• 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.

    Anyone got any Additional Security for their Top Case??

    I do not feel the lock on the top case is secure enough. I've lined it up where it locks fine, but it's more of a deterrent IMO. Has anyone added a locking mechanism or replaced the lock or have any suggestions on how to secure it better? It's not urgent as I've travelled with it many times...

    Update 3/12/2023 - Test Ride Results I've been able to get in ~400 mi of successful test riding since I picked her up 2 weeks ago. The wind therapy has been great...cold, but great! :) Thank you all for your input and support! Take care, and ryde safe.

    Hey rhino1...realized last night I only gave a partial answer, so I apologize. I got the dealer warranty through Head Motors here in Columbia, MO.

    Update 2/25/2023 I got her back last night. The BRP warranty covered all related costs. I do feel more confident in the mechanic's work after talking with him. The issue (as mentioned earlier in this thread) was the weld on the shaft broke, but the cause of the break is speculative. I didn't...

    @rhino1 - I went with the local (non-orignally purchased) dealership warranty.

    Update 2/24/2023 Bought a 4 year transferable warranty ($1,400) as the BRP warranty expires in a few days (March 2023). Probably could've gotten it cheaper, so please don't say as this hurt my soul and wallet, etc. after everything else paid into this bike since purchased. The bike is ready...

    Why I Ryde

    So...below is a brief example of why I ryde with and beyond wind therapy. What a peaceful time this was... One of my favorite evening rides ever was during my 2022 Table Rock Lake fall weekend trip. This is just snippet of the enjoyment. The phoenix rising during the ride was a neat...

    Update as of 2/2/2023 The transmission is (for the most part) back together. However, it will remain on the work bench and not be re-installed until the mechanic receives some torque specs from BRP. However x 2, BRP is closed until 2/7/2023. HTH do you close an entire company such as BRP...

    Update as of 1/20/2023 Parts came in some time last week. No ETA (at that time) when they will get back to things...if not this past Saturday, then maybe tomorrow.

    Update as of 1/12/2023 Mechanic found the shift shaft assembly broken and ordered a new one which is on backorder. No ETA. Once installed and transmission put back, he'll test it as there might be more to it...we'll see. In case anyone is interested as I had to look it up...below is an image...

    It is a really good suggestion. I have not put much thought into it and keep forgetting. Thank you. It'd be nice if they (BRP) tagged an extended "promise" on there from all the trouble I've had since 'literally' day 2 after arriving home trailering it 4 hours from the dealership...then...

    Thanks...I'm optimistic about '23. I think my whining was a bit much though as I still love Spyders.

    Update Jan 3, 2023 Update: Bike is still in the shop. Mechanic has found nothing wrong with the transmission (and no one found any computer issues from BRP over the past 2 months since the bike arrived at the shop 11/8). Service Shop is now waiting on BRP via email for further instructions...

    Update - Transmission Work as Begun Bike is in surgery with the transmisison, etc. taken apart. No ETA, but things are progressing. This is not a solution as BRP still does not know what is actually wrong. Process of elimination... L8R

    Retraction from the last update. Me again...retraction from the last update. I was mistaken. The dealership told me today they have not received all of the tools. No ETA.

    Update...month +. Update... My bike is still at the shop. BRP wants the dealership to break down the transmission. The dealership does not have the tools and had to order them where they arrived the end of last week. No ETA as they've not done a transmission break down before. I do not...

    Hey all... Update. Bike is still at the dealership. Mechanic was able to get the transmission unlocked last week. They are still working with BRP on computer diagnostics. They no nothing else, and there's no ETA since 11/8/2022 when I dropped her off. I could not find where in the warranty...

    FYI...the brake fluid question is just that. I checked, and she is at the max line with brake fluid. So, it's not that even if there is a relation between being stuck in gear and low brake fluid.

    Can brake fluid really have anything to do with this bike being stuck in 1st? Read that in an old post on another forum...but, no one responded.
