• 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.

    Salvage 2008 GS with NO keys - what's the solution?

    Hey all - I'm trying to help a fellow who is getting an insanely low mileage 2008 GS SM5 (only 4500km, 2800 miles) back on the road. It's a long story, but he's now the legit owner and has done quite a few repairs on it. However, he got it with NO keys. He purchased a new lock cylinder, and he...

    08 GS SM5 stuck in gear, code P0730 - easy to replace sensor?

    Hey all - I'm helping a friend with his 2008. Incidentally, it's the 54'th Spyder ever off the BRP line with the special stickers on the handlebar and VIN number to prove it. Anyhow, he had some codes so brought over my BUDS to scan and see what was going on. Codes turned out to be DPS...

    Buds V1 (2008 GS) flashing modules with updated software - how?

    Hey all. Recently bought a gently used 2008 GS for my wife. Since I do pretty much all my maintenance and such I bought my own BRP diagnostic box and am all setup with BUDS and BUDS2. The first thing that irked me was that the cluster was in French (unit was bought in Quebec) and...

    Admins - can we get the multi-quote feature turned on?

    Hey Admin team! I'm quite familiar with VBulletin and I know it has a multi-quote feature where you can read through a thread and select multiple members posts in a thread to do a multi-quote reply. The feature is disabled here, so the only way to quote multiple people in a single...

    Is there a seating position chart?

    Hey all - as per another thread here, I'm on the hunt for a 2010-2014'ish (based on the budget) Spyder. Ideally looking for an RT, but considering others. Seating angle will be a big thing as she has shoulder problems. Unfortunately in the 2008-2015 year range it seems like there's a...

    Pre purchase on a 2011 RT - Guide me along here please!

    Heya all. My wife is looking to go from 2 wheels to 3 wheels. I've found a 2011 RT manual a few hours from me that I'm considering going to see tomorrow. It isn't perfect but the seller has been very upfront about things, and it is priced appropriately. I'm somewhat familiar with Spyders...
