• 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.

    Lost side cover

    On a short ride this afternoon, the engine cover on my wife's 2011 RT blew off on the freeway. By the time we managed to get stopped and walk back, it had been ran over and destroyed. Now for my question. What are my options for getting a replacement? My wife's color is Vegas pearl white. Is...

    parking brake again

    Back on the road! I first tried jumping the Spyder with my truck. All the display came up normally. I could release the park brake. After about 40 minutes of being jumped, it still wouldn't start. When starter button was pressed, a loud clicking could be heard and display flashes on and off. I...

    parking brake again

    I did try a big charger with a "Jump" setting that is supposed to be able to start a car. Same results. Even our local dealer said to try jumping from another vehicle. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks for the replies. Joe in Modesto

    parking brake again

    My wifes 2011 RT has sat for a few months. When I tried to start it, battery was dead. I put a trickle charge on for a couple of days. Battery shows full charges. When I turn key to on, the display just flashes off and on. Will not start. I want to trailer it to dealer, but park brake is set and...

    Replacing the battery on a 2010-2012 RT

    Hello Bob, Thanks for the video. I have spent the last few hours trying to get the battery out of my wifes 2011 RT. I couldn't find her manual, so I wasn't handicapped by that. I got as far as deciding that the side panel must come off. I was stumped by the 2 tamper proof screws on the left...

    Turn signal lamp

    The results are in Took my wifes 2011 RTL back to dealer today for repair of turn signal. It took all of 10 minutes to determine that the connector had come loose. I suggested that it must have came loose when they worked on Spyder's parking brake last week. They replied that it probably just...

    Turn signal lamp

    I finally heard back from BRP customer service today. They want me to take my wife's Spyder back to dealer and have them make a determination of exactly what the problem is and then have them call BRP. So that is where we are at now. May be able to take it in Saturday. I'll keep you all posted...

    Turn signal lamp

    I tried to call customer service, but unfortunately they are on eastern time and closed by the time I get home from work in California. I did fill out the on-line form so hopefully they will respond. The problem popped up after having the parking brake repaired by dealer. I don't see what...

    Turn signal lamp

    I just got off phone with our dealer. He said that the turn signal lamp is indeed a "module" and not covered under warranty. Previous poster was correct, price $113 plus $60 to install. Seems like an awful lot for a turn signal especially since we only have about 6000 miles on spyder. Has any...

    Turn signal lamp

    OK, I can't find my owners manual at this time. Wifes 2011 RT has a bad left front turn signal lamp. Can anyone tell me what lamp # to get, and how to get to it. I don't see any screws at first glance. Joe in Modesto

    Brake failure

    Thanks for the quick responses. While waiting to hear from someone, I actually did a search and found that this is a fairly common problem. I will try all the things suggested. Right now, taking it to dealer is not an option. Spyder is currently my only form of transportation for a week or so...
