• 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.

    Dealer Won't Install Car Tires

    Okay it's everybody's favorite, another tire thread. So I do my research and finally decide on a new rear tire, the Altimax by General. Call dealer to ask if I can have it shipped directly to them and they tell they won't install a car tire on a Spyder. That BRP is saying the harder tires don't...

    How often should we change the brake fluid?

    Okay I'm no mechanic. Don't even change my own oil but I do believe in preventive maintenance. Did I read here we should be changing out the brake fluid every so often?

    Are Car Tires Too Stiff?

    Hey sorry if this is redundant but I'm looking at a rear tire for my 08 GS. Kumho Ecsta AST KU25 All-Season Tire - 225/50R15 91H The sizes are right but does anyone know how a tire rated for 1350 lbs will perform on a 700 lb Spyder? Dealer is saying car tires are too stiff for a Spyder and...

    Back again...

    Many of you may remember my story. Left New England for Florida. Bought a new RT while we were living in the south. Sold it when we moved back to Maine but then started really missing my Spyder. Bought a single owner original year 2008 GS that had been absolutely babied. Best thing I've ever...

    2008 ECU

    Anyone have any experience replacing the ECU on an 08? Specifically wondering if there's a place to buy used or after market parts. I'm told the ECUs rarely fail so I'd be tempted to go used if I could find one.

    2008 ECU

    Ok guys need some help here. 2008 GS, low miles only around 17,000. Suddenly lost power and went into limp mode even though the 08 doesn't call it limp mode. Took it to dealer and they have eliminated everything down to the ECU (computer). $500 plus for the ECU new. Dealer is telling me...

    BRP are you listening?

    Okay how do I say all this without sounding like a complainer? In my opinion it seems like the more enhancements BRP tries to make the further they get from their roots. I had an 11 RT and now have an original 08 GS so I feel somewhat qualified to make that statement. Granted, the three...

    08 squeaky brakes

    Not complaining. Love my 08 GS. But the brakes squeak to a point where it's almost embarrassing. Dealer says it's unique to the 08s and that it's nothing to worry about. But does anyone know a way to quiet down these brakes?

    In-laws

    So my sister and brother in-law have been here since Friday. Three glorious riding days and the Spyder has just been sitting in the driveway with the cover on. It would be total and absolute marriage suicide to even uncover it so there it sits. Can anyone feel my pain?

    GS handlebar setback options

    I just bought an 08 GS. Am told the handlebars have been set back but I'd like them back even more. Ideally so I'm able to sit without leaning forward at all like an RT. Is that doable?

    Back in the saddle!

    Well after a year and a half of being Spyderless I'm happy to report that I'm within a day or two of getting my next ryde! This one'll be a yellow and black 08 GS and it's a real beaut. :yes::yes: So I'll be back on here more often now asking silly questions that only a guy with no...

    Helmet holders

    My RT had little clips under the seat to lock your helmet to. Can anyone tell me if the 2008 GS has them?

    Wasn't 09 the first year for the paddle shifter?

    Okay as some of you know my business went into a tailspin which forced me to sell my dearly beloved. My RT - not my wife - for those of you wondering. Well as you can imagine, life without a Spyder has been really painful. I'm looking at a used GS. Low miles. Looks and runs like new. I'm being...

    Is Dave still posting Dave and Ted's Most Excellent Adventures?

    Hey everyone. Haven't been on for a year or so. See most of the usual suspects are still here so that's good. Don't see anything from Dave and Ted though. Have we seen anything from them lately?

    It's 2015 - no Bluetooth?

    I'm just posting this hoping that BRP is scanning these threads. I can understand the early model years not having Bluetooth but c'mon guys - it's 2015. Hardwiring iPods and mp3 players is so 2008.

    Does ECO mode actually effect throttling?

    Is the ECO mode on the 14s nothing more than a reminder on the screen? Seems like I read somewhere that it actually affects throttling. Is that true?
