• 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.

    Possible BATTERY issue and/or unexplained electrical, electronic Gremlin

    You provide sound reasons for the lower grade components and ones I didn't give enough credence to. Thanks for broadening my perspective. Thank Your Child for their Service, for me.

    Possible BATTERY issue and/or unexplained electrical, electronic Gremlin

    When I spoke to the Service Dept Manager on Friday he basically agreed the Chinese batteries were not up to the task. I believe I will get the battery swap and not be charged but will know on Monday. The scenario you describe at BRP sounds very plausible to me. I still find it odd that...

    2024 Spyder issues make me wonder if I should buy yet?

    I have had my 2024 Spyder RTL S2S just short of two weeks. Only have 365 miles on it so hard to gauge long-time reliability but can say without a doubt and no hesitation, I love it. Your decision of course but if the deal is sweet I suggest you buy it... ride it... and enjoy it.

    New here - Just a quick Hey

    Thank You for the clarification, I was unaware of the earlier "STS" abbreviation. I'll certainly use the currently correct S2S moniker. I went back to my original Post to see if I could correct the verbiage and found that Peter Aawen had graciously performed the correction for me. Thanks Peter...

    Here is a pic that was taken at F & T Motorsports, San Benito, TX. I bought it at their main location in Pharr, TX but took possession in San Benito, TX at their new dealership site.

    New here - Just a quick Hey

    To All, Thank You for the warm Welcome and Well Wishes. I went on a 1.5 hour ride this afternoon (loved it) and was properly initiated by an idiot in a pickup who pulled out directly in front of me and then abruptly stop. :gaah: Luckily was able to swing handlebar to right and get stopped...

    Thanks. Yes, I imagine the Mods will step in when necessary. I had enjoyed this Forum in the past as it was just starting. Absolutely, this Forum is a wealth of knowledge and comradery. I was (very) interested in a Can Am for a long time but Life kept getting in the way. At 73 now I figured I...
