• 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.

    BRP Connect App

    Hello, I just purchased a new 2023 Spyder RT Limited. The owner's manual advises one to download the app in order for the iphone to function with the system. I do not see the app listed on the Apple site. Is the app still valid, and, does one actually need it in order to use the iphone with...

    Limp mode and engine stalling, Codes P1172 & P1175 - any ideas?

    Had a beautiful day to go riding, so off I went. Stopped for gas about 30 miles away from home. The bike ran perfectly until about the last ten miles. Then, it felt like it was trying to shift between 4th and 5th because the engine started surging, Next, the Limp Mode light came on and the...

    High beams not coming on when selected or flashed - any ideas?

    2014 ST-S. Today I started the bike and did my "pre-flight" inspection and discovered that the high beam headlights would not come on when hitting the switch to either the high beam or flash settings. The low beams stayed lit in all positions. Started checking and removing all the fuses and...

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Specifically, down-shifting from first to neutral. During my last two rides, I stopped for gas and put my foot on the brake, set the parking brake, then attempted to downshift from first to neutral before shutting off the engine. Wouldn't do it - stayed in first. Tried about 4-5 more times...

    Fog lights not always turning on, not the switch! Any ideas?

    I have recently been having issues with the fog/driving lite option in which they sometimes turn on with the switch and more often, they do not unless I cycle the switch several times. So, I figured maybe the switch was defective and needed replacement. I also have some Tricled ring lites...

    How far up or down in size can I go from 165/55/15 tires?

    Having a difficult time searching online for new front tires. Seems either no one has them or never did. How far can I go either up or down with the 165 or 55 number and find something close?

    Another coolant leak.

    Not certain exactly this one is originating from. I had the water pump assembly replaced in October due to coolant starting to leak from the weep hole. Only got in about 8 rides until I did an oil change on January 15. It was then, I noticed some "staining" on the inside of the right side...

    Horn not working! Anything simple to look for??

    Just realized today that my horn is not working. I don’t see a fuse listed in the owner’s manual or on the fuse box covers. Every other function is working on the bike. Before I get home and start tearing things apart, is there anything simple I could be looking for first? The horn button feels...

    Any ideas on why it's Stalling?? Comments?

    I took my 2014 STS out today for the first time after about 12 days since arriving home from Florida on a family issue. The bike had run ok in FL, except that it did stall out once at idle, but restarted right away. Today, it started up and I got everything ready to go and took off. Got two...

    Oil leak on left side of engine - Troubles continue!

    Should have done this 2 years ago, but having it taken in tomorrow while it is still under the B.E.S.T. warranty. On every oil change since new, there has always been a few oil drops hanging off the bottom of the rubber shift boot. Additionally, there was oil staining on the inside of the left...

    Thermostat replacement on the 998 engine

    Out of curiosity, has anyone replaced the thermostat unit on the 998? If so, why did you do it or how did you decide or determine that it was necessary? Also, was it less or more messy than a radiator/coolant drain and refill? My 2014 STS has always and consistently indicated 4 bars on the...

    My state inspection experience - just a rant

    As many have done, my Spyder has several extra lighting additions, from safety and visibility improvements. These include upgrades and improvements on brake lighting, marker lighting, turn signals, etc. Today, I visited my local inspection station with the Spyder. The bike, and my other...

    Any tips on Changing the spark plugs/wires?

    I have recently purchased new plugs and wires from Baja Ron. Now comes the fun part - actually replacing them. Other than enough beers and appropriate cuss words, any words of wisdom or advice before I actually start the job? I understand one of the plugs is a chore to get to. This will be...

    Tense ride this evening....... Coolant Leak!

    Decided to take an evening ride today as the humidity had dropped and it felt rather nice. I got about 15 miles from the house and came to a stop at a traffic lite. Thought I caught a slight whiff of engine coolant, but didn't think much of it as I had always detected such an odor from other...

    General headlamp bulb question

    Having just replaced my 4th headlight bulb in 3-1/2 years at 44K miles, I was curious as to what might primarily contribute to bulb failures as a whole. 1 - Cheap bulbs 2 - Total hours of bulb life (whether riding or performing work on the bike) 3 - Total miles ridden (as opposed to idling in...

    Temperature gauge question

    For three straight years and approximately 37,500 miles, the Spyder has consistently displayed 4 bars on the temperature gauge after it has fully warmed up, no matter what the ambient temperature has been. Today, it started fluctuating randomly between 3 and 4 bars. The 3 bar display appeared...

    Power steering question

    If the power steering unit was starting to malfunction, would it throw any codes? Yesterday, had been out riding about 5 hours and was getting tired, so I started off home. It was also a somewhat windy day. A few of my turns felt very “hard”, about 5 or 6 during the hour ride home. Similar to...
