• 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.

    Looking into the future of the RT

    :agree: This has to be THE biggest issue for riding comfort that an owner cannot really "modify". Even Lamont used a "cookie sheet" to try to deflect the heat away. I am still befuddled as to why BRP has not addressed this design issue. :banghead: SpyderPops has after market mods to help...

    If you live in Indiana

    Fellow Riders :welcome: There is The Indianapolis Motorcycle Group (IMG) that has info on local riders & rides. They are all not Spyder bikes but a great group to be involved/ride with.

    Blocking both right side vents

    Not sure BRP would agree with you on that one Scotty.... BUT a US court of law might! We just need some guidance from BRP on what kind of mod may void their warranty.

    RT Hitch removal and belt adjustment

    Alignment or Tension??? Are you doing a belt alignment or belt tension? Jacking under the rear shock is a no-no per the maintenance manual. :read: Not too sure why you would go as high as 3rd gear when 1st gear can give you the rotation necessary for determining proper alignment.

    Trailer Flats - Have you had one or more?

    I too use a battery tender. The "battery tenders", if installed correctly, are wired directly to the battery terminals which means the fail-safe is the "in-line fuse" installed in the tender to battery lead. This bypasses all the fuses the bike has. The in-line fuse should be rated less than...

    Trailer Flats - Have you had one or more?

    Compressor Amps vs Accessory Amps Rudy, I think you have been lucky....so far. Most Air pumps are rated for more than 3-amps (see your compressor label). This means IF you need more than 3-amps the compressor WILL call for it and the accessory fuse WILL fail - as designed. See your Owners...

    Trailer Flats - Have you had one or more?

    Pump Info As an FYI....NEVER use the accessory plug in the rear trunk to power your air pump. It is not rated to handle the amperage your air pump uses...you will blow the fuse for the accessory plug.

    Roadster RT TCM Calibration Update 2012-10 (SE5 Models):

    If what Jerbear has stated is true, I doubt it. If one of the reason this update is done is to prevent premature clutch failure than it is unlikely any dealer will "undue" a mandatory update issued by BRP.

    Trailer Flats - Have you had one or more?

    Have you thought of carrying a tire repair kit with pneumatic pump? Its lighter than a spare tire and cheaper too. I think Lamont had a tire blow on his 622 due to a seized bearing. I have Ride-On in my bike but not trailer.....yet.

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    Decals and paint are all 100% after market - True? I wonder if BRP would cover an engine related issue with these "un-authorized modifications" installed? Truth is BRP can deny every single warranty claim until forced thru litigation to do otherwise. Doing so would sour their reputation in...

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    True but only if legally challenged and are required by the court to do so in order to defend a challenge of their warranty language. Remember BRP is the kid with the ball (your warranty) and if he doesn't want to play he will take his ball and leave you on your own to play/pay. Flipside is...

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    What Defines a Modification? This question can ONLY be answered by BRP because they decide how to enforce the language of their warranty of what they consider an "unapproved modification". :bowdown: But the block off plate can be easily removed BEFORE taking your ride to the dealer for...

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    Whether or not the language within the warranty voids the warranty in its entirity is a legal decision to be made by an authority higher than this forum can offer. As an example, our country debates healthcare reform and its legality as it is written. Some argue it is legal while others say...

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    Dealer Obligation Sorry but I respectfully disagree. 1st, If a product is under warranty it is from the manufacturer (BRP) not necessarily the dealer. The manufacturer (not dealer) MUST honor their own warranty. To that end, ANY authorized dealer that can do the work should. They then are...

    Engine Locked Down, BRP Want Cover Under Warranty

    Modifications Void Entire Warranty? I do not think so! :agree::agree::agree: Approaching this from a maintenance background of 30+ years, BRP needs to 1st determine what caused the failure. Did the engine fail due to a faulty NON-MODIFIED part or did it fail as a result of an UNAUTHORIZED...

    Something May Be Coming Down the Spyder Pike!

    Interested in RT Sway Bar Upgrade Here is at least one interested party! I m sure there will be other interested RT owners given the "soft/loose feel" when cornering 2-up. Does anyone know if or what the change is (and why) between the 2010 and the 2012 RT Sway Bars?
