• 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.

    Depreciation

    Thanks everyone for your encouraging replies, I think I was expecting a depreciation of around 4-5k but was a little shocked with a drop of 10k from the original price. I’m selling it to buy something a bit more travel friendly, I know I could dress mine up a little (all I have added is the...

    Does anyone else in Canada feel like we have been let down by BRP, I paid C$21600 for my 2009 SE5 and now I have been told by the dealer that it is worth only C$ 12500, Its 18 months old, I am told the reason for this is the new RT models and the dealerships dropping the prices of the old models...

    Men R from Mars Okay, from a man who has been married to the same woman for 17 years I can tell you there is no way that men will ever understand the complexity of how woman work, woman will always think we are stupid, sometimes it works in our favour to let them think that is true.

    Disappointed SE5 08

    The service manager at Bow Cycle in Calgary phoned today, he informed me they will be picking the :spyder:up in the next couple of days, and will take it away to be fixed, I just wonder when I will see it again and if it will have all the gremlins out of it. At least they are picking it up...

    Disappointed SE5 08

    Losing my mind Yes I am destined to join the line of depressed SE5 owners. My SE5 has 1200Km and I can't even ride it to the store because it locks up in 1st gear. The remedy is quite simple, I pull the 5 amp fuse from the the fuse panel, put it straight back in and everything works, for a...

    My 600 Mile Service Results – Your opinion?

    Tom, it sounds like your first experience at the dealership was as disappointing as mine. You can feel a bit better that your dealer charges $67/hr the one I used charged me $89/hr ($109 Can). I didn't have any gas smell until after the service. Iv'e only ridden it twice since then (it snowed...

    First Service

    My ride with my new SE5 to the nearest dealer was a 700Km round trip, the morning was cold 2 C the ride home was better 20 C. If you dont like the weather in Canada just wait 5 minutes it'll change. The service didn't go very well, I let the dealer know about the noisy brakes well in advance, he...

    Freaky

    No I definately didn't hit the paddle, we were actually standing about 3 feet away from it when it happened. Its a good job that I had the parking bake applied as there was a Harley and an M109 parked in front of me.
