• 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.

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    Hard to believe that the same company has turbo charged UTV's pumping out 172 HP from a 1000cc STOCK motor, and no one, even the aftermarket, has found safe ways of bumping up the HP / torque of the 1330 Spyder motor yet?!?! Other than ECU tuning anyway.

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    Just find it odd that everyone that makes anything for the Spyder has threads on here about it except for the performance parts that every other forum always has.

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    So... where are all the performance upgrade threads? Who are the vendors that supply parts? Where are the dyno tuners and Rotex gurus that know where BRP hid the power? Where are the cams, high compression pistons, BBK's, turbo kits, supercharger kits, etc? You know, the stuff that makes fun...

    What about what you don't you like about the Spyder?

    I am thoroughly convinced that BRP only hires engineers with law degrees and a subspecialialty in corporate law.

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    That is correct. If you have an "M" endorsement you are grandfathered in to be able to ride either one. They don't issue an "M" endorsement for motorcycles anymore tho. They issue an "M2" (2 wheel motorcycle only) or an "M3" (3 wheel motorcycle only) endorsement. If you do both classes you get...

    Potential Newbie with some general questions

    I haven't been here that long, so I can't answer all of your questions. I'll answer what I can tho. I have owned other BRP products. They get a bad repair rap partially due to the propriety software they use. It makes it difficult, if not impossible to do do everything yourself and keeps you...

    What about what you don't you like about the Spyder?

    I'm assuming there must be a lot of folks here that do not do their own maintenance since no one has mentioned the PITA oil change on the 1330. Getting the oil filter out, all the o-rings, drain plugs on both sides of the bike, etc. I used to complain about the oil change on my M109R... never...

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    My wife still rides with me, but wanted a ride of her own. She likes the looks, handling, and performance of the Spyder. With her smaller size, she was having a difficult time finding a 2 wheel bike that fit her and hit all three of those points the way a Spyder does.

    What about what you don't you like about the Spyder?

    The way BRP tries to idiot proof everything they build with computer restrictions. Like stated above, BUDS makes it difficult for people to work on their own bike. That was the main reason I sold my XMR1000. If it wasn't for my wife wanting a Spyder so bad, I would have never bought another...

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    Spyder is primarily my wife's bike. I'm 45 and she just turned 47. She has been riding as passenger with me for years. She has experience on dirt bikes and ATVs, but no street bike experience. She had been talking about getting her own bike for the last 2-3 years, but just never found a bike...

    Spyder Sightings

    Im pretty sure I met the couple on the Red F3T and the White RT that you saw. They were at the Spyder Adventure in Maggie Valley. Stayed at the same hotel we stayed at. They pulled out around 8:30am and was headed up to VA. I know you said you didn't get a good look, but the White RT would have...
