• 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.

    Just brought mine home today. was pleasantly surprised the HCM filter was included because although I only have 20k on mine I wanted it changed when it was in the shop. I asked for air filter and spark plugs changed. Flat rate was 3.6 hours, but they only charged me 1 hour because the engine was...

    Latest BRP Safety Bulletins for Shaft Replacement (2019-12) and Shaft & Sprocket Replacement (2019-13) Recalls - Jan 2025

    BRP is requiring the dealer to take pictures of the odometer and serial numbers before ordering parts. Now parts are on back order. It's not riding season here and I trailered mine in, so I have chosen to leave at dealer in their warehouse. They put a battery tender on it.

    Latest BRP Safety Bulletins for Shaft Replacement (2019-12) and Shaft & Sprocket Replacement (2019-13) Recalls - Jan 2025

    Taking mine in Tuesday. The dealer told me BRP won't let them order parts without vehicle in shop. No used fluids go back in. It gets an oil change kit which includes the filter. They were quite surprised that it gave them 8 hours plus. Hope this all works out for all the owners affected.

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    I am wondering when they do this, will the coolant be replaced? Will the motor oil be replaced? Just before I received my recall letter, I was going to have the dealer replace the coolant, oil, oil filter, hcm filter, air filter. Was just going to drop it off at end of riding season. Now if...

    Holy scamooly serious parts delay!

    A lot of stuff from cheap parts is dealer stock that they work with. Dealers don't seem to work we each other like that. If it was mine and the part was available, I would get it asap. Then try and work something out with insurance if not the dealer for a credit. I absolutely would have the...

    What's the one thing you think is Useless Junk on your Spyder?

    Larger screen and ability to use android/apple auto. Factory option for brighter or more driving lights. My 2018 has the tinted lenses and it really isn't bright enough. Real hi/low beams so lights don't bounce at night following someone and give them a headache Lighted controls on handle bars...

    As far as the 3 lbs weight savings, here in America, it would be more cost effective if thee operator of the vehicle lost the 3 lbs.

    Where is the Spyder's CoG?

    Ed, have a 2018 RTL. Negligible gear as I am planning on using totes e tracked to front or back sides of trailer. I have a very steep driveway and sub-division is very hilly, no flat areas.

    Where is the Spyder's CoG?

    This is the problem with the internet and forums in particular. I asked a specific question. I know how to set up a trailer with tongue weight so it doesn't fishtail. That is not the question I asked. I am unwilling to load my Spyder in the trailer without being able to tie it down and drive it...

    Rear tire change needed in Wisconsin - any recommendations?

    When I bought mine at Engleharts, they said they would put any tire on I brought in. I brought it in last fall and they didn't like the veredstien tire because the size was so different. I had to singe a paper taking full responsibility if it messed with the VSS. They mounted it though.

    Ceramic Exterior Coating

    From what I understand, you cannot let water spots dry on it. They are very hard to remove. This stuff is best for garage queens(cars). That said, the few times you get caught out in the rain, you should be able to maintain a spyder.

    Sitting during the shutdown?

    Well it is more of a Wisconsin joke as it would be a 5 1/2 hour round trip. It just happens to go through arguably the best riding in the state. It is called the drift less area. https://www.travelwisconsin.com/article/tours/motorcycling-the-driftless-area

    Sitting during the shutdown?

    Instead of poker runs we should have recipe runs. Stop at grocery store for an ingredient , take pic and move on. We could post them here.

    Thoughts on Clay Bar your front

    Why don't you try a dryer sheet in a spray bottle of water. Let it soak a little while and wipe off. It removes bugs with no elbow grease.
