• 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.

    Mono Seat Cowl & Sport Rack?

    not sure where you are going with this post? I have the sport rack, back rest. I can still seat my mono cowl on the back but it is pointless to have the BRP backrest attached with the mono cowl attached....still it makes a strange statement: I COULD take you with me, but I choose not to. Mono...

    possible cause for fires?

    I wanted to get this out ASAP and so I am starting a new thread (however same bike, same continuing issues). I had posted: .....However, driving through gears 1-3, the bike pops, backfires and tries to die. ... Received call from service dept. "...arching from spark plug cap to Head."...

    Brake failure...again and again

    in response: while the bike was in for brake issues related to the lower brake sensor malfunction, the entire wiring harness was replaced due to some other mysterious issue. The brakes seemed fine when I picked up the bike, but they never gave me any problems until after I got home (whether this...

    Brake failure...again and again

    continuing saga of PE1032...maybe it was the shoes? Short version: picked up bike on Friday, turned in loaner (clean, full of gas and Hollywood plate attached). Drove my bike to gas station, and shopping -about two miles. Let bike cool down and drove another two miles. Called dealership. Drove...

    PE 1026 is no more

    PE1026, you will always be a PE owner to us. Keep the jacket and wear it proudly. Mine is still in the shop, hope if there is any simular issues it happens around a shop full of witnesses!

    Traansformers? Don't bother!

    did anyone else notice??? Bob and I went to see the movie before the LA gathering. We both agree that there are about 5-10 sec. more of Spyder clips shown at the LA gathering than in the local theatres. I have heard of this before, slight editorial changes that lean towards the area or State...

    Forerunner to the Spyder?

    This bit of trivia may interest you: In 2004, HD patented a three-wheeler...looking much like the Spyder. They figured they was loosing money by not producing a trike and so many of their riders were getting older and seeking aftermarket help. The rumor is that this new model was too different...

    Brake failure...again and again

    ME TOO!! :helpsmilie: I could drive up sooner but if I pick it up Tues-Thurs, then I am time restricted (work interfers with everything). If I wait until Friday (Holiday at this job), I can toodle around Fresno and see if I can brake it before I leave. :f_spider:

    Paying to much for Insurance?

    Try Foremost.. they are the motorcycle insurer for HD, but more importantly they are the first to update their computer systems to recognize the Spyder as a production model, not a home-made trike. We pay less than 900 a year for a 2006 HD and 2008 Spyder.

    extended warrenty

    I bought a PE, ordered in 2007. As we have learned from purchasing anything with a computer in it....always buy the extended warranty for anything purchased in the first year or two of existance. There are always bugs to be worked out. I tell people it is like buying Vista...I am working out the...

    Brake failure...again and again

    Brake failure...again and again

    Back from the LA gathering, loved meeting everyone and enjoyed myself beyond words. Expected to hear a message left from the dealership that my bike was fixed and ready to go....no message. Guess I get to keep the 2009 a little longer...that's okay, we want to clean it up a bit first!

    Brake failure...again and again

    Thank you for caring :thumbup:...the saga continues. The parts were not ordered until Tuesday, and someone forgot to consult a calendar to see that Wed. was a national Canadian Holiday. No mail moved out. So no parts for my spyder. They now have to replace the entire wiring harness and Low...

    Brake failure...again and again

    yeah, yeah...I know...shoulda, woulda, coulda :dontknow: I am going to call BRP later (work has been complicated today). I am going to hold Clawson's to their word, I want to drive a Spyder to this thing, preferrably mine. It is not over until I start singing. We could not dispose of our pet...

    Brake failure...again and again

    You are all correct that we are concerned that the shop will accidently botch the wiring. Especially since there is a timing/pressure issue to avoid loaning me a Spyder (for the trip to Hollywood). We originally told them we would pick up the bike Thurs. morning. Since they are requesting to...

    Spyder Caravan to Hollywood

    Tuesday night and no Spyder. If you read my blog about brake failure, that says it all. I am definately not riding with the coast group, I won't even get my bike back until Thursday night....if I get my bike. And because if this, we won't be replacing the back tire until after I get back. I...

    Brake failure...again and again

    update on brake failure... Spoke with the shop. Spyder is in pieces. BRP has assisted (remote link) and they have determined that the entire wiring harness is junk...also the Low Pressure Switch is bad and must be replaced. More bad news, parts will be overnighted but no guarantee that they...
