• 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 RTS - Test Ride

    Wife and I decided to take a test ride on the new 2014 RTS. Local dealer had a white one available for a test ride. Started out and about a mile into the ride we started to hear a clicking noise. Figured something was loose and flopping around (side panel, etc). I got louder and louder...

    Belt Adjustment Problem

    I adjusted my belt tonight to be in spec as it was running towards the outside of the rear sprocket. After doing so the rear brake now squeaks very loud in reverse and squeaks a bit when going forward when I press the pedal. I can adjust it towards the middle of the sprocket and the squeal...

    Cost to Replace Bearings in Rear Wheel

    I removed my rear wheel and replaced the tire and decided to try and replace the bearings in the rear wheel. Half way through I decided it would be best to have my dealer do the bearings. The dealer just called and said it's all done and the bill is $130. Keep in mind I took them the wheel...

    Rear Tire Options

    I am looking for rear tire options others have tried. I found a few searching on this site but not much in the way of feedback. At 18K miles my 3rd tire is toast. The first 2 were stock tires and the last one was a Toyo. All lasted about 6K miles. The Toyo was lighter by 2Lbs, had similar...

    Belt Tension & Blown Seals

    For those that have not changed your belt tension to the new recommended setting I would highly recommend it. I heard about the new recommended tension and asked my dealer and was told it was only for new Spyders as part of the pre-delivery setup. A few weeks later I started hearing a...

    Surging, Juicebox, and O2 sensors...

    When I first got my Spyder almost 2 years (16K miles) ago it had an irratic idle and surged at any RPM. Trying to get any of the local dealers to help was almost impossible. So, I decided to go with the Evolution O2 modifier, race intake and fule pressure regulator. All I can say is the...

    Exhaust Gaskets

    I have an exhaust leak on the front right. I have read post indicating this is a known issue but dealer states it's a wearable item and I must pay to have it replaced. Anyone else have this covered under warranty?

    New Tire Results - Toyo

    Just installed the new Toyo tire since neither of the local dealers were willing. Removing the rim/tire and replacing was fairly simple once you have the correct tools (36MM sockets). First thing I did was weigh the tires side by side. The new Toyo weighed 16.2Lbs and the bald stock weighed...

    Rear tire worn on one side only!

    I just noticed that the tread on the left side of the rear tire is significantly more worn that the right side. I noticed my belt has not been tracking properly either. It seems to move around a lot. I believe this started happening after my dealer installed my new rear about 6k miles ago...

    Changing Rear Tire

    I can't find a dealer local that will install and aftermarket rear tire on my Spyder so I'm going to attempt myself. Can anyone in the know post the steps involved in removing the rear tire? I just purchased a 36MM socket and was wondering if there is anything else I need to be aware of? I...

    Purge Valve - Permanent Fix

    If we plug the hose and problem is solved. What is the permanent fix for this issue? My dealer is not going to know what to do so going to them is of no use.

    Juicebox Issues

    I am having problems getting the Spyder to run properly with the juicebox. The idle is not smooth, it backfires occasionally for no reason and will actually cutout from time to time when I let off after full throttle operation. I thought this was a bad juicebox so I sent it back to them and the...

    BRP Oil - Summer vs Winter

    BRP now has semi-synthetic for the summer and full-synthetic for the winter. I did not see a weight listed on either can which is strange. Even though it is summer I opted for the winter stuff due to it being synthetic. Did I make a mistake? Does anyone know the weight of the oil or know if it...

    Making the Spyder even more Stable

    I had an idea for making the Spyder more stable but since I'm not an engineer I thought I would run it by everyone. What if we attached wheels near the rear axle that extended out kinda like training wheels. They could be say 1/2" above the ground. When you dive into a corner the wheels...

    Best Touring Shield for Risers or Large Riders

    I'm trying to decide between a couple touring shields. I'm 5' 11" and currently have the F1 Slider after owning the Calsci Medium. The Slider has been the best so far but it's not the best solution for someone with risers and my height. I have been struggling between the CHAD and F1 Queen...

    Headlight Problems

    When I am sitting or going slower than say 15MPH the low beams work fine. When I speed up the left beam goes out and the right one gets stronger as I power up. I can let off the throttle and coast at 30MPH and the beam still stays off. High beams are fine.... I have checked for loose wires...

    Passenger Arm Rest

    Anyone think of putting on an arm rest for passenger? I'm looking at the BRP Backrest thinking there must be a way to use the bolts on the rest to attach moveable arm rests like they have in cars.

    After draining the oil today I put 4 quarts in before starting it. The manual says put in 3 then run for 3 minutes. Any idea why they tell you that? All 4 seemed to fit in the tank....
