• 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.

    Any Update to the Update Yet?

    I am not offended at all. I have been riding some sort of wheeled vehicle for more than 35 years. Unfortunately not year round but I have racked up more than my share of miles. When I looked at the Spyder I was a little apprehensive about the electronics, I am more of a "V-8 and a four barrel"...

    I won't go into a monologue about stats, it is pretty boring, but if we WERE a represenatative sample then we can assume that 40% of ALL owners should be experiencing problems. Do you feel that is a fair number? I am sorry I don't. The people who use the web for information purposes like this...

    1st ride since software update!!

    :agree: This seems to come up often "My spyder doesn't run well at 3,000 rpm in 5th gear". It isn't supposed to. My other Vee Twin (Victory Vegas) has a lot of torque and will pull from almost any rpm. It's redline is short of 6,000 rpm though. The Rotax makes it's power at 5,000 and above. Mine...

    Any Update to the Update Yet?

    One of the interesting things about the Spyder is that it is bringing in a new class of rider. Maybe a little older and not as likely to be mechanically oriented. When problems arise thay are definately relying on their dealer to take care of the issues and just want it fixed. I totally...

    Any Update to the Update Yet?

    I agree with dltang. When I bought my Spyder three months ago I knew I was in uncharted territory. No matter how many miles you put on pre-production machines until there are some on the road, in real world situations, the bugs may not show themselves. Particularly when you have a new...

    SE5 creeps from a stop

    Again, your service department should be aware after viewing the webcast. If not have them look at it again. Mine works perfectly now.

    SE5 creeps from a stop

    What I find is that when I initially come to a stop the tranny stays in a forward gear so that just removing your foot from the brake allows you to slowly move forward. After a few seconds the system seems to be aware that you are at a more permanent stop and switches to a neutral position...

    SE5 creeps from a stop

    Call your dealer. In the recent webcast they addressed this issue and it involves a clutch adjustment. My SE did the same thing. Sometimes it went into a "neutral" feel at stop other times it wanted to take off. Had the adjustment and all is good.

    Steering Recall Webcast Aug 25

    Nothing earth shattering in the webcast from what I understand. The tech I talked to said that when problems come up initially it is the front line techs that are realizing the issues, and do alot of the work to find the solution. Then the engineers at BRP research and come out with the "this is...

    Potential Buyer - Time to Stay Clear of a Spyder

    In addition to the new Spyder I have a Victory motorcycle. There is a particular website that I hang out on and occasionally it gets a little PMS. One post leads to alot of name calling and gets off topic very quickly. As Spyder owners we need to remember that others will have alot of questions...

    Sway Bar and Leo Vince

    Just starting the money pit with the new spyder and have to give thanks to Ken at Evoluzione for the Leo Vince Carbon exhaust and the sway bar. The exhaust has an awesome tone and the sway bar is a must have in my opinion. The handling is significantly improved. Now time to save up for the...

    Thinking of getting Leo Vince Exhaust... any suggestions?

    Call Ken. I ordered a carbon fibre last week. I believe that Leo Vince makes them specially for Evoluzione. He is great to deal with and I can't wait to get the pipe on my bike!!
