• 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.

    Spyder Service Manual

    Got mine online for about $20.00 with shipping. Included a disc with the manual as well as another that was a video for technicians. I thought it was a great deal and prefer having the disc version as you can print out the sheets that you need.

    Big up to Carlo@BRP, he got my DPS busted spyder back for me

    Hey Carlo Hopefully you are looking at this thread. Several weeks ago we talked on the phone and you mentioned that there was a forthcoming announcement from BRP regarding the steering issues that a few of us have had. You also suggested that the info would be passed on via websites like this...

    Hello, you guys are making me nervous

    I am one of the few that had an experience with the steering and after talking to BRP many times I am confident an actual cause is going to be discovered for all. It feels like everyone has problems if you hang on this forum sometimes but the hard stats are the numbers with issues are no more...

    new muffler or no new muffler

    This is a great sounding pipe, and quality is top notch. Give Ken at Evoluzione a call.

    SE5 Downshifting to 1st is rough

    I agree about the second update. My auto downshifts are much smoother,particularly to first. There seems to be much less of a throttle blip as well. Very happy I had the update done.

    Official BRP Statement on Spyder DPS

    I talked to Carlo this week and BRP is definately taking this seriously, as they should. In some cases the factory tech was at the dealer before the dealer had a chance to get to it. I think sending techs to the bikes is a wonderful idea and hopefully a definate answer is around the corner.

    Limp Mode

    I am waiting to hear from Carlo because in our first conversation he was surprised that the limp mode activated in my situation and thought it had been adjusted in the first download, so it can be changed.

    Limp Mode

    As I mentioned in the first post since the replacement of the sensor all is good as far as the steering goes. I consider it fixed and so there is no electrical problem to diagnose unless you think the sensor failure should not have set off the limp mode. That is what I am trying to determine...

    Limp Mode

    I agree that technology is hard to get away from and it is, in fact, one of the reasons I bought the Spyder. Recently, on a trip in nasty conditions the VSS helped on a couple of hydroplanes that would have been more than a handful on my bike. Before I could make the adjustments the system did...

    Limp Mode

    Unfortunately this is true in my case. At highway speed my steering lead me into the other lane and then the limp mode kicked in. This is the reason for my post. I can handle the steering but the loss of power at speed could have been a disaster. I am trying to understand when the limp mode is...

    Limp Mode

    Anyone....Anyone??? OK how about this. Did anyone else with a steering issue experience a limp mode response or am I alone??

    Limp Mode

    Does anyone know exactly under what circumstances the limp mode is supposed to engage? I had a nasty steering experience and to add to it the limp mode kicked in at highway speed. It happened just after my first update and both BRP and my dealer were right on it. It turned out to be a bad yaw...

    DPS Problems, We Can No Longer Ignore "The Elephant In The Living Room"

    While my loss of steering episode was pretty dramatic, what worries me the most is the limp mode. When my steering decided to move me into the next lane I could handle that. Losing power in traffic at 90 KPH however, is a very bad thing.

    Anyone Know the Longevity/Durability of the Rotax V Twin?

    75 % of the worlds light aircraft and ultralights have Rotax motors. Not the same motor that we have of course, but that would certainly suggest that people who can't exactly pull over to the side of the road find them durable.

    Any Update to the Update Yet?

    This is also my point. If the update was bad why are we not ALL affected? Can't be a bad component because nothing but information is being installed. My dealer has done quite a few with NO problems related to the update. Yes, the update identified some faulty DPS units but didn't CAUSE the problem.
