• 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.

    First Spyder ride: impressions

    My recent time on ATVs (along with all I've read here) helped with the Spyder because I already instinctively slide my butt to the inside of the turn. No question I need more seat time, and I will most definitely report back once we receive it and I can get more seat time.

    Hypothesis on 2013 heat issue

    Thanks for all the comments on this folks. Today was delivery day and we bailed on the 2013 purchase and instead wrote an order for a 2014 ST-S SE5 in pearl white. Though there are plenty of owners here reporting no issues I was just too afraid of getting stuck with heat issues, especially in...

    First Spyder ride: impressions

    I went for my first Spyder ride today, about 40 minutes, and thought I'd share my impressions. Background: we had just finished trading in our two Can-Am G2 Outlander ATVs (1000 & 650) on a Spyder for my wife so she can ride with me on the street -- she'd rather rider herself than be a...

    Hypothesis on 2013 heat issue

    On the eve of picking up our 2013 ST-S I have a hypothesis as to what might be causing some 2013 owners to have excessive heat and some not. The "NEW airflow side panel design" puts a triangular shaped vent on either side of the body that looks like it will direct air into the center section...

    I talked with BRP for a rebate for 2013 to 2014

    Wow, this is certainly good to hear, we pick up our new '13 STS on Saturday and I'm worried sick about the heat issue! Hard to understand though how some can have heat issues and some not.

    Protective film for nose

    Aha, that looks like it might be a good option, just mask off the areas I want protected and no problem with the film wrinkling on the compound curves. Anyone tried this?

    Protective film for nose

    About to pick up a new ST-S and was wondering if there is a source for 3M protective film for the lower nose area like they have for most cars these days. That lower painted nose area looks vulnerable. Any pre-cut kits available?

    2013 Heat issue

    You guys are scaring me, we take delivery of my wife's new ST-S SE5 on Saturday. I will still be on my BMW for a while but was planning on a second Spyder for myself next year. I sold a Honda ST1300 a few years ago solely because of heat on the rider, now I hear this is a chronic issue with the...

    Riding Techniques

    Haven't taken delivery of our new ST-S SE5 yet, how much can you let the back step out under power before the VSS kicks in? Before pulling the trigger on the purchase, and not having ridden one, I searched in vain all of the web for info on this and couldn't find anything.

    Retrofit cruise on 2013+ models

    New guy here, ST-S SE5 in magnesium to be picked up next weekend for my wife, I'm still on two wheels. I've spent the last two days searching the forum constantly but will likely need to ask some questions so here comes the first: if one were to order a 2013 or later model (throttle by wire)...
