• 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.

    Stopped by my dealer today and it appears my vin is not among the list of affected spyders. However I was left with the impression ALL Spyders were affected. I did not get receive a letter (too early), but think I will call BRP to be sure. Cheers all.

    Hand guards on RS?

    Tools Questions

    Hi Bert. It is nice to see more spyderlovers doing work on their Spyders. I do a lot of my own work also, and I find the shop manual really helps identify the proper tools, but equally important, the torque requirements for fasteners. If you are interested in continuing to take care of your RT...

    Hour Meter stopped - 1070.9 Hours

    Thanks for the reply, Scotty. That was my understanding... but I did read (last year) that the hour fix was 'being worked on'. That is what I'd like to confirm. I just made another loop around town to be sure my odometer is still counting, it is 55,000+km. The hour meter remains at 1070.9...
