• 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.

    Computer reset on startup

    If you are competent with a multimeter there are a few checks you can do (once you have checked the connections) that will give you an idea of the bikes electrical health. 1. Check battery voltage with the key off - should be at least 12.6 volts, if not get the battery charged. 2. Check...

    BRP Certification

    MMI has two schools. One in Phoenix and one in Kissimmee. When I first showed up at Kissimmee there were a couple of Spyders in the equipment lot but for whatever reason they must not have been able to work anything out with Can Am. MMI does have agreements with and provides factory training...

    how people from europe see us

    In the early 70s TP on the German trains was really bad. And there was a shortage on TP in the supply system so most of us bought our own from the PX. Never had to ask where someone was headed when you passed them in the hall. And you might forget your hat in the latrine, but you always made...

    Archoil AR9100 friction modifier

    I agree with Highwayman. I would be leery of putting any additives in motorcycle oil. The manufacturers say to use oils of a certain specification for a reason.

    Look up the Moss Magnuson Act. They cannot deny warranty just because you installed LED lights. They have to be able to prove that a modification was the cause of the issue. You may want to check to see if your state has any kind of consumer rights office.

    ROAD-TRIP AMERICA

    You could easily hit a beach in Florida. 4-5 days isn't enough to do an easy ride to Key West and back, but there are other areas with nice scenery and weather. Or if you are more into mountains, head north on back roads and take the time to enjoy the ride. Obviously the Gatlinburg, Pigen...

    Something odd

    I have heard that, but never had any problems going from dino to synthetic. At times, based upon what oil was available in a small market I have had to go from synthetic back to dino. Never noticed any adverse effects from switching either way.

    Charging voltage

    The tender won't be on your bike. A connector may be, if the dealer or previous owner put one on. Try a google search using the term "battery tender site:spyderlovers.com" (don't use the quotes) will take you to the several threads that have been written on the subject. Some use a fairly...

    You may want to contact the general manager of the dealership as well, the service manager may be making statements without the general manager's knowledge. The "1 hour" statement is BS and I am sure that BRP would want to know about it.

    Battery life???

    The battery always comes with instructions for activating. You need to have a charger that will supply the correct amperage. I have a Genius 3500 that works well for that.

    Battery life???

    If the bike is mechanically sound, the biggest killer of batteries is failure to properly activate one. When you purchased the battery, did they pull it off a shelf and get you on your way quickly? Did the dealer check your bike to ensure that it was charging before installing the new battery?

    I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Rescue-Ultra-Start-Pack/dp/B00LLH8Q5C. I bought it when I was working at a dealership, I was skeptical about them when I first saw them but a customer bought one and came back the next day telling us how he had jumped a diesel truck with it for...
