• 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.

    Does 2014 Spyder RT Need to be started Periodicly when Storing in Cold Garage

    Moisture is not as big of a problem as draining your battery. New hi-tech alloys used in todays engines combined with a good quality oil does a good job maintaining lubrication and eliminating the start of corrosion. Moisture is removed due to higher engine temps and internal engine pressure...

    Does 2014 Spyder RT Need to be started Periodicly when Storing in Cold Garage

    Actually, the required RPM necessary for maintaining a positive charge on the electrical system is 4k due to it being a PMG type system. This is why starting and only idling it is a bad idea. The new engine designed addressed this flaw. -Mike <Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk>

    Does 2014 Spyder RT Need to be started Periodicly when Storing in Cold Garage

    Your dealer sold you a trickle charger appears to have your battery issue covered. I have used Sta-Bil in my system because it comes with an easy "squeeze to measure" bottle.

    Does 2014 Spyder RT Need to be started Periodicly when Storing in Cold Garage

    Not at all....provided you 1.) added fuel stabilizer and ran you bike for about 5-10 mins to make sure it made its way to your injectors. And 2.) have it connected to a battery tender to keep your battery fully charged! I have a 2010 and have never had an issue starting it up in the spring and...

    Tear down observation & question

    I believe there was a BRP Service Bulletin on this for this very reason.

    Looking for tech answers

    Having not personally attended the BRP Tech Program but am well aware of position sensors on hi tech-planes, I can offer this opinion..... a bad sensor can cause faulty error messages for other systems provided those systems rely on that sensor as an input. In essence, bad input equals bad...

    RT Hitch removal and belt adjustment

    Belt Tension Math - Simplified If BRP uses the "newton" as a way of measuring force, then simply multiply the *NEWTONS REQUIRED by 0.224808943 which is ratio of 1-newton to 1-pound. Also, 0.2 is 2/10 which is reduced to 1/5 (i.e. 0.25 is 1/4). A "ball park" estimate, if you have no...

    Spyderfest 2015 Ride Routes

    Zumo 660 Approved? Q1. Will the rides be "ride tested" for GPS accuracy? Q2. And can the routes be uploaded to Garmin Base Camp for installing in the Zumo 660?

    RT Hitch removal and belt adjustment

    Keep in mind: 1st) its just a drive belt for a motorcycle...nothing more than that. 2nd) the "sonic" adjustment can be converted to an applied "pounds" of force. 3rd) BRP has "over complicated" this procedure by "Rube Goldberg"(ing) it.

    Do you know the Radio Shack part number? -Mike <Sent using Tapatalk>

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    14,000 songs at $1.99 each is ALOT of coin! A lifetime subscription to XM (or Pandora) is cheaper! LOL -Mike <Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk>

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    Well the simplest answer is it sounds like a faulty integration cable. With XM and iPhone blue toothed in....not in a big hurry to spend the $$$ for a new one. Thanks Everyone! -Mike <Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk>

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    I didn't know BRP changed the charging circuit to inside the radio (makes sense). When my broken wing is healed I will do just that....thanks Bob! -Mike <Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk>

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    Everything seems to work "as advertised" except for charging. I can see and select different playlist, artists, albums ect but it just does not charge. It just might be a bad charging circuit within the adapter but for $90 to get a new one.....it isn't that big of an issue. The worthless CB...

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    I have a 2010 RTS SE5. I haven't put too much brain power into troubleshooting it due to having XM. -Mike <Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk>

    Does the iPod integration cable charge the iPod while it is in use?

    Bob here is the integration cable I have that DOES NOT charge my iPod. One end plugs into the iPod and the other into the Spyder trunk right side connector. The music, playlist, album...etc all show up on the AUX screen when its selected. It simply will not charge the iPod. Thoughts????
