• 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.

    2020 RT first impressions

    Shawn Smoak has multiple you tube videos about the 2020 RTs. One covers all lack of QC issues. I've heard of some paint issues in addition to the gaps and misfitting pieces, parts.

    2020 RT first impressions

    The Deep Marsala is the last paint color in the rotation. My dealer says it'll be the end of February till they have one. It's still winter here.

    Protect your Spyder from bottoming out!!

    Seems too narrow, even though 3 layers thick, to offer as much protection as any version of a bumpskid to the underside of a Spyder. Am I missing something??????? Mike

    Where's Doc?

    I don't have anything to add to what Ann has said about Doc Humphries. The loss of Kathy(the love of his life) has had a profound affect on him, as it would anyone. As she said "he's taking an extended break from his businesses and focusing on healing". You asked about Bob D. I don't know exact...

    2018 vs 2019

    YES, the 2019 fenders are one piece. I've also heard that it's more difficult to add aftermarket lights to a 2019. More difficult to use plug-n-play feature.

    2020 RT Limited?

    I've "built" an RT Limited in all the colors. Because of the "massive" amount of black plastic all over the new body, Anthraciite/Asphalt Grey is the only color that works well with all of it. No doubt BRP "cheapened the Chrome package(but charge the same$$$); but I like it on this color. Bet...

    2020 RT Limited?

    I think that you'll be disappointed in the side cases. The look bigger from the outside, and have "nice lines"; but the interior size looks to be no bigger than the side cases on your "trusty 14 RT". As much as I'd like the new design, I think there's way too much black plastic all over it...

    2020 RT Limited?

    I'm with you on "the huge amount of black plastic" on the 2020. Because of all the black, I feel the best colors are the Marsala Red Metallic. or the Asphalt Grey. The other issue is how small the interior volume is in the side cases, compared to their exterior size. Looks to be the same...

    2020 RT Test Ride

    Rob, Thanks for your video. BRP makes a big deal that the 2020 is the result of a decade of RT riders' input. However, it has already been documented that they "missed the mark" in some areas(plastic links on the upgraded sway bar). You also brought up some negatives about the 2020...

    BEST Warranty

    I bought my Best warranty within a week of the purchase of my '15 for "peace of mind". This gave me 5 years of coverage until 04/30/2020. Being a low mileage rider because we trailer to destinations, and have a 6-7 month riding season. I've had my Spyder annually serviced every year towards the...

    Can You Get More Than 5 Years Total Warranty On A Spyder

    Thanks fellow Spyder Riders for taking time to answer my inquiry. I am currently doing my due diligence on the one company recommendation I got with the aid of my servicing dealer. My initial impressions are that they are: a. way to pushy to get you to sign up, and b. have a large exclusion...

    Can You Get More Than 5 Years Total Warranty On A Spyder

    I bought my first Spyder('15 RT Limited) in April of 2015. I also bought the Best extended warranty from Bert's Mega Maul( a SL sponsor dealer @the time) for peace of mind. My 5 year warranty period expires 04/30/2020. I have <16,000 miles on my odometer(combination of 6 month riding seasons in...

    2020 RT Limited?

    My '15 RTL's Best Warranty expires on 04/30/2020. My 70 year old legs are telling me to find a new seating position. With the exception of Asphalt Metallic, I need to look at the new colors in person. My wife has vetoed the F3L's passenger perch. Mike

    BEST Warranty

    Like you, I bought my BEST extended warranty for peace of mind, since I was buying my first spyder in April of '15. Today @15,400 miles during the 5th annual service, oil and filter change, the tech told me that I needed my water pump replaced. Thankfully, I have 6 months warranty left. I'll be...

    2020 RT Limited?

    I'm in the same boat as you(happy wife, happy life). Wife not an F3 fan. My situation is complicated by other factors: a. I'm reluctant to be an "early adopter" of first year vehicles. There are always bugs/glitches that went undiscovered by the manufacturer that surface once the vehicle is in...

    Oil change 12 months, YES or NO

    Deanna, I live south of you.The temps here are definitely trending downward, and the daylight is getting shorter. Can't imagine what it's like in Vermont. Got an appointment on Oct. 18th for my '15 RT Limited's "end of season" annual service, and oil change. This will be the last annual service...

    BRP Facebook Event

    BRP Does It Again. A big build up for a disappointing reveal. I admit that there will be many who think the F3-ising of the RT/RTL is "the greatest thing since sliced bread'. Since it's still belt driven and powered by the 1330 Rotax triple, I don't see a compelling reason for me to give up my...
