• 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.

    Ok guys, so here's the challenge for the day...... I was sitting at a light two days ago, and I let up on the brake to drift a little forward and when I stepped back down on it to stop, the pedal went down with almost no pressure, I let up and stepped down again, and it had full pressure...

    Parking Brake..... no meat left?

    I've had to adjust my parking brake 4 times already.... now there seems to be no more thread left for me to tighten it..... now when I push the pedal all the way down to the last click on even the slightest incline the spyder won't stay unless it's in gear. I usually park it in 1st anyway, but...

    Best Online Oil Filter place, what oil is everyone using?

    I'm looking for the best place to get an oil filter as nobody in my area carries it, believe me I tried...... even the local honda/yamaha dealer (very big service dept. too) couldn't find a part number they were sure of...... Would also love to know what oil everyone is using. Thanks!

    FIRST SERVICE -- Many Questions.....

    I don't typically let anyone service my vehicles.... it seems they hire anyone these days who knows how to turn a wrench and the ones that ARE good enough to do the job right have their own businesses doing so and will charge so much that I'd rather do it myself ANYWAY!......... which brings me...

    Timing of 600 mile service......

    I have a tad bit over 600 miles on my spyder now so technically I should stop riding it till I'm on my way to the nearest (200 miles away) authorized BRP dealer to get the first service done........ how picky are they about the mileage on that? If I show up with 800 or 900 miles on it, will...

    12v plug dilemma....

    Ok, so I picked up my spyder, #3489, DE Tag OMFG....... The dealer told me that they didn't have a 12v plug to install and it hadn't come in yet, so he knocked off the installation and part cost of the plug and sent me on my way........ I have the trunk liner...... I decided to take a look at...

    Anyone have a HIGH MILEAGE Spyder yet?

    I'm not talking about 2,000 miles.... I'm talking 10k or over........ has anyone gotten theirs and really just ran the hell out of it? Maybe for business promos, a cross country trip or anything like that?? What kinds of things should the rest of us look for over the life of the vehicle? Anyone?

    Anyone else put down a deposit without seeing it???

    Ok.... I have a confession to make..... last September when I put my deposit down I hadn't even seen a Spyder in person, never sat on one..... nothing..... Now that I've been waiting (in)patiently for 7 1/2 months..... I STILL haven't seen a Spyder in person........ I've been offered the demo...

    So we're over 2500......... anyone know what number it stops at???

    You'd have to guess that BRP knows exactly what number will be their last at this point....... They just HAVE to........ all the orders have been placed, months and months ago..... no way they're clueless...... They might not know who's getting what........ or when they're getting it, but they...

    Parking Brake

    I see in a lot of literature the issue about a passenger possibly hitting the parking brake while underway.... it's also in the safety video. Is that a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo or has anything carrying a passenger had much of an issue with that getting in the way? Has anyone went to the...

    SPYDER FINANCING

    How many of you guys let the dealer figure it out? I understand that even though the Fed keeps lowering rates.... it doesn't make much difference in the rates charged for 'motorcycle' loans. How much did you guys put down or plan on putting down and what kinds of rates are you getting...
