• 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.

    Brake Failure - C1282 - Fixed!

    I finally corrected the "BRAKE FAILURE" message that's been scrolling across the display on my '08 GS for months.

    Brake Failure - need info

    Hi Gang, I have a 2008 GS with 3400 miles and I got a "Brake Failure" message after work the other day. Brakes feel fine and I was able to ride home.

    Hesitation on hard right turns

    Hi Gang, I have a '08 GS and have noticed lately that the engine stumbles a little when I accelerate hard around a right corner. I never noticed it before, but then I'm slamming corners harder than i used to, since I'm now more used to the way a Spyder handles. Is this normal? Is nanny...

    Gas smell after riding Spyder - Solved!

    I bought my used RS in January of this year, and a few months later started noticing a strong gas smell when I parked it in the garge after a ride. At first, I thought the gas smell might be due to the rising temps here in Phoenix and I even modifed the evap cannister vent tube, believing it was...

    Fuel leak

    Started up my RS tonight since it's been sitting for about a month. After a few minutes, I began to smell gas and noticed fuel dripping from the right side. I pulled the plastics and found the leak was coming from one of the quick-connect fuel line connectors at the top of the tank - the black...

    Anyone near Hot Springs, AR?

    Are there any Spyder Lovers near Hot Springs, AR who would look over a pre-owned Spyder for me? I suspect most owners on this forum have a pretty discerning eye for Spyders and could give me an honest assessment of the condition. Here's the ebay auction...

    Questions re: extended warranty

    Hi again, I've been out kicking tires on pre-owned Spyders and have some questions about BRP's extended warranty. I thought I'd check here before asking a dealer... How long does the ext warranty run? Can I get an ext warranty if the factory warranty has expired? Deductibles? Exclusions? How...

    Hi All, This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while, collecting info before I pull the trigger on buying a Spyder. I kinda have my heart set on a sport model, but could be persuaded to try an RT. If anyone can offer advice to a first time buyer, I'd really appreciate it. I'm looking...
