• 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.

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    After my catastrophic call with Natacha, I sent a message through BRP website. And I received an answer (copy/paste answer #26):..." We are sorry... your case is under review by a "senior agent" (??) blah, blah, stay in contact with your dealer... blah, blah" Basically: nothing is happening, too...

    Just tried to speak to a Natacha at BRP... refused to offer any help, pass me to a supervisor. Maybe it is time to lawyer up???

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Got some news by text, out of the country for 4 days; I should be happy to be always right but I think this is the end of my RT: as I said it before the chance of any vehicle being OK after an harness change is slim at best and with something as complicated as a Spyder chances are close to 0%...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Thks for your post... Who is "your guy" in the shop: Mike, Nick or Josh ? As now I am alternating between Josh & Nick and things are smoother. I like the idea of trading (really like the dark grey one and, specially, the new dashboard). On which base did you negotiate the sell of your old one...

    Light in the tunnel??? Finally a good news... BRP is changing the harness FOC, work and part(s). Lets hope it will solve the problem(s)! I am just adding ($49.57) a cam chain tensioner as it seems my sound diagnostic was the right one. Let's wait and see what's happening!!

    Trailers collection... After talking to the dealer & BRP...dealer was nice enough to come and p-up my RT... Now they will try changing the wires harness... Not sure if I should go for this, buy a new one or forget about having a Spyder... A nice Goldwing with a big sidecar looks better and...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Pete... don’t get me wrong: I like obsessions like anyone... this problem has happened before (2 months at the Phoenix dealer last year, during the shock absorber deal and after. I love this dealer bashing (but, oh no, don’t say anything bad about the beloved bike!) but if they are not provided...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Well.... 2 weeks, over $2000... and limp home from the dealer to home!!! Usual codes: C0063, C006C, U0073, U0155, U0122.... nothing changed in spite of all the parts changed!!! I do not want to jump to any conclusions, but what a POS @ 29000 miles!!!

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    When I talked to BRP, even choosing French to sound more "local", the young lady just told me that the dealer did escalate the request within BRP...end of the story! Rugged or not the VCM can have a "dry" weld in one of the circuit or have been badly put together 4 years ago. When a vehicle has...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Things are moving Looks like even at BRP they do not agree on the causes/effects... so dealer decided to choose one of the solution (the wire loom tested OK for him): the VCM will be changed. In between the 2.1/2 hours of testing, the VCM and the 5 hours of work...$1800!! Dealer is trying to...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Today's new... " can we bill you another 1/2 hour to wire the VCM directly (to the battery??) to make sure it either the VCM or the wire loom..." Basically 10 days in the shop and still no clue!! Looking now for the BRP customer service...any contacts there? Edit...just called the general line...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Some news So it looks like the problem can be in 2 places: the VCM or a wire in the wiring loom... both of them are expensive and I must admit I have no trust in changing the entire wiring.... too much work to be done perfectly. Dealer is talking with BRP, testing here and there and at a...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Last time my RT was at the RN Phoenix, they did not find the problem for 2 months, broke a mirror spring and finally took it to Peoria... half of the body bolts were not fixed and they lied about it during all the time. Peoria at least has a Gold certified mechanic... last time he installed the...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    Still do not know!! So..I see that my friend UtahPete told every one here about my ordeal in Winslow AZ. It started the day before: twice I got the dreaded Limp mode. Took the key off, waited some time and it started again... Being a good catholic boy I said: "I must has touched the brake while...
