• 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.

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    My information is that BRP wants the VIN# for sprocket replacement, or so my dealer says. Had a long discussion with the service writer, and there was no mention of having to take a picture of the sprocket to determine IF it would be replaced. Can't see how a picture would determine this.

    Dang it! The ice is here. Countless wrecks all over the metropolitan area. One dead in a 10 car pileup. People here don't have the good sense to NOT DRIVE ON ICED OVER ROADS!!!

    And I thought moving back to Texas from Connecticut meant I wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. From the National Weather Service: A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 9 AM This morning through Wednesday across the Hill Country, along and east of the I-35 corridor. Significant...

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    Got it. I had a similar experience in that I had to sign an NDA with a motorcycle company who can't be named regarding a number of problems I had with one of their 2013 models.

    Did you consider a Piaggio MP3 before getting a Spyder?

    OK genius's - What is this and where does it go?

    OK, one would think that if they came off of his Spyder, he would know what they are. Or maybe not.

    Finally. New bike for me!

    I really like that flat black. My dealer here in Austin has a Sea To Sky in flat black with black wheels that is awesome. If I had any money, I'd be sorely tempted to trade up.

    F3L Parking Brake locking on - any advice?

    I too had the exact same parking brake problem about three years ago i.e. the rear brake would not release. I was able to get the brake loose by disconnecting the cable, then had it towed to the dealer. The whole parking brake assembly as well as the brake light switch were replaced under...

    Looking for place to mount a digital volt meter on 2021 RT

    I put my combination double usb/voltmeter in the right speaker grill. I wired it directly to the battery, both hot and ground. Very convenient when I have my phone in the TacForm phone mount say, when using Google Maps on my phone as it charges continuously. I removed the grill and used a spade...

    Anyone shipped their Spyder?

    :agree: I used HaulBikes when I moved from Connecticut to Texas in January 2021. They came to my house with an 18 wheeler that had two levels of storage with a lift for the upper level. They picked up the Spyder on the date they promised, and took roughly 2 1/2 weeks before it was delivered...
