• 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.

    Dealer prep/destination fees

    Dealers are kind of at liberty to charge whatever the market will bare. We were at 2 dealers today. One wanted over twice what the other wanted for freight and set up. Generally a good guess is that whatever they are charging you is double their cost. A smart dealer will charge you whatever...

    Well, that's off my shoulders.

    Finally got a chance to see and sit on the F3! Took less than 2 minutes to say, "Nope, not for me!" Jennifer sat on the passenger seat portion and she said, "There is no way I will ride behind you on this!" I am glad that the F3 is getting so great reviews, but it's not for us. We are long...

    Thinking of a new F3-S ...

    After riding big dressed bikes from 1971 (my first bike was a Honda 305 Superhawk, not quite "big") when I decided that I was tired of pushing, tip toeing, holding up 800+ pounds of motorcycles (I am 5'8", 140), along came the Spyder. My first one was in 2008, I bought a 2008 GS SE5, bare to...

    Just Wondering

    Will the seat of a 2010 RT fit the 2014 or 2015? I had an RDL installed on the original seat pan.

    BRP Frustrated at Pockets of Popularity

    Had forgotten about a message I sent (via their FB page) to the dealer I have bought and paid cash for, our 2008 GS SE5 and our 2010 RT SM5. If you want to know who he is, message me: : Just want to let you know that my wife and I were there today. We went in and went straight to the...

    BRP Frustrated at Pockets of Popularity

    When buying a vehicle we like to "deal". We know the dealers have to profit or they shut the doors. When I was shopping for our first Spyder in 2008 the first dealer I sat down with was going to charge me $2500 dollars for freight and setup! Didn't take me long to get on line and get a price...

    1330, The Great Oil Debate!

    We all have our thoughts and opinions about oil/oils. Like Romney put it, "47%" will never be convinced to even consider changing...I guess I am one of those. At 3,000 on our first Spyder, a 2008 GS SE5, I started using Royal Purple 10W40 Synthetic Automotive and have never looked back. I...

    Any negatives in mixing DOT 3 Brake fluid with DOT 4 in the reservoir?

    What are the negatives in mixing DOT 3 with DOT 4 in the reservoir...about 2 table spoons full.

    Where in Southern California did you get it. What dealers have any?

    To Blip or not to blip?

    Don't blip and quickly shift with your thumb. You don't take your foot off the pedal when your automatic shifts your car so don't do it with the SE. It's not a habit hard to break, it's one you should never get into with the SE.

    Ready to Buy

    We have a 2010 RT SM5 BareBone. The major issue was a bad Throttle Body, which was warranted, but never left me stranded before it got changed. I learned how to make it work, with patience. Also had the muffler replaced under warranty...baffle issues. Hums like a humming bird. Almost...

    Just don't get it

    I have thought about posting something like this for quite a while but I have been smoked too many times for expressing my mind. I agree with you 100%. If anybody calls me while we are riding they will have to wait until we stop. We have the BareBone RT, so the only music we hear is the wind...

    SPYDER RT LTD Insurance

    I have National General, 1-888-293-5108. Used to be GMAC Ins. Been with them for several years. Lowest I have found and they know what a Spyder is.

    Wrong Oil Change Kit

    Happened to me once and I live 60 miles from dealer, one way. Best thing to do is go to the BRP sight and get the part number/numbers from the OEM parts catalog, then double check the part when it gets set on the counter.

    Spyder population

    The question is a good one. The answer will probably never be correctly found. I am very thankful that if someone wants and can afford a Spyder he or she can get one. That means that BRP has the marketing skills to maintain the production levels to meet the market needs so that the Dealers...

    Problems Starting

    What feels like a tightly screwed battery connection may not be tight enough. If you haven't done it yet, put a wrench to the battery terminal and tighten it until it is TIGHT! Just a thought. You may have a hot/cold connection affecting the tightness.

    Mechanical noise when first starting

    I don't know of too many engines that don't have mechanical sounds when starting. You don't hear your car because of the sound insulation. I would start it, run it and enjoy it. Too much worry just kills the enjoyment. What do I think is causing this? Engine circulation of the oil that has...

    2011 rt

    I read a lot of these posts but never heard of ignition problems with the 2011 RT. Be patient to resolve this. Call BRP again and ask them if the dealer even called them. Also, I suggest not to use anymore WD40 in your switch (WD40 will collect dust matter and cause more problems)...if...
