• 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.

    BRP issues Campaign to address heat issue for 2013 models!!!

    So... how would someone living in Claifornia get this much needed update? CARB states be damned, I'm sick of roasting on my Spyder. :banghead:

    I'm going to try several of the options I've seen here over this next week and I'll report back with results when I get them. :thumbup:

    I bought my Spyder in Cali, so that means it's a CARB vehicle and this new update won't fix anything? Or can I just not get the update in this state? If I drive to Arizona can I get it done there? :(

    This. If there is a heat fix possible for this bike I need it!

    Bulletin 2013-9

    Wait... I never knew there was a difference. So you mean that because I bought my Spyder in Cali, it's a CARB vehicle and this new update won't fix anything? :sour: Is there any way to convert it to a non-CARB Spyder?

    Thanks for the reply. Here's some more info: The pipes are wrapped, I had Lou at Pirate Powersports do it so it would get done right. He put heat shielding all inside it too, and also did my first full service so I know he checked for leaks and bad hoses. I use 91 octane fuel, but I'm in...

    I shift at 5500 RPMs. I'm a bit OCD about it too. I never ride in a gear that puts the RPMs below 4500. I only get to 5th gear on the highway at speeds above 60. I also drive in trailer mode, so it won't even let me upshift until I've passed 4500 RPMs and it downshifts at 3500 RPMs. My riding...

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    Yep, I just got back. They took pictures of the side panel that came off to send to BRP for a (hopeful) replacement, and checked the noise. 5 minutes later they had the noise fixed after they tightened the bolts on the sway bar. Before they tightened the bolts they showed me how loose they...

    Well the wife and I rode for most of the day and we had to fill up twice. What I don't understand is that on the digital gauge I was on my last fuel bar when the low fuel light came on, but the tank only took 4.4 gallons at the pump. So if I still had 2+ gallons in the tank, why is it showing...

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    Thanks very much. It's drivable, so I'll ride it there today. I really appreciate how considerate and helpful this community is. So far that's been the best part of owning a Spyder.

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    If the dealer won't do it tomorrow and it's as simple as you say, I'll give it a try myself. I still have the instructions that came with the bar. Thanks for the info people. I'll update on this tomorrow when I get back.

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    That's very kind of you. I appreciate the offer, and I might take you up on it. Tomorrow I'm riding to the Coyne Powersports dealer about an hour away to have them look at the side panel that came off while riding last week to see if they can replace it under warranty. Should I mention this to...

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    That's beyond my ability. I'm hoping to get some ideas of the problem here before I make a 4 hour round trip to get something fixed that wasn't even an issue. Hopefully.

    Seems like I'll have to. I just wish I didn't live 2 hours away from him.

    I don't understand it either. According to my Gas Cubby app, after my fill up yesterday my average was 22.3 mpg. That's pretty underwhelming. I also switched to the digital fuel and temp gauges in hopes of better accuracy. I lose 1 of the 9 fuel bars after every 15 miles or so. I can't figure it...

    Clunking sounds when turning?

    Here we go again... Does anyone else hear a loud clunking noise when turning the bike left or right? I can even re-create the noise my sitting on it without moving and rocking a little from side to side. I never noticed this before but I just had a BajaRon sway bar put on it by a professional...

    warning sticker advice needed

    Is it just me or does the warning card look like the part that bends is going to tear apart if you use it too often? It's just a bend in the plastic, and you can see the wear and tear on it. I have a similar sticker, but in fact the more you use it the floppier it gets. I put some gorrilla tape...
