can't believe that they have not done the VIPER RED! It's a very popular color and a good visibility color as well. 2012 RT-S SE5 is viper red- I would love to upgrade to 2014- but no Viper Red- and I agree everyone will be in that Cognac Color...
