• 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.

    Akropovic exhaust and CAT replacement

    I have am ST SM5, I have a Cat Eliminator with Akrapovic, without the baffles you get a little popping on decal, and a bit of improvement on throttle response and performance, and fuel consumption seems to be the same as before the changes, although, to be honest fuel consumption isn't a...

    Is a tune required...???

    It was a while ago, and I can't remember if I was told or read somewhere, that there are 2 reasons why you should let your Spyder idle only for about 15 minutes after installing the Hindle, One is to help to cure/seal the internals of the muffler, and the other is, it gives your Spyders computer...

    Modifying stock ST exhaust

    Modifying stock ST exhaust

    Realistically, unless you get rid of the Cat you are going to struggle to change the tone etc a lot. I have Cat Eliminator with an Akrapovic, I removed the baffles from the Akrapovic, and after a few weeks I put them back in as it was too loud, especially on a trip. Now with the baffles back in...

    Complaint Forum

    I really can't see the point of a Complaint Forum here or anywhere else. As we all know, BRP and dealers check out most sites. So realistically how helpful do you think they will be if you bag them on a Public Forum??

    Which hand grips fit the ST-S

    I have never had that problem with mine. Possibly similar grips do this.

    Which hand grips fit the ST-S

    I use Grip Puppies, they are a good quality sponge grip that slides over your existing grips. You just wet the inside of them with soapy water and eventually after some pushing and shoving, and possibly the odd expletive they are on. I like them as they make the grip a little bigger for someone...

    oem fox podium shock upgrade with a baja ron bar?

    I have the fox shocks with stock swaybar, but mainly ride solo, I am very happy with the handling. But you also need to keep in mind that the shocks and swaybar do 2 different jobs, so you need to work out what you want your Spyder to do better, and take the option of swaybar or shocks to get it...

    A one month delay in delivery!!

    Im sure they do, but unfortunately our market is nowhere as big as USA and Canada Market so they make sure that their main customer base is covered before sending the newer models down here. Also non USA/Canada models have slightly different manufacturing specs, ie.. fitting rear indicators...

    Spyder Oil Stick Reads ADD

    It tells you on the side of your oil tank, the recommended oil to use, and if you can't get the recommended oil, call your dealer to get advice on an alternative. And as others have said, read your manual and check the oil as per the instructions.

    A one month delay in delivery!!

    Annoyed I have just found out that the F3 wont be arriving in New Zealand until the middle of next year :gaah: So that's around 9 months after the release in US, pretty frustrating to say the least. I get that there is probably a high demand for them and Im sure it is worth the wait, I am...

    What other Upgrades on the 2015 RT Limited

    From what I have read and heard, it is all pretty much cosmetic, not a lot different from 2014, which makes sense, as they seem to have got it right on the 2014

    At a guess, 3-4k more than an F3S

    Not a big fan of Black either, but the other colours don't do it for me. So I have already started thinking about some graphics etc... I can get away for about 1 week of travelling using the storage in my ST, although less storage is not ideal, I still want an F3 and I am going to be hanging out...

    Error Code Check Engine....not happy

    You may not necessarily need to replace the throttle body, I had a similar problem, and it turned out one of the butterflies in the throttle body was almost permanently closed, it made it idle erratically or not at all, and after a while it would give me the Orange Check Engine Screen. Once my...
