• 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.

    Feedback on the new Forum Format?

    I have no complaints with the new format. In a previous incarnation I was a victim of too many PowerPoint presentations that were heavy on form and BS for substance. I follow SL for the substance, which about 10 years ago may have prevented me from purchasing a 2013 RT firebomb Spyder. I'll...

    Guided rides, what would you pay?

    I prefer not to ride in large groups and enjoy most planning my own rides/routes. Did the Three Wheeler Rally in '17 mapping all the roads myself and had a great time, saw all the sights, then some. If someone asks to accompany me, I explain what I'm doing, and if they want to accompany me fine...

    Having difficulties properly Filling the gas tank!

    I have suffered like most Spyder owners filling the tank because of two factors: (1) the design of the tank and the fill location (out of our control), and (2) and the velocity of the fuel as it comes out of the pump and the finite control of the pump nozzle valve (again, generally our of our...

    Where to look to get more handlebar cable slack on 2020+ RT models?

    Please excuse me if I'm missing something, but your descriptions in the 3rd and 4th sentences confuse me regarding which way you are looking for and at the cable looms. In the 3rd sentence you say the left side cable is nowhere to be found. Does that mean you cannot find the loom from the left...

    Anyone else have website opening issues over the last couple of days?

    I had a problem last evening on both desktop and phone. Desktop had error message that said it just wouldn't load w/- Microsoft suggestion to run connection test that did not correct. Safari on iPhone wouldn't load it with error message saying "too many redirects." Everything fine this morning.

    Oil leak at 100 miles! New 2024 S2S

    It's very unfortunate, but I think sometimes Spyder owners expect all BRP dealerships to perform the way many cage dealerships do. It just doesn't happen that way. Couple that with the fact that the recreational powersports industry has some industry-wide problems. Just yesterday the WSJ...

    Can-Am dealers not hungry?

    I bought my Spyder from a dealership the same distance you travel and have been doing so since the BRP dealership five miles from my home with an excellent service department closed. (Their sales dept wouldn't cut a dime off MSRP when I was buying.) My latest service from them was having Tire...

    Any suggestions on a Drink carrier for the Top Case? Any 3D print options? 2020+ RT

    I use a Camelbak, carryover from many years of long distance bicycling, but K80Shooter's suggestion sounds perfect. Best thing about the Camelbak, I can drink at 80 mph if I want.

    Is it OK to lift a 2017 RT at the receiver hitch?

    If you drive the Spyder onto the ramps, frontwards or backwards, and look underneath where the crankcase drain plug is you will see it's on the rearward side of the engine. Don't worry about the fact that the rear wheel is on the garage floor and the bike isn't level. Drain the oil, change the...

    Oil leak at 100 miles! New 2024 S2S

    The OP having a problem with BRP and the dealership deciding how to "proceed" on this one is a 10KT load of bovine effluent. The 1330 ACE engine is bulletproof. It's BRP's and the dealership's responsibility to fix both problems under warranty. The owner should expect nothing less.

    Your thoughts on BRP (DOOO) as a company to invest in??

    Charlton said he was llooking at DOOO from an investment perspective, so I just used Ferrari as a motorsport stock as an example. My apologies that the links didn't work. Go to Yahoo Finance, type in the stock symbols and look at the YTD performance. I agree with JKMSPYDER; wouldn't spend one...

    I Killed My Battery - left it on a tender... New battery awaiting collection!

    Just a thought if I were in the market for a new Spyder, which I am not, I would insist that as part of the OTD deal the dealership replace the Chinese rip off they call a battery with an American one. That thing they are calling a battery in the new MYs is an insult to intelligence of someone...
