• 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.

    Washing a Spyder?

    Mother nature doesn't play by any rules and they seem to do just fine in the rain. If you're concerned, only put water where you think it needs it.

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    No friends with truck and trailer? Sure it will cost you gas and a 12 pack.......but hey! Make arrangements to take it in on a day off and pick it up on the following day off (if parts aren't needed). Most good dealers will work with you.

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    Words of wisdom. Don't do what I did and hope somehow your current dealer and tech are going to change. They aren't.....not now, and likely no time soon. Ask around, find who others are using, even if it means towing your Spyder there. One long trip will likely save you months of frustration...

    Done with Spyder

    I know your frustration. I went through it for over 2 years. December 2015 to April 2018. So long, that my BEST warranty ran out. So much for that purchase. If you're not willing to slog it out, and perhaps spend a lot of cash, plus deal with the frustration and incompetency of both BRP(they...

    Free runnin Dogs!

    This is going to sound cruel but it won't hurt if diluted, it'll only be a shocker. Get yourself a water pistol and add 95% water and 5% bleach. Don't aim for their eyes aim for their nose. GrandPappy taught me that over 60 years ago when I delivered papers on my bicycle.

    Local Harley dealer closing

    One would almost certainly think they looked at selling. It may not have been publicly offered. Just a hunch. The dealer in Storm Lake sounds like the Original Spyder dealer in Missouri. When you get the right people to run, and support a business, BOOM!

    Local Harley dealer closing

    Many are still struggling, and have done so since the financial collapse over 10 yrs ago. Looking at the history of this particular dealer, he opened his doors just over 10 years ago. A tough time to start any business but if you do and succeed, you learn a lot. Most likely they got tired of...

    Fuel octane explained.

    Highest octane available and Top Tier if available. In my bikes and car.

    Not matter of if but when

    Doesn't work that way anymore. No dealer who watches cash flow will stock parts for so many different bikes. In many instances you'll be lucky if they stock push pins.

    MY F3s Spyder only did 169 mile with one bar left, is this normal?

    :agree: If you really want to get a feel for your overall mileage, log your miles and gallons used over a thousand miles of riding. Then you'll get a good picture of actual MPG. Which will come in very handy when on a trip and stations are few, and far between.

    The Elephant in My Room

    Pre 2014 there were several reports of on the road breakdowns. One in particular that flashes in my memory required the owner to rent a car, go home, and return at a later date to pick up his Spyder. Truth is, if a breakdown were to occur, that required a Spyder dealer, and parts, to facilitate...
