• 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.

    fog light switch

    The Headlight on the right side of my 2016 RT LTD. also went out, and I just had both replaced. I figured if the right one failed, the left one was soon ready to faill, as the head lights remain on all of the time. My Fog Light Switch was also just replaced, the 2nd time, under Waurentee. The...

    Soon to be owner needs some advice

    Here’s my 2 cents opinion. Obviously, I would need to know the price difference between the 2015 and 2018 RT Limited. But if the mileage was 30,000 or less, on the 2015, I’d go for the 2015. I much prefer the portable, detacheable, Garmon GPS on the 2015. Also, I much prefer the Analog Fuel and...

    Much rather change spark plugs on the Ryker than a f3

    I always ride Solo. I like to go where I want, when I want to, and have about 6 different Loops I always ride, lastiig from one hour to 3 hours, shortest 60 miles, longest, 135 miles. I have been riding those same Loops for the last 8 years, and between my two Spyders, and my occassional Harley...

    Much rather change spark plugs on the Ryker than a f3

    I just got my 2016 RT Limited back from being serviced by my Dealer yesterday, ( Virgil Naff Kawasaki, in Lynchburg, Virginia.). I had the Spark Plugs replaced, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Transmission Filter, both head light bulbs, ( one was out, so I had both replaced), , and had my Fog Light...

    B.E.S.T. Warranty

    I got the same price Quote from Sierra , i.e. THREE years, @ $671. Bert’s was higher. my preferred Dealer didn’t seem interested in getting in to the competitive quoting game, so never quoted their price after I asked. So, looks like I will go with Sierra if I decide to do it, but I have not...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    I haven’t bought it yet, as I have until mid Sept. to decide. I am having a hard time deciding. At the lowest price quoted for the 3 year Policy, I could buy 2 sets of Tires, installed, or 3 Oil and Filter changes and a Battery thrown in, or Brake Pads, and lots of other non covered wearable...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Dave, no, you can not buy the B.E.S.T. Warranty once your initial Factory Waurentee has expiried. ( to my knowledge). But there may be other After Market Warranties vailable, but as shown in this Thread, good luck with any of them! 007James

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Thanks for responding Ann. ( My Wife’s Name is Ann, BTW, but she’d smack me if I called her a Spyder. HaHa. How much did you sell your Spyder for, when it had 118,000 miles on it? I have always wondered Who, or what Companies buy high mileage Spyders. I have suspected they might be bought by...

    Price of extended warranty...

    Are all BRP Dealers obligated to sell BEST Xtended Waurentees, and are they required to Servce BEST Waurentee Claims, or what if they are not interested in selling low profit BEST Insurance, and are also not interested in the hassles of working the low Margin profit returns on BEST parts and...

    Price of extended warranty...

    Deanna,. I am curious if you ever used your Xtended Waurentee, and if so, on what, and was the work done from the Dealer you bought it from, or another Dealer? Thanks, 007James

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    WOW!! That is powerful, and almost enough to convince me to go for the 3 year BEST. But I agree that the Dealer handling the Claim makes all the diffence, and has to have the inside favorable connections with BRP to get every thing handled honestly. But BRP going for a complete new engine gives...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Left, what was the mileage at the DESS failure, and was it replaced by BRP Factory Waurentee, or BEST Extended Waurentee? How long did it take gor BRP to approve, and did the Dealer do the negociations for you, and was it the Dealer you bought the Spyder from? Thanks.

    What oil do you use on your Spyder?

    I have used Full Synthetic Mobil One 10W-40 4T Motorcycle Racing Oil since my 3000 first Service. Doc Humphrey used it in his 2014 RT, so I followed his choice. I don’t care about the cost of the oil, considering 10,000 miles between oil changes. But the Reviews on this Oil are excellent, and it...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Great Response! A real lot to think about there. I really was favoring buying the Western Service 5 year Extended Waurentee, until I found these reviews on the Internet. But the B.E.S.T. Negative reviews are absent, at least as far as refusals ,or rejected Claims are concerned, but the fine...

    How many Owners buy the B.E.S.T. Spyder Extended Waurentee Insurance?

    Hi All, I have 6 months left on my BRP Factory Waurentee, and keep changing my mind on whether to Purchase the B.E.S.T. Three year Extended Waurentee or not. I have read the Threads that I can find here, but can not make up my mind. I have read the small print on the BEST Contract, about...

    Ryker Issue Alert!

    I really believe BRP will eventually take care of this problem. Its too serious to keep ignoring, considering the 20 Units per Dealer, plus the Ten Grand Display they forced each of their Dealers to invest in , in order to remain a Dealer. But considering they have had this Alighnment problem...

    No Compressor Included on 2018 RT LTDs?

    WOW! What a Night Mare! I would never have the patience to tackle that Job. No wonder its so expensive to replace. Thanks for this Video.

    No Compressor Included on 2018 RT LTDs?

    Yes, there have always been issues on the Compressors, if you search the treads that are scattered. I remember discussions about how cheap the OEM Compressers were, and some members replaced the OEMs with beefed up compressors, that had to be custom fitted. The Compressor went on my 2012 RT...
