• 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.

    New BRP Connect App

    Rain and cold here for the next week, so my free 8 days are going to be gone before I have a chance to try it out. Let us know how you like it.

    Positive comments about Spyders

    I was glad to see this post. It gives me the opportunity to heap some praise on my dealer, Edwards Motorsports in Council Bluffs Iowa. My buying and service experience there has been "top-Notch". Justin Carter in Sales exceeded my expectations in trade negotiations and securing the deal. He has...

    New BRP Connect App

    Bought the Spyder the first part of July from Edwards in Council Bluffs. We have nearly 8,000 miles on it already. Its been a good riding summer.

    New BRP Connect App

    I do belong to NSIR. I haven't had a chance to join in on any gatherings yet. Seems like always something else going on. Hope to join in soon.

    New BRP Connect App

    Tap on the speaker icon at the bottom of the map screen. Then, under audio alerts, you can disable those alerts individually. Unfortunately, it is not permanent. It will reset itself to re-enable if you leave the app and return.

    New BRP Connect App

    You and me both on the Genius Maps "Speed Limit" warning. :sour: I even put a sticky note on the cell phone holder, and I still forget to disable that warning. Once you are under way, its too late to do anything about it.

    New BRP Connect App

    I just discovered a new app that is compatible with BRP Connect. It is called Sygic and is another navigation app. It looked promising as an alternative to Genius Maps, so I downloaded the app and maps, secretly hoping that this one would be free. It wasn't until I did all of that did I...

    Genius Maps

    After you enter the address in the search box, select it on the screen. Next you will see a map screen with your search result at the bottom. See the "minus" looking dash just above where it says "search result"? Drag that up towards the top of the screen. Keep dragging until you see "Save to my...

    Temperature sensitive SE6

    ??????????? I will tho I don't see the connection yet. I wish I could go out and check it. Having to ride miles, the let it sit and idle for 10 minutes seems like overkill.

    Temperature sensitive SE6

    It is an 18 RT Limited. Downshifting, reverse, and neutral has been an issue ever since I rode through a heavy rain a month or so ago. Thankfully it is under warranty. That left handlebar switch group is over $400 bucks I'm told.

    Temperature sensitive SE6

    Just returned from a great ride through New Mexico. Woke up on Thursday morning in Chama with temperature of 40 degrees. Transmission would not shift into reverse, neutral or downshift at all. It did upshift just fine however. Thankfully I was parked on a level parking lot at the motel and I...

    2018 Spyder RT Limited Genuis Map & Volume Problem

    You can control the volume level of the Genius Maps app by using the joystick just like setting the FM radio volume. However, you can only do this while receiving spoken turn by turn directions and while you are in the FM music screen. So, set yourself a destination and take off. As you approach...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    I made something similar, but obviously made it out of material that was a little too flexible. It had a tendency to get sucked up between the tire and the fender. Something more rigid might be the answer.

    BRP Trailer hitch

    These both look like great options. I will definitely pick one of them. It seems like we have at least one day of rain on most of our trips.

    Looking for BRP Connect expert

    I've had my share of challenges with BRP Connect and Genius Maps. My hunch is that BRP Connect and Genius Maps wants complete control over your phone. Nothing else can be running in the background. When you simply try to switch screens, your music player is still active and Genius Maps won't...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    Thanks. That's a good idea. My thought in removing the hitch was to hopefully do away with or at least reduce the amount of spray soaking my wife's back and hair when riding in the rain. It looks to me like the hitch and it's mud flap might be the culprits.

    BRP Trailer hitch

    BRP Trailer Hitch Thank you! I didn't realize that the axle shaft was hollow and that this "Jesus bolt" went through it. Seeing the head of a bolt on one end, and a nut w/cotter pin on the other had me thinking that I was looking at the axle shaft itself. I definitely didn't want to remove...

    BRP Trailer hitch

    I would like to be able to remove the factory hitch when I'm not planning on pulling the trailer for a while. I noticed that there are two bolts on each side of the hitch assembly, and if removed maybe the back half of the hitch would slide out. Has anyone tried this? The bolts (unfortunately)...

    2018 Helmet sound

    Sena SR10 I'm intrigued by your post. I've wanted to listen to the FM radio through the headsets ever since I bought my '18 RTL. I'm somewhat familiar with the SR10 and understand how you would connect a GPS (for example) to it and then through the bluetooth connection be able to hear voice...
